ABSTRACT:
A molded roof section for use with dwelling units includes a domed main body portion which is arranged with a leading edge, an opposite trailing edge, and two side edges. The leading edge is configured with strengthening ribs and a defined groove while the trailing edge also including strengthening ribs is configured with a tongue such that the leading edge of one roof section may be assembled to the trailing edge of the contiguous roof section by a tongue-in-groove assembly concept. The side edges of said roof section are arranged with downwardly opening channels which are spaced so as to correspond to the spacing between dwelling unit sidewalls. Each roof section is molded of a high-density polymer foam as a homogeneous, unitary member and each roof section may be easily and readily lifted in place and lowered onto the sidewalls such the sidewalls fit into the downwardly opening channels of each section. In order to complete the entire roof for the dwelling, additional molded roof sections are applied, each additional section being assembled to the dwelling in a similar manner. For added strength each roof section is covered with an epoxy coating.
