Roof structure and method for making the same
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein is a foam material upwardly adjacent and in air sealing contact with a roof deck, an insulation layer upwardly adjacent the foam material, and additional foam material upwardly adjacent the insulation layer. Further disclosed herein is a method for creating a roof system including air sealing a roof deck with a foam material, adhering insulation material to the foam material, and applying additional foam material upwardly adjacent the insulation layer.
1. A method for creating a roof system comprising:
air sealing a roof deck with a foam material, said foam material being a rise and cure foam;
adhering insulation material directly to the foam material via a curing of said foam material, said insulation material being disposed upwardly of said foam material;
and adhering an additional foam material to the insulation material via a curing of said additional foam material, said additional foam material being of a different material than said foam material, wherein said additional foam material being a rise and cure foam that rises and cures at a faster rate than said foam material, and said additional foam material being disposed upwardly of the insulation layer;
creating a space at perimeters and through roof penetrations with at least one insulation board, said foam material filling said space to create an air seal block of horizontal air flow into the roof system, wherein said additional foam material is disposed in contact with said foam material at said space around said perimeter of the roof system.
2. A method for creating a roof system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the method further comprises applying a reinforcing material at the additional foam material.
3. A method for creating a roof system as claimed in claim 1 wherein applying the additional foam material occurs in stages by applying more than one layer of additional foam material.
4. A method for creating a roof system as claimed in claim 3 wherein the applying reinforcing material is applying the reinforcing material between layers of the foam material.
5. A method for creating a roof system as claimed in claim 2 wherein the method includes applying a roof waterproofing membrane upwardly adjacent the additional foam material.
6. A method for creating a roof system as claimed in claim 5 wherein said applying a membrane is loose laying the membrane.
7. A method for creating a roof system as claimed in claim 5 wherein said applying a membrane is totally adhering the membrane.
8. A method for creating a roof system as claimed in claim 5 wherein said applying a membrane is mechanically attaching the membrane.
