Abstract
Abstract An expanded perlite board insulating system is provided. A planar surface of the perlite board is provided with an integrally attached scorch-resistant layer, and the planar surface is likewise provided with a plurality of surface perforations. An improved bitumen membrane having chopped fibers incorporated in the previously used modified bitumen product is then attached to the planar surface of the perlite board in the conventional manner. Upon being heated by the propane torch, the improved bitumen membrane partially melts and the bitumen material flows into the surface perforations to thereafter harden into plugs. The scorch-resistant layer protects the perlite board during this torch installation process.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A roofing insulatlon system comprising: a perlite board having an outer surface, said outer surface having a plurality of surface perforations formed therein; a scorch-resistant coating formed on and integral with said perforated outer surface; an improved bitumen membrane attached to and received by said outer coated surface, including said plurality of surface perforations, whereby a roofing insulation system having increased structural integrity is provided with the portions of the bitumen material received by the surface perforations increasing the peel-resistance of the insulation system.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
A roofing insulatlon system comprising: a perlite board having an outer surface, said outer surface having a plurality of surface perforations formed therein; a scorch-resistant coating formed on and integral with said perforated outer surface; an improved bitumen membrane attached to and received by said outer coated surface, including said plurality of surface perforations, whereby a roofing insulation system having increased structural integrity is provided with the portions of the bitumen material received by the surface perforations increasing the peel-resistance of the insulation system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
128 words
An expanded perlite insulation system comprising: an expanded perlite board having a first surface and a second surface, said first surface having a plurality of surface perforations and said second surface received by an insulation supporting structure when said perlite insulation system is mounted within a building structure; an outer bitumen membrane received by and attached to said first surface of the expanded perlite board, with a plug of said outer bitumen membrane formed in each of said surface perforations; and a scorch-resistant coating integrally formed on said first surface, said scorch-resistant coating receiving said outer bitumen membrane, whereby the peel-resistance of the outer bitumen membrane with respect to the perlite board is enhanced by the formation of the plurality of bitumen plugs received within the perlite board.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
128 words
