The system includes a first curable elastomeric layer, a polymeric mesh disposed on the first curable elastomeric layer, a second curable elastomeric layer disposed on the polymeric mesh, at least one insulated door disposed in one wall, at least one drive up window disposed in one wall and a framed flooring comprising a curable elastomer.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A small format retail business building comprising:
a. a modular enclosure comprising at least four insulated walls, an insulated roof disposed over the walls, and a facade located parallel to each wall and adhered to the roof, wherein the roof is adapted to support at least about 20 pounds per square foot, wherein the roof and the walls are encapsulated with an elastomeric multilayer system comprising:
i. a first curable elastomeric layer;
ii. a polymeric mesh disposed on the first curable elastomeric layer;
iii. a second curable elastomeric layer disposed on the polymeric mesh; and
b. at least one insulated door disposed in one wall; c. at least one drive-thru window disposed in one wall; d. a framed flooring comprising pressure treated wood floor joists covered with pressure treated plywood comprising a curable elastomer, wherein the framed flooring is adapted to support at least 100 pounds per square foot; e. at least four anchors attached to the modular enclosure, wherein the anchors adapted to support the building from seismic shock; and wherein the building is adapted to withstand wind loads of at least about 140 mph, and wherein the building comprises a minimum solid bearing pressure of 2000 pounds per square foot.
2 . The building of claim 1 , further comprising an overhang framing the drive-thru window.

4 . The building of claim 3 , wherein the communication frequencies comprise a digital wireless link to the internet, a server link from a first location to the building, a radio frequency or combinations thereof.
5 . The building of claim 3 , wherein the closed cell rigid polymer is styrofoam.
6 . The building of claim 1 , further comprising equipment disposed on the roof, wherein the equipment is selected from the group consisting of air conditioning equipment, heating equipment, a satellite dish, a long range wireless antennae, and combinations thereof.
7 . The building of claim 1 , further comprising at least one self service area located inside or adjunct outside the enclosure.
8 . The building of claim 1 , further comprising a fabricated ADA bathroom located within the enclosure.
9 . The building of claim 1 , further comprising a kitchen area.
10 . The building of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric mesh comprises a polyester woven mesh.
11 . The building of claim 1 , wherein the facade is connected to the roof using an adhesive, wherein the adhesive is a water-proof anaerobic adhesive.
12 . The building of claim 1 , wherein each facade comprises a thickness ranging from about 20 inches to about 26 inches.
13 . The building of claim 1 , wherein the framed flooring further comprises insulation disposed below the plywood.
14 . The building of claim 15 , wherein the insulation is a fiberglass insulation.
15 . The building of claim 1 , wherein the anchors adapted to support the building from seismic shock corresponding to 2005 California seismic zone number 4.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
