Definitions
- the present invention relates to a roof walkway tile.
- walking on the roof may cause the roofing felt to creep or tear or the asphalt to be punctured, and this in turn could cause the occurrence of leaks in the roof.
- the roof comprises roofing felt, ceramic tiles or corrugated sheets of fibre reinforced materials, walking on the roof may cause the tiles or the sheets to fracture or move relative to one another, again leading to leaks.
- a further proposal has been to provide tiled walkways on the roof, using glass fibre-reinforced, or asbestos or the roof, using glass fibre-reinforced, or asbestos or concrete walkway tiles to form the walkways.
- glass fibre-reinforced tiles are known to be heavy and difficult to cut (because of the glass fibre strands). Moreover, they create dust during laying. Abestos and concrete tiles tend to attract moss, are environmentally unacceptable, and are slippery when wet, especially if moss is on them. Both types of tile are difficult to obtain in colours, very time consuming to lay, and require bitumen plant for laying, which can be a major safety hazard.
- a roof walkway tile which is made from a rubber composition, which has a slip resistant pattern on one of its major faces, and which has at each of its edges means for attaching the tile to another similar tile.
- the tile of the present invention may be made of any rubber composition which is able to withstand being walked on without significantly abrading.
- Many suitable rubber or plastics compositions are known in the art and it will at most be a matter of trial and error experimentation for a skilled person to select a suitable composition.
- the composition may contain reinforcement, fillers and any of the other conventional additives, such as antioxidants, stabilizers and pigments, which are generally used in the art.
- a particularly suitable composition is based on nitrile rubber.
- the tile of the present invention is square, although any other type of rectangular shape may be used.
- the tiles could alternatively, if desired, be hexagonal.
- the slip resistant surface may comprise a raised pattern on the tile surface, for instance a series of concentric arcuate ridges, or may comprise a non-slip material, such as grit, embedded in the surface.
- the means for attaching one tile to another comprises a lug on one tile and a complementary recess on the other tile.
- each tile has one lug and one recess in each of its edges so that it is only necessary to make one sort of tile.
- the tiles could be provided in two sets, one set having lugs only on its edges and the other set having recesses only on its edges.
- the shape of the lug should be such that it prevents as far as possible the lug from coming out of the recess and preferably will be tapered for ease of laying and to allow adhesive penetration into the joint area.
- the lug may be trapezoidal in shape, having its longer parallel side as the outside face of the lug.
- the lug may comprise a circular or rectangular ear connected to the body of the tile by a relatively thick neck. Other shapes for the lugs will readily occur to those skilled in the art.
- the means for attaching the tiles may comprise only recesses in the tiles and the tiles may be provided together with a set of straps having a lug on each end, the lug being adapted for location in the recess in a tile.
- the other major face of the tile has in it a plurality of wells. This will reduce the weight of the tile and also increase its cushioned walking effect.
- a method for providing access on a roof comprising locating a plurality of roof walkway tiles according to the first aspect of the invention attached to one another in a predetermined pattern on a roof, thereby forming a roof walkway.
- the present invention also provides, in a third aspect, a roof having thereon a walkway comprising a plurality of roof walkway tiles according to the first aspect of the present invention.
- a flat roof balcony area of the materials previously used or of a solid concrete types of material may be covered completely with tile to provide a non-slip, decorative surface.
- the walkway may be merely laid on the roof. However, preferably it is secured to the roof to prevent it being lifted by wind and to prevent as far as possible water from penetrating beneath the tiles.
- the roof is an asphalt roof
- the tiles may be set into the asphalt while the asphalt is still adhesive.
- the tiles may be adhered to the roof, whatever material the roof is made from. The presence in the preferred embodiment of the tile of areas at the corners with no wells therein ensures that a good bond can be formed between the tile and the roof.
- a roof walkway made from tiles according to the invention has the advantages that while it is strong enough to support heavy loads, it is also flexible enough, especially in its preferred embodiments, to distribute the loads over the walkway and to accommodate movements of the roof without damaging the roof. Moreover, the walkway will be light, easy to install, and slip-resistant and will have an extended service life. It will also be compatible with any type of roof.
- a generally square roof walkway tile 1 made of a nitrile rubber composition made of a nitrile rubber composition.
- the tile 1 is moulded from the composition using conventional processing techniques.
- the tile 1 has at one end of each side a trapezoidal lug 3, the longer parallel side of which forms the outside face of the lug 3. At the opposite end of each edge is a recess 5 which is also trapezoidal in shape so that it is complementary to the lug 3.
- the lugs 3 and recesses 5 have a smaller depth than the thickness of the tile 1.
- a plurality of blind wells 7 are formed in the lower surface of the tile 1 to reduce its weight and increase its flexibility. However, no wells are formed in the corner areas 9 of the lower surface.
- the upper surface has formed on it a circular pattern of arcuate upstanding rib 11 to provide a slip resistant finish.
- the tile 1 will in production have dimensions of 31.6 cm x 31.6 cm x 1.2 cm, (whereby 10 tiles cover one square meter) (although other sizes can be used without departing from the inventive concept described herein).
- the tile 1 can be used to form a roof walkway as shown in Figure 4.
- a plurality of tiles 1 are located on the roof in an arrangement wherein the lugs 3 at the edges of each tile engage in the complementary recesses 5 in the abutting edges of adjacent tiles whereby the tiles are locked together and can act as a monolithic structure.
- the walkway may be formed merely by laying the structure on the roof. However, preferably the structure is adhered to the roof by applying adhesive to the lower surface of each tile 1, especially in the areas 9. The tiles can then be seated, either individually or as a structure, on or in the roof.
- the adhesive may be used in addition to the use of the asphalt as an adhesive.
- the properties of the tile of the present invention also makes it a highly desirable product for many other uses where a non-slip cushioned floor is required. Three examples of this are for a) outside walkways and landings, b) light duly industrial floor, and c) as a cushioning device placed between heavy machinery and the floor. Other applications where the properties of the tile will be beneficial to the environment can readily be envisaged by the skilled person.
