Styro roofing system

Abstract

Styro Roofing System is an all in one roofing and partitioning system that eliminates the use of plywood sheeting, insulation, tarpaper, flashing, shingles, guttering and partitioning like sheet rock. The system is profitable in that it is lighter, reduces the manpower to install, cost less and above all last a lifetime.Styro Roofing System is prepared using plastic and foam. There is a grid and rigid plastic sheeting which is one mold, foam, mesh and a clay base cement finish. There are three types of panels, the gutter panel, the sheeting panel and the partition panel.The grid acts as conventional plywood sheeting and is drilled directly to the roof rafters.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a roofing system that goes directly on rafters and more particularly, to a system that can be used for interior partitioning.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A conventional roofing system which uses plywood, felt, tarpaper, drip caps face many problems relating to flashing, weathering, wind damage, improper design and the lack of maintenance. Often, the rooftop is used as a platform for all types of mechanical equipment, ladder struts, antennas, flagpoles, signs and bracing.[0003]Additionally the interior partitioning which is generally sheetrock does not have a finish surface and does not offer temperature control and sound proofing.[0004]It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a roofing system that is applied directly to roof rafters[0005]It is another object of the invention to reduce the cost of a conventional roof.[0006]It is another object of the invention to eliminate the use of plywood sheeting in con...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012]In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a roofing system with three sets of panels, a gutter panel, a sheeting panel and partitioning panel. The panels consist of a clay base finish, plastic mesh, Styrofoam with interlocking male and female joints, a rigid sheeting and a plastic grid. The rigid sheeting and plastic grid replaces the use of plywood on conventional roofing thus providing the main strength and support for weight. The rigid sheeting and plastic grid is all one mold. The plastic grid, which is 1 inch thick, is positioned 1 foot apart (12″×12″) horizontally and vertically. This is so when applying to roof rafter screws will go through the plastic grid. The rigid sheeting which is ⅛ of an inch thick, is positioned 1 inch apart (4″×4″) horizontally and vertically. This provides solidity, firmness and flexibility should cutting of any part of the panel becomes necessary. The panels can be to any size, shape or color.

[0013]In accordance with the present invention and as a result of its cement finish surface, foam which has temperature, acoustic and durable significance, and mold comprising of the rigid sheeting and plastic grid thus providing strength, the product can be applied directly to studs for partitioning.

[0014]Styro Roofing System is both a form of roofing and partitioning that eliminates the use of plywood sheeting, insulation, tarpaper, flashing, shingles, guttering and partitioning like sheet rock. The system is profitable in that it is lighter, reduces the manpower to install, cost less and above all last a lifetime.

Problems solved by technology

A conventional roofing system which uses plywood, felt, tarpaper, drip caps face many problems relating to flashing, weathering, wind damage, improper design and the lack of maintenance.

Additionally the interior partitioning which is generally sheetrock does not have a finish surface and does not offer temperature control and sound proofing.
