Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of renovation of substantially flat roofs with a bituminous coating.
  • bituminous coating or also referred to as waterproofing system is for protection of residential and commercial buildings from environmental influences, and in particular from rain water.
  • Bitumen is typically a mixed substance made up of organic liquids that are highly sticky, viscous, and waterproof.
  • bitumen typically refers to asphalt like materials, but also to more advanced materials, such as modified bitumen which is mixed with filler components such as polymers. These polymers improve characteristics of the bitumen. For instance atactic polypropylene (APP) gives rigidity and tear resistance whereas styrene-butadiene styrene (SBS), a rubber additive, gives more elastic benefits.
  • APP atactic polypropylene
  • SBS styrene-butadiene styrene
  • Roll roofing is a bitumen product that is typically applied on roofs. To protect it from ultraviolet degradation typically mineral granules are added on top of a felt thereof, which also decreases the fire vulnerability. A thin, transparent film may be added to the base of the felt during manufacturing on all torch-on products. This stops the felt from sticking to itself when rolled up during the packaging process.
  • bituminous coating protects the roof deck from rain before the roofing is installed; it provides an extra weather barrier in case of blowoffs or water penetration through the roofing or flashings; it protects the roofing from any resins that bleed out of the sheathing; etc.
  • bituminous coating has a life time of about 10 years (low grade) to 20-40 years (high grade). At the end, preferably a bit before, the bituminous coating is removed and replaced.
  • JPH07233602 A recites a water resistant board in combination with upper and lower holders.
  • the coping can only be used for new buildings.
  • the coping is not provided with a bituminous receiving section, as the bituminous material is provided underneath the coping (typically element 13 in fig. 27).
  • the coping member extend over a roof edge, being present on both sides thereof; as such clamping action is largely provided by the total coping; it certainly is not provided by a side U-shape form alone, only in combination with a horizontal part.
  • the coping is further no provided on an existing bituminous material, but on a dripping member.
  • a dripping member needs to be provided.
  • the dripping member is attached to an even further element, namely an attaching member.
  • a horizontal section of the coping extends fully over a raised edge of the roof. The construction is considered to be too complex and having limited use in practice.
  • US 2002/178671 A recites an integral, pre-formed edge closure, which has most of the disadvantages mentioned above, fabricated from a non-corrosive, durable material including an anchoring flange for installation to a roof structure, an upper flange, an intermediate panel spanning between the anchoring flange and the upper flange, a cant panel positioned at an acute angle relative to the upper flange to define a cant strip along a length of the edge closure, and a mounting strip above the cant panel for securing the edge closure to a concrete parapet or other adjoining vertical wall on a roof structure.
  • the closure is for example encompassing isolation material of the roof in an open area of depth, which area does not comprise a receiving section for bituminous material.
  • the present invention therefore relates to an improved roof profile for renovation and an improved method making use of said roof profile of renovating a roof with a bituminous coating, which solves one or more of the above problems and drawbacks of the prior art, providing reliable results, without jeopardizing functionality and advantages.
  • the present invention relates to a roof profile according to claim 1 and to a method of renovation of a bituminous coating on a roof according to claim 15.
  • the present roof profile is especially designed to be applied directly and without much effort to an existing roof, the roof still partly having an older bituminous coating or the like.
  • the roof profile may have a standard length, such as 250 cm, 200 cm, 100 cm, etc., a standard height, such as 75 mm and 95 mm, and a standard width.
  • the roof profile is typically made of a readily available, not too expensive, and suitable material, typically of a single material. In view of appearance a metal profile is often considered.
  • the receiving section covers the bituminous coating that remains on the roof at least partially and further receives a freshly applied new bituminous coating. Thereto the receiving section extends at and towards one end of the profile (in a cross-sectional view, see e.g. figs. 1 and 3 , it is extending to an end at the right). As these coating are typically applied using heat, such as by using a burner, the profile is typically of a heat resistant material, such as a metal.
  • the receiving section should be large enough to ensure a waterproof sealing between the present profile and the bituminous coating after application thereof, which sealing should remain intact over the life time of the coating.
  • the present roof profile further has an oblique section for draining rain water and the like under gravitational force.
  • the oblique section is preferably at an upwards angle ⁇ relative to the receiving section (10).
  • a U-shaped part For applying the present profile in a secure manner to the roof a U-shaped part is provided.
  • the U-shaped part extends towards a second end of the profile (in a cross-sectional view, see e.g. figs. 1 and 3 , it is extending to an end at the left).
  • This U-shaped part is typically clamped on a side of the roof in a vertical direction. In addition it may be fastened to the roof and/or to a wall supporting the roof, although this option is less preferred and typically not required.
  • the U-shaped profile provides at least some clamping action, due to its curved nature. In addition to securing the present profile by applying the bituminous coating a robust and durable final structure can be obtained.
  • the present invention relates to a method of renovation of a bituminous coating on a roof.
  • the present roof profile can be applied directly to a side of the roof, without a need for removing a bituminous coating (50) being present at said side of the roof, and thereafter applying a new bituminous coating (60) to the roof, the coating covering a receiving section (10) of the profile.
  • the present method and profile provide an easy and ready to use, and therefore quick, way of renovating a roof, without a risk of damage of a roof edge and the like, and still providing a durable sealing of the roof.
  • the present invention provides a solution to one or more of the above mentioned problems and drawbacks, without jeopardizing beneficial effects.
  • the present invention relates in a first aspect to a roof profile according to claim 1.
  • the present profile is formed from a plate, preferably a single plate.
  • a plate preferably a single plate.
  • Such provides for an easy and cheap way of producing the profile, especially in view of standard plate material that can be used.
  • the production can be simplified even further as only bending of the plate is required, in order to obtain the present profile. It is therefore preferred to use a single plate of adequate length and width, or first obtain adequate sections thereof, such as by cutting.
  • the present profile has a thickness (t) from 1-5 mm, preferably 2-3 mm.
  • t thickness
  • Such a thickness is considered sufficient to provide rigidity, clamping action, and body, especially for the receiving section.
  • the thickness may be in line with standard available plate material, which in view of production costs and simplicity is a further advantage.
  • the present profile is formed from a metal, such as stainless steel, aluminum, steel, or from a thermoset plastic. These materials typically have suitable characteristics.
  • the length (1) is from 20-300 cm, such as from 50-250 cm, e.g. 100 cm, 200 cm, etc.
  • a minimal length considered is 50 cm, from a practical point of view a length is not larger than that can be handled by a single individual.
  • the height (h) is from 5-15 cm, such as 75 mm, 95 mm.
  • the height is typically in line with standard roof edge profiles.
  • the width (w) is from 2-20 cm.
  • the width is typically in line with standard roof edge profiles.
  • a width (w s ) of the support part (31) is from 0.5-2.5 cm, such as 1-2 cm, e.g. 1.5-1.7 cm.
  • the support part can be relatively small.
  • the support part may be at an angle relative to the longer side of the U-shaped part, such as at an angle of 30-60°, e.g. 45°.
  • a width (w o ) of the oblique section (20) is from 10-30 mm, such as 15-25 mm.
  • the oblique section typically has a width in line with standard roof edge profiles.
  • the width (w r ) of the receiving section (10) is from 10-70 mm, such as 20-50 mm, such as 30-40 mm.
  • the oblique section is at an angle ⁇ of 20-80° relative to the receiving section (10), preferably at an angle ⁇ of 30-60°, such as at an angle ⁇ of 40-50°.
  • the angle is preferably large enough to provide sufficient draining action of water under gravitational forces. It is also or in addition preferably such that it can be manufactured without much effort; in view thereof also an angle between the oblique section and an optional bridging section or the U-shaped profile may be taken into account: less bend profiles are preferred.
  • the present profile further comprises a horizontal section (40) between the oblique section and U-shaped part, for bridging an raised roof edge, wherein a width (w h ) of the horizontal section (40) is from 0-60 mm, preferably 5-50mm, such as 10-40 mm, e.g. 20-30 mm.
  • the bridging section may support ease of application of the present profile, provided further clamping action, and may be required in view of an existing roof edge profile.
  • At least one reinforcing element may be provided between the U-shaped part and the oblique part, such as a plate structure.
  • the present profile further comprises an extension element (70).
  • the extension element protects an underlying bituminous coating from environmental influences, reduces risk of improper sealing, and provides a visual target for applying the coating up to said element.
  • the element has a width of 1-20 mm, such as 5-10 mm. It preferably is not too small.
  • extension element and/or the horizontal section and/or the reinforcing element are present the present profile is typically manufactured by casting or the like.
  • the present profile comprises a touch (80).
  • the present profile comprises a reinforcing element 90.
  • the present profile has a cutaway (11) providing an angle of 45° relative to a length 1 at one side of the receiving section. It is noted that the same angle results relative to a width of the receiving section.
  • Said profile is intended for use in an inward corner section of the roof. At the other part of the corner section a symmetrical counter section can be applied. As such also corner sections of a rectangular roof can be covered with a bituminous coating in a simple and effective manner.
  • the oblique section (20) comprises a vertical portion (21) in connection with the horizontal section (40).
  • the vertical portion can e.g. be used to form an uptake element for couple plates, the couple plates connecting adjacent profiles.
  • At least one of the receiving section and oblique section are profiled.
  • a better adherence for e.g. a bituminous coating is provided.
  • Figs. 1a-c shows details of the present profile and application thereof.
  • Fig. 2 shows the application of the present roof profile on a roof segment.
  • Fig. 3 shows an example of the present profile.
