Mounting device for a metal roof
A mounting device or clamp is provided that can be secured to a roof joint without damaging the roof joint. Two roof panels can be joined at a roof joint that extends away from the roof. The clamp has a body with a slot to receive the roof joint. An insert of the clamp is rotatable relative to the body from a first position to a second position. The clamp body can be positioned over the roof joint, and the insert can rotate or pivot from the first position to the second position relative to the body to secure the clamp to the roof joint. In one embodiment, a body of the clamp has a first arm that is concave and the insert has a concave portion to engage the roof joint. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the insert can be connected to the clamp body such that either a first projection or a second projection of the insert faces a roof joint.
ROOFING MEMBRANE WITH IMPACT DETECTION FEATURES
Some embodiments of the present technology may encompass roofing membranes. The roofing membranes may include a waterproof membrane having a top major surface. The roofing membranes may include a first liner having a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface of the first liner may be removably coupled with the top major surface of the waterproof membrane. The first liner may have a first color. The roofing membranes may include a second liner having a top surface and a bottom surface. A bottom surface of the second liner may be coupled with the top surface of the first liner. The second liner may have a second color that is different than the first color.
Leak detection and location system and method
The system of the present invention is used for detecting and locating leaks in a roofing envelope that includes an insulation package. The system includes at least two contacts disposed within the roofing envelope, where at least one contact is active and at least one is passive. The active contact is capable of emitting an electric signal of a known voltage, and the passive contact is capable of reading voltage at the location of the passive contact. All contacts are in electrical communication with a computer.
Roof Monitoring Tools And Methods Of Use
Methods and systems for utilizing a central portal to store a history of roof information for a building with corresponding weather information associated with the building over a period of time. For example, the portal receives benchmark information regarding a roof inspection at a location, monitors weather associated with the location within one or more set weather parameters, displays a condition of the roof in real-time with an associated color-code marker that visually indicates the condition, triggers an alert to users at various levels of security clearance and a notification of a damage inspection based on severe weather reporting at least partially based on the set weather parameters, and stores information from the damage inspection and a determination of roof condition based on the damage inspection of potential roof damage.

ROOFTOP PIPE SUPPORT
A support includes a base and a support structure secured to the base. The support structure is adapted to support a plurality of horizontally extending elongated items. A retainer may be positioned over the elongated items to thereby prevent removal of the elongated items from the support structure. The retainer may be movable to an open position to permit removal of the elongated items.
Steep slope roofing system
Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a roofing system. In some embodiments, the roofing system comprises at least one steep slope roof substrate having a first region. In some embodiments, the first region comprises a plurality of shingles. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of shingles comprises at least one antimicrobial agent. In some embodiments, the at least one steep slope roof substrate also comprises a second region. In some embodiments, the second region comprises an antimicrobial scavenger layer that is configured to receive runoff from the first region of the steep slope roof substrate. In some embodiments, the runoff comprises an initial concentration of at least one antimicrobial agent and water. In some embodiments, the antimicrobial scavenger layer is configured to capture the at least one antimicrobial agent so as to reduce the initial concentration of the at least one antimicrobial agent in the runoff.
Cantilevered objects
A roof curb supported by an upstanding support curb to support various objects including, but not limited to, screens, architectural screens, catwalks, lighting, speakers, security apparatus, cameras, weather indicators, electronic devices, antennae, sound dampening materials, advertising, and security cages. The roof curb includes a top curb portion and two or more spaced, generally horizontal extending support members which then, in turn, support one or more objects such that no portion of the object(s) comes into contact with the underlying roof.
