SECOND LAYER ROOFING DRIP EDGE WITH PROTRUDING EDGE
Hereby is disclosed a second layer roofing drip edge with a protruding edge. The drip edge covers an existing drip edge and shingles at the eave and rake prior to the installation of the next roofing system. The protruding edge may be notched on one section and not the other section as they abut. The protruding edge bottom fold or bottom face of the drip edge may be fabricated with a groove or projection preventing capillary action of water across the plane and dropping behind the gutter.
Thermoplastic flashing laminate
A flashing laminate includes a thermoplastic sheet having a bottom surface, a first longitudinal edge, and a second longitudinal edge, the flashing laminate includes an adhesive layer on a longitudinally extending portion of the bottom surface adjacent to one of the longitudinal edges, and a release liner positioned over the adhesive tape.

ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE INSULATING CONSTRUCTION BLOCKS AND STRUCTURES
Environmentally responsible insulating construction blocks and structures constructed primarily of recycled materials are disclosed. The environmentally friendly construction blocks and structures comprise shredded rubber tire pieces coated with silica fume, slag cement and cement, which are then mixed with water and formed in a mold. A layer of grout or a fireproof material may be disposed on one side of the environmentally responsible insulating construction block. The environmentally responsible insulating construction blocks provide high insulation as well as strength for applications such as green roofing, wall construction and green roofing decks. Environmentally friendly structures can be built by pouring the coated shredded rubber tire pieces into molds to form walls, and then to pour a layer of the coated shredded rubber tire pieces as a roof deck, thereby creating a self-supporting structure in a monolithic pour.
Roofing Method and Apparatus
In an embodiment, a method includes applying a liquid plural component polymer to a sloped roof to form a protective surface that inhibits moisture seepage to the roof sheathing. In some embodiments, the plural component polymer may be a polyurea compound having a hardening time that is less than approximately 10 minutes. In some embodiments, one or more of the components may be aerated prior to application to the roof substrate. In some embodiments, one or more polystyrene panels may be affixed to the sloped roof prior to application of the liquid plural component polymer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

METHOD FOR CONNECTING AN EDGE METAL FLASHING TO A ROOFING MEMBRANE
A method for installing a cover strip between a roofing membrane and an edge metal flashing positioned over a portion of the roofing membrane, includes using a cover strip or a self-adhering cover strip to bridge a joint formed between the edge metal flashing and the roofing membrane. One end of the cover strip is indirectly or directly bonded to the edge metal flashing by using an adhesive whereas the other end is heat-welded or adhesively bonded to the roofing membrane.

Attachment of roof edge elements
A roof edge mounting bracket preferably includes a base member and a vertical attachment flange. The base member extends outward in a horizontal orientation from the vertical attachment flange. A lower portion of the vertical attachment flange extends below the base member and an upper portion of the vertical attachment flange extends above the base member. The roof edge bracket has a plurality of variations. A canted fascia with roof edge bracket preferably includes an anchor bar, a roof edge bracket, an S-clip, a water dam and a fascia cover. A vertical member of the roof edge bracket and a vertical portion of the water dam are retained in the S-clip. A horizontal portion of the roof edge bracket is secured to a top of a wall. A lengthwise base member of the anchor bar is attached to the vertical portion of the roof edge bracket.
Flashing system for anchoring flexible roofing membranes and its associated method of installation
A system and method of anchoring a roofing membrane to a vertical wall along the periphery of a flat roof. The roof membrane is partially extended up any peripheral wall that abuts the flat roof. A mounting plate is affixed to the peripheral wall with mechanical fasteners. A portion of the roofing membrane becomes locked between the mounting plate and the peripheral wall. A tubular structure is provided on the mounting plate that faces away from the roofing membrane. A cover plate is provided. The cover plate is mounted to the tubular structure on the mounting plate. The cover plate covers and protects the mounting plate and the edge of the roofing membrane under the mounting plate. The cover plate is attached with mechanical fasteners. The tubular structure provides room for the mechanical fasteners to terminate without compromising the mounting plate that is pressed against the roofing membrane.
