[0001] The subject of this invention is multi-layered roof module and the way of constructing
roofings from multi-layered roof modules.
[0002] The multi-layered roof slate, known from the Polish patent description No. P.
339973, and the way of making it which involves placing the slates with overlap in order
to create roofing imitating wooden shingles, the roof slates consisting of the upper
and lower part. The lower part has got a row of multi-layered protrusions which have
got the same number of layers and each protrusion is separated from the neighbouring
multi-layered protrusion or protrusions with an interval or intervals and has got
an outer layer and at least two bottom layers located under the outer layer.
[0003] Each bottom layer in laminated with the layer situated above in order to make a multi-layered
laminated composite, which makes an integral part with the upper part, and the outer
part of the highest layer of each protrusion is coplanar with the upper surface of
the upper part.
[0004] Also the way of making the roof out of modular elements and the roofing modular element
applicable in the construction of light roofs in facilities of industrial and general
building, are known from the Polish patent description No. P.
319112. The way involves application of cold bent modular elements made of steel plate,
whereby the next modular element is placed on supports and is fastened in four corners
by affixing the foot of the modular element to the ground. Then the side surfaces
of neighbouring modular elements are joined and the point of joining the elements
from the outside is filled with sealing mass. The surface of the roof is covered by
waterproof covering layer or waterproof covering layer with insulation.
[0005] Also known from the patent description No. P.
357412 is an insulation board made from mineral fibre with stiff surface layer, way of making
it and application of the insulating material for covering roofs and facades, which
means that the invention involves an insulation product made from mineral fibre with
insulation layer from mineral fibre and at least one stiff surface layer, where the
surface layer is mineral material combined with a binder, whereby the average density
of the insulation layer containing mineral fibres and the binder are 50 - 300 kg/m
3 and the average density of the stiff surface cover is at least 450 kg/m
3.
[0006] Also known from the Polish patent No.
184727 is the way of making the thermal insulation boards, intended especially for roofings,
which involves covering a polystyrene foam board with two types of adhesive; polyurethane
and synthetic quick-drying one, whereby the quick-drying adhesive is applied on the
board of a surface smaller than 5% of the surface of the board, then on the board
prepared this way is placed a strip of asphalt tar paper, a little wider than the
width of the board, and then it is pressed down. After that the strip of tar paper
is cut in such a way that the tar paper strips are a little longer than the length
of the board.
[0007] Also known from the Polish patent No. P.
341745 is fire-resistant roof band, roofing system and manner of placing the roofing on the
surface of the roof, intended to be used as the first layer on non-laminated insulation
boards which are sensitive to melting. It contains a bitumen layer, a bearing element
used near the bottom side of the bitumen layer, and on the bottom side of the roof
band a fire-resistant layer of metal foil. The roof band is fastened on the roof mechanically
and covered with a bitumen layer of roofing material which is placed by means of the
burning method.
[0008] Known methods of making roofings involve separate placing of subsequent layers of
a roof, i. e. the thermal insulation layer which consists of one or several layers
of polystyrene foam, different kinds of foam, different kinds of wool, the upper layer
of which may be covered with underlay tar paper and a layer of water insulation consisting
of one or several layers of covering materials, especially tar paper.
[0009] Performing roofing by means of known methods is time-consuming and expensive because
it requires placing all layers of the roof separately in the course of the building
process, i. e. placing and fastening to the base of the roof the thermal insulation
layer, which consists of one or several layers of polystyrene foam, different kinds
of foam, different kinds of wool, the upper layer of which may be covered with underlay
tar paper and a layer of water insulation containing of one or several layers of tar
paper depending on individual requirements for making the roofing. It should be noted
that each layer of the tar paper, in the known methods, except for the layer of underlay
tar paper which may cover the upper surface of the thermal insulation layer, is placed
separately by means of hot-stamping, mechanical fastening or both methods together.
[0010] The essence of the invention rests in simplifying the roofing construction by creating
ready-made multi-layered roofing elements whose position in relation to each other
on the prepared base and their interconnection allows to obtain roofing which ensures
full thermal and water insulation. The full thermal and water insulation are provided
on the stage of manufacturing the ready-made modular elements because all layers which
comprise a given module are joined together in a manufacturing plant which guarantees
perfect fitting of the neighbouring thermal and water insulation layers. The essence
of the invention is also reflected in the fact of eliminating many performance mistakes,
which are frequently present as a result of making a roof by means of the traditional
method, and the possibility of making the roofing by less experienced workers. As
ready-made multi-layered modular elements they may be easily supplied to a building
site, especially in the case of roof constructions with large inclination or/and multi
hipped constructions, and they are suitable both in the case of making new roofings
and in renovating old ones. The ready-made multi-layered roofing modules consist of
a thermal insulation layer, in particular polystyrene foam boards, different kinds
of foam and mineral wool and a water insulation layer which comprise one or more layers
of tar paper or one or several layers of covering materials for which bitumen was
used.
[0011] The multi-layered roofing module, according to the invention, consists of a thermal
insulation layer, in particular of a polystyrene foam board or/and a mineral wool
board or/and different types of wool and foam whose upper plate is covered evenly
with bituminous mass by means of e. g. combs. On such a surface prepared this way
is put a water insulation covering layer, in the form of underlay tar paper, which
is joined with the thermal insulation board by means of press rollers. The press rollers
apply appropriate pressure and allow to join the thermal insulation layer with the
water covering layer precisely and tightly, eliminating all air bubbles caught between
the neighbouring layers. Then, on the element prepared this way there is put once
again the bituminous mass which is covered with the second water insulation layer
in the form of the underlay tar paper, and all that is joined by means of press rollers.
Then on the underlay tar paper layer there is put again the bituminous mass which
is covered with the third water insulation layer in the form of weldable tar paper
of outer covering, and all that is joined by means of press rollers creating a multi-layered
roofing module. Using the press rollers several times allows to obtain a multi-layered
roofing module whose layers are joined tightly and inseparably and are deprived of
air bubbles. The water insulation covering layer applied in the multi-layered roofing
module on the basis of the invention, in particular in the form of underlay tar paper,
is wider and longer than the thermal insulation board. The subsequent water insulation
layers applied in the multi-layered roofing module on the basis of the invention,
in particular in the form of underlay tar paper and weldable tar paper of outer covering,
are joined with each other and with the water insulation covering layer with an appropriate
shift so that they create a system of overlaps. According to the invention the multi-layered
roofing module may consist only of two water insulation layers in the form of the
water insulation covering layer, in particular in the form of underlay tar paper and
water insulation layer, in particular in the form of weldable tar paper of outer covering.
[0012] Making roofing out of the multi-layered roofing modules fastened to the base by means
of mechanical fasteners or/and adhesives allowed to be used in the building industry,
according to the invention involves putting the multi-layered roofing modules on the
roof surface in such a way that the multi-layered roofing modules with a system of
overlaps joined with the system of overlaps of the other multi-layered roofing modules
overlap creating a tight lock and a tight roofing surface. According to the invention
making roofing out of the multi-layered roofing modules involves joining the overlaps
by means of welding them, in particular by applying high temperature.
[0013] In the multi-layered roofing module, which consists of thermal and water insulation
layers, according to the invention, the upper plane of the thermal insulation board
(1), in particular a board of polystyrene foam or/and mineral wool or/and different
types of wool and foam, is evenly covered with bituminous mass, on which there is
put water insulation covering layer (2), in particular in the form of underlay tar
paper (1), which is joined with the thermal insulation board by means of press rollers,
and then on the thermal insulation covering layer (2) in the form of underlay tar
paper there is put the bituminous mass on which the second water insulation layer
(3) is placed, in particular in the form of underlay tar paper, and all that is joined
by means of press rollers, and then on the layer of the underlay tar paper (3) there
is put bituminous mass on which the third water insulation layer (4) is placed, in
particular in the form of weldable tar paper of outer covering and all that is joined
by means of press rollers creating the multi-layered roofing module.
[0014] According to the invention the essence of the multi-layered roofing module is that
the water insulation covering layer, in particular in the form of underlay tar paper
(1), joined with the thermal insulation board (2), is wider and longer than the thermal
insulation board (1). According to the invention the essence of the multi-layered
roofing module is that subsequent water insulation layers, in particular in the form
of underlay tar paper (3) and layers of the weldable tar paper of outer covering (4),
are joined with each other and the water insulation covering layer (2) with an appropriate
shift so that they create a system of overlaps.
[0015] According to the invention the essence of the multi-layered roofing module is that
is consists only of two water insulation layers in the form of water insulation covering
layer (2), in particular in the form of underlay tar paper, and the water insulation
layer (4), in particular in the form of the weldable tar paper of outer covering.
[0016] Making roofing out of multi-layered roofing modules fastened to the base by means
of mechanical fasteners (5) or/and adhesives allowed to be used in the building industry,
according to the invention, involves putting the multi-layered roofing modules on
the roof surface in such a way that the multi-layered roofing modules with a system
of overlaps joined with the system of overlaps of the other multi-layered roofing
modules overlap creating a tight lock and a tight roofing surface. According to the
invention making roofing out of the multi-layered roofing modules involves joining
the overlaps by means of welding them, in particular by applying high temperature.
[0017] The invention is presented on the example of making it, in the drawings where:
Drawing 1/4 depicts the multi-layered roofing module in the top plan,
Drawing 2/4 depicts the side view of the multi-layered roofing module,
Drawing 3/4 depicts the side view of the way of making the roofing,
Drawing 4/4 depicts the way of making the roofing in the top plan.
[0018] The multi-layered roofing module and way of making the roofing out of the multi-layered
roofing modules according to the invention are marked by:
- simplification of the roofing construction by creating ready-made multi-layered roofing
elements whose position in relation to each other on the prepared base and their interconnection
allows to obtain roofing which ensures full thermal and water insulation,
