The present invention relates to low slope roofing systems and low slope single ply roofing systems.
Aspects of the present invention includes the Stealth Anchor and the Stealth Bond. The present application is directed to the Stealth Bond. The “Stealth Anchor” is a low Slope Roofing Fastening System. The “Stealth Bond” is a metal roofing adhesive fastening system. Low Slope Roofing is less than 2/12 to flat built up roofing. The prior art utilizes strapping in tension with fasteners placed perpendicular in shear. Both the “Stealth Anchor” and the “Stealth Bond” systems utilize the straps surface area in adhesive for tension, with the fasteners in withdrawal and not in shear. This is one of the advances in the present invention.
The Stealth anchor product would be utilized in lieu of the screw attached 6″ metal plates which are the current industry attachment method. The present invention may provide a continuous Gun Nailed Anchor Strapping System for concealed Surface Area Adhesion Connections. For Surface area adhesive structural attachment of Peel & Stick underlayment to decking thru 30# roll felt for modified ply torch down, modified bitumen membrane Low Slope roll roofing Applications. A Continuous Roll Strapping distribution hand cart for automatic gun nail attachment is recommended. This super-efficient product is utilized in lieu of the screw attached 6″ metal plates which is the current industry method. For the truss attachment, ring shank nails may be a minimum of 1-¾″. A Continuous Roll Strapping distribution hand cart for automatic gun nail attachment is recommended. A continuous Roll would weigh approx. 150′=37.045#, 200′=49.393# and 250′=61.742#.
The Stealth Bond is a metal roofing adhesive fastening system. Again, the prior art utilizes strapping in tension with fasteners placed perpendicular in shear. The Stealth Bond system utilizes the same Stealth Anchor straps surface area in adhesive for tension, with the fasteners in withdrawal and not in shear. This is a patentable difference plus the fact that the Stealth Bond system utilizes foam adhesive to bond metal roofing for greater than 2/12 slopes to the Stealth Anchor. According to one embodiment, 3M's CR-20 low rise adhesive could be used or also their AH-160 Foam adhesive or ADCO Korapur 125 one part synthetic moisture-triggered polyurethane or a Korapur 330 two part synthetic epoxy-triggered adhesive to attach metal roofing to the Stealth Anchor Strap. This type metal roofing application has never been conceived or accomplished until the present invention. Attached are pictures,
The invention provides an innovative metal roofing concealed adhesive attachment concept. The process may be to gun nail 1½″ to 4″ knurled 25 ga. Steel strapping with ring shank roofing nails on 6 to 8″ on center, OC, along the length of the straps that are spaced 16″ to 24″ on centers horizontally up the slope of the roof deck, as depicted in
The present invention provides a roofing system, comprising: at least one strap spaced on centers horizontally up the slope of a roof deck; at least one bead of adhesive applied to the at least one strap; at least two metal roofing panels placed on the at least one bead of adhesive applied to the at least one strap; and at least two fasteners attached to the at least two metal roofing panels and into the roof deck at a top and perimeter of the at least two metal roofing panels.
The present invention provides a roofing system, comprising: at least one strap (10) spaced on centers horizontally up the slope of a roof deck (12); at least one bead of adhesive (14) applied to the at least one strap; at least two metal roofing panels (16) placed on the at least one bead of adhesive applied to the at least one strap; and at least two fasteners (18) attached to the at least two metal roofing panels and into the roof deck at a top and perimeter of the at least two metal roofing panels. The at least one strap (10) spaced on centers horizontally up the slope of a roof desk may be steel strapping. The at least one strap may be tensile steel with a corrosion resistant barrier coating. The at least one strap may also be rolled tensile steel. That is to say it may be in a continuous roll form. The at least one strap may be perpendicular to the length of the underlayment layer and spaced a predetermined length on center. For example, the at least one strap (10) may be an anchor seam roll that is 4″ wide and Galvalume™ Grade 50 steel. The strap may be an anchor seam roll that may also be, for example, 29 ga. ASTM A 792, Grade 80 Class 1 Approved SS, AZ50 with a width between 1.9 and 4.1 inches and a thickness between 0.014 and 0.016 inches or 26 ga. ASTM A 792, CS Type B, AZ50 with a width between 1.9 and 4.1 inches and a thickness between 0.017 and 0.020 inches. The anchor seam roll may be a Galvalume™ carbon acrylume ASTM A792-10 approved CS type B as coated C 0.02/0.15 mn 0.60 max P 0.30 max S 0.035 max CU 0.25 max NI 0.20 Max CR 0.15 Max MO 0.6 max V 0.008 Max Ti 0.025 Max CB 0.008 Max with the exposed prime side out and AZ50 clear organic surface treatment with dry pickle welds.
