Abstract
An insulated roof panel comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending spaced parallel web trusses secured to an inner sheathing and an outer sheathing. Each of the web trusses comprises at least one top cord, a bottom cord and a plurality of webs joining the cords together. A vapor barrier is sandwiched between the bottom cords of the web trusses and the inner sheathing. A layer of insulation extends upwardly from the vapor barrier a height less than the height of the insulated roof panel in order to allow air to flow over the insulation. Sleeves built in to the web trusses allow fasteners of a length less than the height of the panel to secure the roof panel to timber frame members.
Claims20
An insulated roof panel adapted to be secured to timber frame members, said insulated roof panel comprising:
- a plurality of spaced, parallel web trusses, each of said web trusses comprising at least one top cord, a bottom cord spaced from said at least one top cord and a plurality of webs joining said cords together,
- an inner sheathing secured to said bottom cords of said web trusses,
- a vapor barrier sandwiched between said bottom cords of said web trusses and said inner sheathing,
- an outer sheathing secured to said top cords of said web trusses,
- insulation located between said vapor barrier and said outer sheathing;
- and
- hollow sleeves extending through said insulated roof panel, each of said sleeves being sized to allow a fastener to pass through said sleeve and secure said insulated roof panel to one of said timber frame members.
An insulated roof panel adapted to be secured to timber frame members, said insulated roof panel comprising:
- a plurality of spaced, parallel web trusses, each of said web trusses comprising a top cord, a bottom cord spaced below said top cord and a plurality of webs joining said top and bottom cords,
- a plurality of brackets, each of said brackets extending over one of said bottom cords of one of said web trusses and having a pair of holes therethrough,
- an inner sheathing secured to said bottom cords of said web trusses,
- an outer sheathing secured to said top cords of said web trusses,
- insulation located between said inner sheathing and said outer sheathing, and
- a plurality of sleeves extending through said insulated roof panel, wherein each of said web trusses is adapted to be secured to one of said timber frame members with fasteners, each fastener passing through one of said sleeves, one of said holes in one of said brackets, and said inner sheathing before entering said one of said timber frame members.
An insulated roof panel adapted to be secured to a pair of timber frame members, said insulated roof panel having a longitudinal dimension, a transverse dimension, a bottom surface and a top surface, said longitudinal dimension being greater than said transverse dimension and the distance between the top and bottom surfaces of the insulated roof panel defining the height of the insulated roof panel, said insulated roof panel comprising:
- a plurality of spaced, parallel longitudinally extending web trusses, each of said web trusses comprising at least one top cord, a bottom cord spaced from said at least one top cord and a plurality of webs joining said bottom cord to said at least one top cord,
- an inner sheathing secured to said bottom cords of said web trusses,
- an outer sheathing secured to said top cords of said web trusses,
- a layer of insulation located between said inner sheathing and said outer sheathing, and
- a plurality of hollow sleeves built into said web trusses in order to allow fasteners of a length less than the height of said insulated roof panel to secure said insulated roof panel to said timber frame members.
An insulated roof panel adapted to be secured to timber frame members, said insulated roof panel having a longitudinal dimension and a transverse dimension shorter than said longitudinal dimension, said insulated roof panel comprising:
- a plurality of longitudinally extending spaced, parallel truss members,
- an inner sheathing secured to said truss members,
- an outer sheathing secured to said truss members, and
- insulation located between said inner sheathing and said outer sheathing wherein said inner sheathing extends less than said longitudinal dimension of said insulated roof panel and said outer sheathing extends less than said longitudinal dimension of said insulated roof panel to allow air to ventilate said insulated roof panel.
