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. ...
