Abstract: A method for making an insulating apparatus and an insulating apparatus made from such method having an insulating pad made up of a plurality of layers of metal foil, wherein at least two of the layers are separated from each other such that there are gas spaces between the layers, and a support for supporting at least a portion of the insulating pad and attached to the insulating pad by resistance welding, whereby the plurality of layers of metal foil are compressed around the area of the weld.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a device which, when installed, effectively seals the spaces formed at the junction of a corrugated roofing element and a vertical support structure. A compressible material of fixed height is affixed to a rigid support member, both of which extend the length of the junction of the roof overhang and the vertical support structure. The device is pressed upwards into the junction, compressing the foam into the channels formed by the corrugated roofing element, and the rigid support member is then attached to the vertical support member.

Abstract: A roofing system includes a filler member (12) engaging the under sides of the tiles (3) at the eaves of the roof. The filler member (12) is carried by a strip (13) which is pivotable on a spacer member (4), having ventilation apertures (6), the spacer member (4) being secured to the top of an underlying fascia board (1). The strip (13), which is also effective to support the roofing felt (14), extends inwardly from the spacer member (4) and engages the rafters (2), whereby to locate the filler member (12) at a desired inclination relative to the tiles (3).

Abstract: The invention is an improved awning used on homes, mobile homes, and modular homes, where the area under the awning may be subsequently converted into an additional room. The structure provides a rigid insulating panel between the roofing material panels and the supporting framework to reduce the conduction of temperature extremes and the elimination of condensation on the inside surface of supporting framework.

Abstract: A multi-use metal building comprises a skeleton composed of vertical posts connected to upper and lower horizontal longitudinal girders, thus forming a frame ensuring transverse and longitudinal stability.In the horizontal plane, the skeleton comprises self-supporting metal trough elements modulated to the same width as the posts, with corrugated cross section, these trough elements resting on the upper longitudinal girders of the frame and serving on the one hand as floor support and on the other hand as roof.The vertical walls (posts, upper and lower longitudinal girders, outer skin made of asbestos and inner insulating partition) ensure the vertical stability in both directions.

Abstract: An element for sealing end voids of corrugated roof panels. The element is shaped and sized to correspond to the shape and size of the corrugated panel end void, and comprises a flexible body having a flange thereon. The flange is grooved for mastic application. An alignment prong cooperates with alignment means in a building structural element so that the element is properly oriented in the end void, and stiffening ribs produce the desired amount of rigidity for the element.
