Description

Roof system and method

The application is the Application No. 200710090141.7 submitted on April 16th, 2007, invention entitled " Roof system And method " the divisional application of application for a patent for invention.

Technical field

The invention of applicant relates to the roofing (roofing) of building, and more particularly, to slabstone (slate) Roof system and installation method.

Background technology

Slate roofs is liked by masses due to their attractive in appearance and durable quality.Slabstone is the most exquisite available roofing One in material, and for comparing asphalt shingle (asphalt shingle) roof, there is several advantage.Such as, Slate roof is prevented fires, opposing hail damage, and is generally of 100 years or longer service life.But, slabstone is firm Property lithotome goods, regrettably, described rigidity lithotome goods can be by stress damage.Stress can pass through Several ways is introduced in slabstone, but causes the modal reason of the stress of slabstone to be used to slabstone is attached to room The nail of top board (roof deck).Using nail to install, described nail needs to be fastened and makes slabstone hanging nail on.If nail quilt Insert the most tightly, then nail can extrude (pinch) slabstone.On the other hand, if nail is not inserted into the deepest, then slabstone Bonding jumper (overlapping piece) may rupture from hiding pressure spot.Environment is to wood decking (wood decking) Impact with nail is likely to cause stress.The environmental change of the lifting of such as temperature and humidity can cause slab to expand and receive Contracting.If in this case, nail is in crunch, then slabstone may rupture or fall.

Further, slate roofs fairly expensive (generally than synthetic asphalts roofing expensive two to three times), and compare synthesis roof boarding, The weight of slabstone is quite big (described slabstone may need the extra support for roof, increases cost further).Stone slab Material itself is expensive, so any minimizing of slabstone quantity will cause cost and the weight on roof necessary to effective roofing Reduction.

About slate roof and its installation method abundant background can in NRCA roofing and waterproof handbook fourth edition, Page 1179 finds in page 1227, and described file is included herein here by quoting.Typical slate roofs Being so to build, so that first wooden roof covers with substrate (underlayment) layer, described substrate layer is usual For asphalt felt paper.Subsequently, in addition to the position at overlap joint, overlap joint slabstone layer (course) is in order to the side of two-layer (ply) Formula covers slate and applies, and wherein, there are three layers of slabstone in the position of described overlap joint.From slate roofs surface to felt not Through seam (through joint) should occur.So, using conventional slate roof technology, roofing slate must be by enough Ground extends and allows three layers of overlap joint (with the two-layer slabstone on roof expose portion), to guarantee that water can not seam between roofing slate Between through roof.Accordingly, because the double-deck covering needed for waterproof ability and three layers of overlap joint, conventional slate roof Technology needs to use a large amount of slate material, is greatly increased cost and the weight of slate roofs.

Slate roofs can be by reducing the amount being used for creating the slabstone on water-proof roofing surface and solid by eliminating roofing slate The nail of the appropriate location being scheduled on roof (or needing any other penetrator or the system in hole in slabstone) and be modified. This can allow more robust, but relatively inexpensive and lighter slate roofs.Further, if there is resisting by wind at roofing slate Some means of the uplift force of upper generation, then slate roofs can be more durable.High wind may be stopped under the leading edge of roofing slate Gear (catch), puts on slabstone by lifting force.By this way, wind can increase the stress on roofing slate.It addition, wind is real Roofing slate can be lifted on border, following roof is exposed to natural agent (element).Therefore, the slate roof system of improvement Unite and will use some that roofing slate is attached to roofing board by the device to windproof uplift force, it is provided that more durable and gasproof The roof waited.

Summary of the invention
