Twin membrane, self sealing, mechanically fastened insulated roof deck system

Claim 1

In combination with a roof deck, a roof structure comprising: a. a plurality of abutting rectangular panels, each panel comprising: 1. a rigid rectangular fire resistant substrate having an upper and lower surface and having fastened on the upper surface and generally centered thereon; 2. a substantially rigid core of insulation comprising a synthetic organic polymer closed cell foam, having an upper surface; 3. said core being of similar geometrical shape but somewhat smaller in size than the substrate, so that the edge of the substrate extends beyond the edge of the core and forms an overlap; b. said rectangular panel being capable of being bound on all of its sides by abutting like panels and wherein said panels are so bounded in the roof structure except at the perimeters thereof; c. the abutting edges of the substrates and the adjacent core edges forming channels or slots; d. washer means for fastening the panels to the roof deck extending over two adjacent substrate overlaps and attachment means passing through the washer means into the roof deck to fasten the roof structure thereto; e. said channels being filled with joint sealer means comprising polyurethane foam which joins the adjacent panels together; and f. tough, weather resistant membrane means covering the roof structure and bonded thereto, said membrane means being bonded to the upper surface of each of the panel cores and the joint sealers.
