Abstract:
A roof system and related methods for installing the roof system. The roof system includes a roof diaphragm including a nail board and an insulating panel connected to the nail board, wherein the insulating panel is adapted to be positioned between the nail board and a roof frame so that the insulating panel engages the roof frame. In several exemplary embodiments, the nail board comprises one or both of: oriented strand board (OSB) and plywood. In several exemplary embodiments, the insulating panel comprises one or both of: a closed-cell rigid polyisocyanurate (polyiso) foam core and a polystyrene foam core. In several exemplary embodiments, the roof system further includes a plurality of nail board fasteners connecting the roof diaphragm to the roof frame, the nail board fasteners each extending through the nail board, through the insulating panel, and into the roof frame to a depth.

Claim (Index 35):
A method of installing a roof system, the method comprising:\n positioning a roof diaphragm adjacent a roof frame, the roof diaphragm comprising a nail board and an insulating panel bonded to the nail board so that respective surfaces of the insulating panel and the nail board mate against one another, the insulating panel including a foam core; and connecting the roof diaphragm to the roof frame, the roof diaphragm and the roof frame at least partially defining an attic space; wherein the roof frame comprises first and second roof structural members; wherein the insulating panel is positioned between the nail board and each of the first and second roof structural members so that: first and second portions of the foam core are engaged with the first and second roof structural members, respectively; a third portion of the foam core extends between the first and second roof structural members; the third portion of the foam core is exposed to the attic space and is thus visible within the attic space; and the nail board does not engage either the first roof structural member or the second roof structural member.
