Fireproof seamless foam panel roofing system
View Patent ↗A crush resistant seamless roofing system is formed by a layer of adjacent panels having loose joints filled by expanding rising foam adhesive, which is trimmed to remove excess foam adhesive above a top plane of the roofing system. The roofing system thus formed is covered by a fabric layer and a coating. Further, the seamless roofing system is combined with a base layer, located beneath the panels, the base layer comprising bonded panels of a lightweight fireproofing material, resistant to moisture and foot traffic.
1. A method of installing fire resistant roofing tiles comprising:
a) spraying a foam rising adhesive on a surface;
b) waiting for said foam rising adhesive to obtain a creamy consistency;
c) applying a first tile panel and an adjacent first subsequent tile panel to said surface; each said tile panel having a respective fire resistant layer adhered thereto;
d) waiting for said adhesive to cure and rise within a joint formed between said first tile panel and said first subsequent tile panel;
e) applying further tile panel and subsequent further tile panel to said surface;
f) waiting for said adhesive to cure and rise within further joints formed between said first subsequent tile and said further tile panel;
g) repeating steps “c”, “d” and “e” and “f” on next subsequent pairs of tile panels until said foam adhesive completes rising between said joints and accumulates as debris above a plane formed by said tile panels accumulated in a seamless configuration;
h) removing debris formed by said foam rising adhesive from the top surface of said tile panels; and,
i) applying an elastomeric coat to the top surface of said joined, seamless accumulation of tile panels.
2. The method of installing roofing tiles according to claim 1 , wherein said elastomer is an acrylic.
3. The method of installing roofing tile panels according to claim 2 , wherein application of said first and said subsequent tile panels further comprises:
applying said first tile panel having a first length; and
applying said second tile panel having a second length,
wherein said second length of said second tile panel is different than said first length of said first tile panel.
4. The method of installing roofing tiles according to claim 1 , wherein said elastomer is a urethane.
5. The method of installing roofing tiles according to claim 1 , wherein said elastomer is silicone based.
