Abstract
A roofing system which employs grooved batt members. The grooves ran across the width of the batt members on a back side of the batt members and are longitudinally spaced along the length of the batt members. The grooved sides of the batt members are placed adjacent to the top of the roof structure to allow water and other liquid elements to drain through the batt members and off of the roof structure.
Claims13
A roofing system which facilitates drainage and enhances durability of a roof comprising:
- a water resistant roof membrane positioned over an entire area of the roof;
- at least one water resistant batt member having a front side;
- a back side, and a plurality of grooves running along a width of the back side of said batt member, said plurality of grooves being located at predetermined spaces along a length of said batt member;
- and
- means for fastening said back side of said batt member to said roof membrane.
A batt member, positioned between a roof membrane and a plurality of tile members, comprising a top end, a bottom end, two side ends, a front side, and a back side, said back side of said batt member lying adjacent to said roof membrane and comprising a plurality of grooves running across a width of said batt member and said front side of said batt member lying adjacent to said plurality of tile members.
A method for draining water and other solvents from a roof structure and thereby enhancing durability of the roof structure comprising the steps of:
- positioning a roof membrane over an entire area of the roof structure;
- positioning a plurality of batt members having grooves over an entire area of the roof membrane;
