Abstract

The present invention relates to a roof mounting system with a locating and waterproofing device (100) which is formed from a water impermeable medium. The device has a short edge (104) which is dimensioned to rest against and be secured to a batten (121) and a long edge (106), whose upper portion rests on an upper surface of the batten (121). A lower portion of the locating and waterproofing device rests on a lower slate or stone (10A) and is sandwiched between the lower slate or stone (10A) and an upper slate or stone (10B) so that a continuous barrier (102) is formed along the long edge (106) to provide a water resistant barrier and to create a void (116) between the lower slate or stone (10A) and the upper slate or stone (10B).

IPC Classes  ?

• E04D 12/00 - Non-structural supports for roofing materials, e.g. battens, boards
• E04D 1/14 - Roofing elements shaped as plain tiles or shingles, i.e. with flat outer surface of slate material, with or without fastening means
