Abstract: A roof, or the like, composed of a plurality of blocks of relatively rigid insulating material which may be formed of Styrofoam. The relatively rigid blocks of insulating material being so configured that adjacent blocks will mate together forming a sealing means for the roof, or the like, which constitutes, in effect, a hermetic seal to thereby eliminate the possibility of temperature, moisture, etc. from entering between the blocks. The concept also involves the method of laying the plurality of blocks, whereby the sealing between adjacent blocks is aided by what I shall term an "UP" and "DOWN" arrangement of alternate blocks. The medium, which is rigid insulation, is intended to be used to form the insulating blocks will not accept adhesive so that a rubber or plastic sheet may not be caused to adhere to these relatively rigid insulating blocks when laid thereover. This development provides unique means in the nature of a plurality of masonite, plywood, or the like, pads fastened by nailing or screwing to each point of juncture of the corners of four adjacent insulating blocks. The pads will accept adhesive so that a rubber or plastic sheet may be laid thereover and will adhere to the pad's top surfaces of the plurality of blocks. By this unique arrangement, one screw which extends through the deck and through the corners of four insulating blocks will maintain such blocks in proper and desired positions.
