摘要:
A system for constructing a roof on a roof support structure comprising (a) identifying and mapping the roof by zones of demand requirements throughout the area to be covered by the roof; (b) covering the area with metal panels; (c) choosing a connecting process for connecting side-adjacent and end-adjacent panels, wherein a connecting process is selected for each demand zone to inter-connect the side-adjacent and end-adjacent panels that satisfies the performance requirements of that particular demand zone so that all of the metal panels are inter-connected to each other and to the roof support structure.

An improved standing seam roof assembly and support apparatus which seeks to achieve a number of objects including improved panel joining integrity both at the standing seam joints along longitudinal edges of the panels and at interlapping panel ends including the four corner juncture areas. A unique interlocking standing seam joint features cooperative clip and side lap sealant positioning. Advantageous end lapping is securely sealed via end lap sealant and a cinch strap assembly which compresses and interconnects the panel ends. Novel notching of the panel ends permits installation of near identical panels in both a first installing direction and in a reversed second installing direction. Other features include adjustable and flexible roof panel supporting structures, improved panel center and edge hold-down assemblies, and an improved seam roller apparatus.
摘要:
An improved roof system in which an elastomeric flexible membrane is disposed as a protective roof layer over roofing members supported by adjustable roofing support spacers over a preexisting roof. Strips of the membrane are joined together by hidden fastener assemblies which sealingly grip adjacent membrane edges and which attach the membrane to the underlying support spacers.

A post installation skylight assembly is presented in which a backup frame with an access opening is rested upon underlying secondary structural members prior to installation of a roof panel over and nesting with the backup frame, post removal of a medial position of the roof panel to expose the access opening, and positioning a translucent pane member over the opening frame to cover the access opening.
摘要:
An insulation and paneling apparatus comprising a first panel member supported by the inner frame of a pre-engineered building, a layer of compressible insulation adjacent to the first panel member, a spacer member supported over the insulation layer by a plurality of fastener members penetrating the insulation and disposing the spacer member a predetermined distance from the first panel member, and a second panel member supported by the spacer member, the fastener members designed such that the insulation substantially retains its prepenetration characteristics and designed to attach to either the first panel member or the inner building frame.
摘要:
A standing seam roof panel joint assembly for standing seam roofs includes a pair of upstanding seam forming mating walls at the side edges of adjacent roof panels which may be interlocked and embraced by a cap strip. These walls of each panel are formed with opposed complementary pockets located substantially the same distance down from their upper ends, adjacent reversely bent contiguous wall sections which are embraced by the cap strip. Mastic or "hot melt" beads of predetermined volume are disposed in the pocket in each wall section, and distributed when the pockets are deformed during the seaming operation in which the seam forming edges are interlocked.
摘要:
A support spacer apparatus relating to a paneling system for providing improved insulating qualities to pre-engineered buildings and the like in which stresses imparted to a supported structure are transferred through compressible insulation without diminishing the thermal character of the insulation, the support spacer apparatus comprising a spacer member having a plurality of fastener assemblies connected thereto and extendable through the insulation; the fastener assemblies attachable to an underlaying substrate by the application of energy to the fastener assemblies for supporting the spacer member at a predetermined distance from the substrate such that the insulation is disposed substantially in its prepenetration state after attachment of the fastener assemblies to the substrate.
摘要:
A standing seam roof assembly having adjacent roof panels supported by underlying support structure in overlapping edge relationship to form a standing seam between adjacent roof panels, a first roof panel having a female sidelap portion forming male insertion cavities and a second roof panel having a male sidelap portion inserted into the male insertion cavities to form the standing seam assembly. The male sidelap portion has a tang member that lockingly engages a retaining groove of the female sidelap portion. The standing seam assembly prevents unfurling of the first and second roof panels by forming multiple force couples that resist forces due to uplift of the first and second panels. Mastic is placed between portions of the female and male sidelap portions to form a weathertight seal.
摘要:
A standing seam roof assembly in which adjacent roof panels are supported by underlying support structure in overlapping edge relationship to form a standing seam between adjacent roof panels is disclosed. A two piece hold down clip having a hook shaped section and a clip base secures the standing seam to the underlying support structure. The hook shaped section includes a slidable radiused portion, a substantially vertically extending portion and a hook portion which hooks over and is compressively secured to a corresponding radiused portion of the male sidelap portion. The slidable radiused portion slidably engages a c-shaped beam portion of the clip base, allowing the hook shaped section to move relative to the clip base as the panels expand and contract as a result of environmental conditions, while still resisting the unfurling and unzipping of the standing seam as a result of uplift forces on the panels. The clip base has a flange that is secured by way of fasteners that extend through the flange and into the underlying support structure. The flange includes downwardly extending feet tabs useful in concentratingly compressing a layer of thermal insulation under the flange to ensure a secure and level attachment of the clip base to the underlying structure.
