Embodiment Construction

[0035] exist figure 1 In , a top view of a roof panel 102 is shown. In the method herein, an initial step is to inspect and prepare the shingle 102 . In one embodiment, roof panel 102 has gutters 104 , eaves 114 , gables / cornices 116 and ridge 118 . In this exemplary roof panel 102 inspection step, the existing roof sheathing is inspected for structural integrity. Roof panels 102 should preferably be a minimum of 15 / 32 inch plywood, or code approved oriented strand board (OSB). All shingle 102 nails should be driven flush with shingle 102 . Roof panels 102 should be inspected for protrusions that could damage felt backing 110 (see image 3 ).

[0036] figure 2 is a top view of the shingle 102 illustrating the preparation of the gutter 104 and the installation of the drip gutter edge 108 . In this step of the method herein, the user installs a peel and stick membrane 106 in the gutter 104 while overlapping the seam of the membrane 106 with a preferred minimum of 6 inche...

The batten includes receiving portions for removably securing hanger devices along the batten. Related methods for support and assembly are also described.

Description

technical field [0001] Applicants' invention relates to roofing for buildings and, more particularly, to slate roofing systems and methods of installation. Background technique [0002] Slate roofs are loved for their beauty and durable quality. Slate is one of the finest roofing materials available and has several advantages over asphalt shingle roofs. For example, slate roofs are fire-resistant, resistant to hail damage, and often have a service life of 100 years or more. However, slate is a rigid natural stone article which unfortunately can be damaged by stress. Stress can be introduced into the flagstone in several ways, but the most common cause of stress to the flagstone is the nails used to attach the flagstone to the roof deck. Installation is done with nails which need to be fastened to allow the slabs to hang from the nails. If the nail is inserted too tightly, the nail can pinch the slate. On the other hand, if the nails are not inserted deep enough, the ove...
