Embodiment Construction

[0017] The roof tile attachment system and method (generally designated 100 ) will now be described in more detail with reference to particular figures. figure 1 and 2 A perspective view of a typical roof tile, generally designated 10, is shown. figure 1 shows the upper side of the roof tile 10, figure 2 The underside of the roof tile 10 is shown. figure 1 and figure 2 The roof tile 10 shown in is commercially available from Monier-Raymond Company (now MonierLifetile LLC). It should be understood that the invention is not limited to the roof tile designs shown in the figures, but is equally applicable to various other shapes and types of roof tiles well known to those skilled in the art. For example, flat roof tiles and reverse curved roof tiles, among other styles, may be used with the systems and methods of the present invention. Typically, roof tiles 10 are made of cementitious or clay material. It should also be appreciated that the systems and methods of the prese...

Abstract

Methods of attaching roof tiles are disclosed. The methods may be used to attach a new roof or to upgrade an existing roof. The methods include the use of mechanical fasteners and polymer adhesives, including foamable adhesives.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to roof tile attachment systems and methods involving the use of polymeric adhesives and mechanical fasteners. Background technique [0002] Roof tiles are widely used throughout the world as roof coverings on pitched roof slabs. Roof tiles are extremely durable and provide an excellent aesthetic and decorative effect to the buildings to which they are applied. Roof tiles as described herein may be made from ceramic materials, but also brick, stone, concrete, clay or plastic, wood, metal, rubber or asphalt materials. [0003] Roof tiles are installed using mortar or a similar adhesive between the roof tiles and the roof substrate, such as roofing felt. Applying the mortar is a slow and labor intensive process, since the mortar usually must first be prepared in buckets at ground level, then the bucket must be lifted to the roof, after which it is applied to the roof substrate. Mortar adds unnecessary weight to the roof. ...
