Abstract
A roof structure may be made with one or more sandwich panels having a round corner and installed with a drainage slope (e.g., 5-10 degree) to facilitate removal of liquid (e.g., water, rain, snow, sleet, etc.) from the roof structure. The round corner may have any desired curvature and/or angle for establishing a drainage area. A bonding material may be used to secure and/or seal the underlying interface of the round corner. The roof structure may be secured to an exterior wall by the bonding material.
Claims13
A roof member used in forming at least a portion of a roof, the roof member comprising:
- at least one sandwich panel having a first outer layer and a second outer layer spaced from the first outer layer by a panel core,
- the sandwich panel further including a first end, a second end and a round corner between the first end and the second end, wherein the round corner includes a continuous first outer layer, a discontinuous second outer layer and a discontinuous portion of the panel core, and
- a first bonding material forming a concave shape having an apex at a portion of the discontinuous second outer layer that forms the round corner.
A structure used in forming at least a portion of a building, the structure comprising:
- at least one roof member sandwich panel having:
- a panel core,
- a first outer layer,
- a second outer layer spaced from the first outer layer by the panel core,
- a first end,
- a second end, and
- a round corner between the first end and the second end, wherein the first outer layer is continuous at the round corner, the second outer layer is discontinuous at the round corner, and a portion of the panel core is discontinuous at the round corner;
- a first bonding material forming a concave shape having an apex at a portion of the discontinuous second outer layer at the round corner;
- at least one wall member sandwich panel having:
- a panel core,
- a first outer layer, and
- a second outer layer spaced from the first outer layer by the panel core, and
- a second bonding material between the second outer layer of the at least one roof member sandwich panel and the at least one wall member sandwich panel, the second bonding material securing the second outer layer of the at least one roof member sandwich panel to the at least one wall member sandwich panel without an intervening connecting element.
