Problems solved by technology

First, any dripping during installation can penetrate into the underlying building, thereby causing injury to people and damage to equipment, furnishings, etc.
Additionally, dripping, in the case where the underlying deck is made of wood, could also serve to attach the insulation layer to the deck by means of the bituminous material, as well as the mechanical fasteners, thereby making removal of the insulation layer difficult in those situations where it is necessary to replace the roof.
Additionally, the metal layer, in the case of wood decks, prevents the roof from being adhesively attached to the deck since such adhesion could make roof replacement very costly and, in some cases, impossible.
Moisture vapor passing into a roof could cause blistering, cracking and distortion of the roof.

Embodiment Construction

)

[0024] Referring now to the drawings and, particularly, to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown an embodiment of a roofing panel 10 illustrating certain features of the present invention. The roofing panel 10 includes a laminate 12 of metal 14 and fabric 16. Preferably, the metal 14 is aluminum and may be 2 mils thick and the fabric 16 is a non-woven polyester having a weight ranging from 4 to 14 ounces per square yard. A polyester sheet having satisfactory properties is one made by the Johns Manville Company, South Carolina and sold under the trade name of Trivera®. A suitable aluminum / polyester laminate is Polaralume®, marketed by Palisades Atlantic inc., Ridgefield Park, N.J.

[0025] The laminate 12 is attached to a roofing insulation board 18 of any size such that at least two sides, e.g. 12a and 12b, overhang the board 18 with the other sides 12c and 12d cut even to the insulating board 18. The laminate 12 may be attached to the board 18 with the aluminum side 14 down, as shown in FIG...

Abstract

A roofing panel includes an insulation board and a laminate of a metal layer and a fabric layer attached to the board. The board has a quadrilateral shape defining four edges and the laminate is attached to the board such that the laminate overhangs at least two of the edges of the board. A roof is formed from a plurality of the roofing panels which are interconnected with one another such that an overhanging edge of one roofing panel overlies a non-overhanging edge of an adjacent roofing panel.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is based on and claims priority to Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 529,379, filed Dec. 11, 2003 and entitled “ROOFING PANELS HAVING METAL / FABRIC LAYER LAMINATED TO INSULATION BOARD WITH OVERHANGS,” the entire disclosure of which is incorporated hereby by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates generally to roofs and, more particularly, to a metal / fabric laminated roofing panel and to roofs made using the same. [0003] Although the present invention is applicable to any type of roof, it has particular applicability in connection with its use in built-up and single ply roofs. [0004] Built-up roofs are formed of alternate layers of bituminous material and felt which are assembled or “built-up” in the field. The alternate layers of bituminous material and felt are assembled onto a base sheet which overlies an insulation layer. The insulation layer and base sheet are attached to a roof d...
