A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11927019B2) discloses a roofing system comprising a series of rafters and roofing panels, including a first and second panel secured on opposite sides of at least one rafter. The panels are connected by connectors positioned along the bottom and upper surfaces, ensuring a secure coupling along the rafters. A membrane is placed over the panels to create a water-resistant seal, preventing water migration between adjacent panels. The connectors feature flanges and projections, with some fasteners extending through them and the panels to further strengthen the connection.

Moreover, the roofing panels can be made of various materials such as oriented strand board, laminate panels, wood panels, metal panels, or a combination thereof. Each panel consists of a core, a top layer defining the upper surface, and a bottom layer defining the bottom surface. The membrane includes an overlap portion bonded to the panels, covering seams between adjacent edges to enhance the water-resistant properties of the roofing system. The design of the connectors, with a T-shaped cross-section, ensures a secure fit between the panels, providing structural integrity to the overall roofing system. This patented roofing system offers a reliable and efficient solution for constructing durable roofs with enhanced water resistance capabilities.
