ABSTRACT:
A roof screen system for securing a roof screen to a roof is provided. The system includes a plurality of mounting units that are secured to the roof by means of cylindrical supports. A weatherproofing assembly is disposed about each support and its base to prevent the roof from leaking, due to mounting of the supports on the roof. The weatherproofing assembly includes a collar that extends around the support to prevent water from flowing down the support and to a base cover that inhibits water from collecting on the base to prevent the roof from leaking. The cylindrical configuration of the support and weatherproofing assembly coact to prevent water and debris from collecting about the support and its base, to aid with maintaining roof integrity and to prevent the roof from leaking. Each mounting unit comprises a plurality of braces affixed in a triangular relationship. The triangular relationship of the braces aids with supporting the roof screen in the presence of extreme natural forces. The braces comprise a strong, lightweight, and weather resistant material to prolong the life expectancy of the invention and to prevent the mounting units from failing in the presence of natural forces, such as wind and earthquakes. The roof screen is provided with a weather resistant coating to enhance the wear resistant properties and aesthetics of the screen during the life thereof.
