Abstract:
Tile panel assemblies and systems of manufacturing and installing said tile panels. The tile panels of the subject invention can be used as a covering for walls, roofs, siding, etc. on a variety of structures. In one embodiment, the tiles are manufactured of a lightweight concrete having sufficient strength to withstand extreme weather and wind conditions, as well as normal handling or foot traffic required for installation and maintenance. In a further embodiment, the tiles of the subject invention comprise insulation, preferably foam, affixed thereto. The tile panels are constructed so as to present an overlapping configuration and selectively interlocking systems that provide resistance to negative pressure wind uplifting and enhanced insulation properties. Also disclosed is a tile bracket apparatus that can secure the leading edge of a tile to prevent wind-uplift.
Abstract:
An improved building roof tile that is featherweight, category 5 hurricane proof, yields a high R-value, offer low thermal transference into attic space, will retrofit any sloped roof without structural build-up, can be molded into single or triple units, cannot break under foot or when extreme pressures are applied, can produce solar energy, is easy to transport and install and can molded to look like slate, wood, flat or roll tile. The tile is made of polymeric isocyanate component and water based HCFC-2455fa blown.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a ventilation system for an attic or rafter space that mimics the appearance of the roofing material and thus has little effect on the appearance of the building. The vent (40) has two pieces, a primary vent (12) and a secondary vent (40) and they may be made of aluminum, galvanized steel or copper. The primary vent (12) is installed on a roof deck over a ventilation opening cut through the deck. The secondary vent is constructed to look like the surrounding field tiles (21) and is installed over the primary vent (40). One or more vent openings (36) in the secondary vent (12) and an opening in the primary vent conduct (40) conduct air between the attic or rafter space and the outside. The secondary vent (12) has a skeleton (16) with one or more vent openings (36) and a cap (14) covering each opening shielding the ventilating space. Skeletons (16) are formed in one piece and are made to fit each different size and type of roofing tile. The caps (14) and the skeleton (16) are ribbed for rigidity. The caps (14) are made in one size only to minimize manufacturing and inventory complexity, thus any cap may be fitted on any skeleton (16).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Biberortgangziegel (1) mit einem Decklappen (2) und einem linken bzw. rechten Ortganglappen (4) an einer ersten Ziegellängsseite (3). An einer Oberseite (10) des Decklappens (2), im Bereich (22) der ersten Ziegellängsseite (3) bzw. im Bereich (22) des Ortganglappens (4), ist ein über die Oberseite (10) des Decklappens (2) überstehendes Flächenziegelsegment (11) angeordnet, wobei das Flächenziegelsegment (11) mit einer ersten Segmentseitenkante (18) ausgebildet ist, die einer der ersten Ziegellängsseite (3) gegenüberliegenden zweiten Ziegellängsseite (7) zugewandt und parallel bezüglich dieser zweiten Ziegellängsseite (7) ausgerichtet ist.
Abstract:
An anchoring system for anchoring verge tiles and/or ridge tiles consists of a rail (4) to be fixed to a roof verge or roof ridge, a number of essentially U-shaped clamping elements (3) which can be slidably accommodated in said rail and a projecting rib (2) provided on the underside of each verge tile (1) or ridge tile (14), which rib (2) can be clamped in one of the said clamping elements (3).
Abstract:
There is provided cladding apparatus comprising a body portion (108) having an inner surface (110) and an outer surface (112) extending longitudinally between a leading edge (114) and a trailing edge (116) and transversely between opposed side edges (118). The leading edge (114) is provided with a formation (124) which inter-engages with complementary formation (126) provided on an adjacent body portion thereby permitting the body portions to inter-engage when laid in a longitudinal sequence. The body portion (108) is provided with a pair of longitudinally extending elongate mounting portions (128) on the inner surface (110) thereof. A longitudinal mounting batten (144) is attached to the fascia panel (106) adjacent to the exposed edge of the tiles (104), and into which the elongate mounting portions (128) may slide. A roof batten (132) is laid on the tiles and has on its lower face a plurality of steps which compensate for the overlapping nature of the tiles to provide a level upper face (140) when laid on the tiles (104), the upper face (140) forming a labyrinth with the inner surface (110) to assist in excluding weather in use.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a ventilation system for an attic or rafter space that mimics the appereance of the roofing material and thus has little effect on the appearance of the building. In one aspect primary vents (40, 84) are installed in the roof deck (56, 86) below the roof tiles (91), and the roof tiles (91) are mounted to as to provide air spaces in between them and thus allow air flow (98) from the primary vents (40, 84) to the outside. In another aspect a secondary vent (85, 12) is constructed to look like the surrouding field tiles (91) and is installed over each primary vent (40, 84). One or more vent openings in the secondary vent (12, 85) and an opening in the primary vent (40, 84) conduct air between the attic or rafter space and the outside. The secondary vent (12, 85) has a frame (16) with one or more vent openings and a cap (14) covering each opening shielding the ventilating space.
Abstract:
A verge member (1) for a pitched roof comprises a tapered planar portion (2) and a pair of flanges (5) and (6) defining a channel (7) for capping the edge of a tile. Also provided is a third flange (8). To assist in interlocking of members, and to improve appearance, along the upper edge of the member is provided a longitudinally extending protruding element (14) Element (14) is provided with a tongue (15) at one end, and the other end of the member is provided with a cut-out (21) to assist in interlocking with the tongue. In a roofing system incorporating the verge members, the members are telescopically engaged and cap the complete verge of the roof.
