The apparatus of the invention in conjunction with the spraying unit will unroll the fabric, form it to the shape of the existing profile, and embed the fabric in the applied coating. Not only does the method greatly enhance the quality of the installation providing fewer wrinkles and bubbles, but also its construction greatly protects the roof deck against the effects of the environment. The apparatus of the invention requires fewer workers to operate and sequentially organizes every step reducing safety issues.

1. An apparatus for applying a sheet of fabric from a roll of fabric across a surface of a roof deck having a surface profile, the apparatus comprising: a frame including a fabric roll holder supporting said fabric roll; anda mould element structurally coupled to said frame and having a top surface,
1. An apparatus for applying a sheet of fabric from a roll of fabric across a surface of a roof deck having a surface profile, the apparatus comprising: a frame including a fabric roll holder supporting said fabric roll; anda mould element structurally coupled to said frame and having a top surface, a front surface, a rear surface, lateral surfaces and a bottom surface facing said roof deck and longitudinally extending between said front surface and said rear surface of said mould element, wherein the distance between said bottom surface and said roof deck longitudinally decreases from said front surface to said rear surface so that the distance between said front surface and said roof deck is greater than the distance between said rear surface and said roof deck, said mould element being adapted to receive said sheet of fabric from said fabric roll holder at said front surface, wherein said bottom surface gradually applies said sheet of fabric over said roof deck when said frame is moved across said roof deck. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said mould element is positioned inside a mould container having inner width and length greater than the width and length of said mould element allowing said mould element to move inside said mould container. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a detent arrangement allowing a portion of said mould element to hang from said mould container without completely falling out of said mould container. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the contour of said bottom surface is selected to conform to the surface profile of said roof deck. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said mould element comprises a plurality of removable mould blocks positioned side-by-side. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said mould element is positioned inside a mould container. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, further comprising a straightening element coupled to said mould container so that said sheet of fabric is straighten prior to be received at said front surface. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising at least one tension element structurally coupled to said frame to maintain tension on the fabric sheet, wherein said at least one tension element is selectively positioned on said frame so that said fabric sheet makes a turn across said straightening element at an angle of at least 90°. 9. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the distance between said mould container and said roof deck is selectively adjustable. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising at least one tension element structurally coupled to said frame to maintain tension on the fabric sheet. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of wheels structurally coupled to each lateral side of said frame, wherein the distance between the plurality of wheels of each lateral side is selectively adjustable. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an embedding brush positioned behind the rear surface of said mould element, wherein said embedding brush passes over said sheet of fabric as the sheet of fabric leaves the mould element. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising at least one sprayer tip directed towards said roof deck for applying a liquid adhesive to said roof deck, wherein said at least one sprayer tip is structurally coupled to a front side of a second frame. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the horizontal distance between said at least one sprayer tip and said front side of said second frame is selectively adjusted by means of a horizontal adjusting element; the vertical distance between said at least one sprayer tip and said roof deck is selectively adjusted by means of a vertical adjusting element; and the distance between said at least one sprayer tip and a center point of the front side of said second frame is selectively adjusted by means of a central adjusting element. 15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the angle at which said at least one sprayer tip directs said liquid adhesive towards said roof deck is selectively adjusted by means of an angle-adjusting element. 16. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising a plurality of wheels structurally coupled to each lateral side of said second frame, wherein the distance between the plurality of wheels of each lateral side is selectively adjustable. 17. A method for applying a sheet of fabric from a roll of fabric across a surface of a roof deck having a surface profile, the method comprising: placing said sheet of fabric over a profile of said roof deck;positioning an applying apparatus over said sheet of fabric placed over said profile of said roof deck, said applying apparatus having: a frame that includes a fabric roll holder supporting said fabric roll; a mould element structurally coupled to said frame and having a top surface, a front surface, a rear surface, lateral surfaces and a bottom surface having a contour that conforms to the surface profile of said roof deck, said bottom surface facing said roof deck and longitudinally extending between said front surface and said rear surface of said mould element, wherein the distance between said bottom surface and said roof deck longitudinally decreases from said front surface to said rear surface so that the distance between said front surface and said roof deck is greater than the distance between said rear surface and said roof deck; and moving said applying apparatus so that said mould element receives at said front surface said sheet of fabric from said fabric roll holder, wherein said bottom surface gradually applies said sheet of fabric over said profile of said roof deck when said applying apparatus is moved across said roof deck. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising selectively adjusting the distance between a plurality of wheels structurally coupled to each lateral side of said frame so that another profile serves as guiding means when said applying apparatus is moved across said roof deck. 19. The method of claim 17, further comprising selectively adjusting the distance between said roof deck and a mould container having said mould element within. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising positioning said mould element inside said mould container prior to positioning the applying apparatus over said sheet of fabric, wherein said mould element is allowed to move inside said mould container, said mould container has an inner width and length greater than the width and length of said mould element. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the step of positioning said mould element inside said mould container comprises positioning a plurality of removable mould blocks side-by-side. 22. The method of claim 17, further comprising directing at least one sprayer tip structurally coupled to a front side of a second frame towards said roof deck for applying a liquid adhesive to said roof deck. 23. The method of claim 22, further comprising selectively adjusting at least one of: the horizontal distance between said at least one sprayer tip and said front side of said second frame, the vertical distance between said at least one sprayer tip and said roof deck, and selectively adjusting the distance between said at least one sprayer tip and a center point of the front side of said second frame. 24. The method of claim 22, further comprising selectively adjusting the angle at which said at least one sprayer tip directs liquid adhesive towards said roof deck. 25. The method of claim 17, further comprising selectively adjusting the distance between a plurality of wheels structurally coupled to each lateral side of said second frame so that another profile serves as guiding means when said second frame is moved across said roof deck to spray liquid adhesive towards said roof deck. 26. The method of claim 17, further comprising applying liquid adhesive to said roof deck prior to applying said sheet of fabric to said roof deck. 27. The method of claim 17, further comprising applying liquid adhesive to said roof deck after applying said sheet of fabric to said roof deck.
