Abstract:
A protected membrane roof system for installation on a roof decking comprising an upper insulation board having an upwardly-facing upper board top surface and an opposite downwardly-facing upper board bottom surface, a ballast material positioned over the upper insulation board, and at least one fastener assembly having a base seated beneath the upper board, a rod extending substantially vertically from the base of sufficient size so as to extend beyond the upper insulation board and the ballast material, and a cap engaged with the rod above the ballast material, whereby the wind uplift resistance of the protected membrane roof system is improved and scour of the ballast material is reduced by effectively anchoring the ballast material to the upper insulation board beneath the ballast material.

Claim (Index 22):
A protected membrane roof system for installation on a roof decking, comprising:\n an upper insulation board having an upwardly-facing upper board top surface and an opposite downwardly-facing upper board bottom surface, the upper insulation board positioned over and in close proximity to the roof decking; a waterproof membrane positioned over and in close proximity to the roof decking beneath and in close proximity to the upper insulation board; at least two lower insulation boards defining at least a first lower insulation board positioned over the waterproof membrane and a second lower insulation board positioned over the first lower insulation board between the first lower insulation board and the upper insulation board; a ballast material positioned over and in close proximity to the upper insulation board; and at least one fastener assembly comprising a base positioned beneath at least the second lower insulation board and configured to restrain the ballast material; whereby the wind uplift resistance of the protected membrane roof system is improved and scour of the ballast material is reduced by effectively anchoring the ballast material beneath at least the upper insulation board and one or more lower insulation board positioned beneath the ballast material, and further whereby the at least one fastener assembly neither penetrates nor attaches to the waterproof membrane as by the waterproof membrane being separated from the base of the fastener assembly by at least the first lower insulation board.
