The second fold region is positioned between the first and third fold regions. A first perforation line is positioned between the second and third fold regions. A second perforation line is positioned between the first and second fold regions. A reinforcement material is positioned over the first perforation line and configured to reinforce the first perforation line. The reinforcement material includes apertures configured to allow an asphalt coating to bleed through the reinforcement material. The first and second perforation lines facilitate folding of the first and second fold regions on top of the third region to form a three layered stack. | 08-26-2010 |
20100239807 | FLEXIBLE LAMINATED HIP AND RIDGE SHINGLE - A laminated asphalt shingle including a base layer, a first decorative layer, and a second decorative layer is provided. The first decorative layer may be affixed to the base layer and to the second decorative layer by a flexible adhesive that permits the first decorative layer to move relative to both the base layer and the second decorative layer without de-bonding. The relative movement of the shingle layers permits the shingle to be folded over the ridge line of a roof without de-bonding or breaking the layers. Additionally, the relative movement of the layers when the shingle is installed over a ridge creates opposing transverse edges in which each layer is offset from the other layers as a result of the shingle bending about a different radius of curvature, thereby providing a dimensional appearance along the transverse edges. | 09-23-2010 |
20110005158 | HIP AND RIDGE ROOFING MATERIAL - A shingle blank comprises a substrate coated with an asphalt coating and having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface configured to include a first prime region and a second prime region. The first prime region is substantially covered by prime granules having a first overall visual effect and the second prime region is substantially covered by prime granules having a second overall visual effect different from the first overall visual effect. The shingle blank is capable of being divided into individual cap shingles that can be applied to a roof ridge or hip, with the cap shingles including both the first and second prime regions, thereby enabling the cap shingles to be installed in an overlapping manner on the hip or ridge with either the first or the second prime colors being exposed. | 01-13-2011 |
20110104461 | UNDERLAYMENT WITH SLIP-RESISTANT SURFACE - A roofing underlayment comprising an asphalt-coated fibrous sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface is provided. A first portion of the upper surface has granules adhered thereto. A slip-resistant member is bonded to a second portion of the upper surface, an upper surface of the slip-resistant member having substantially no granules adhered thereto. | 05-05-2011 |
20110151170 | HIP AND RIDGE ROOFING MATERIAL - A shingle blank comprises an asphalt coated mat having a cut line formed in the asphalt coated mat. The cut line includes a continuous cut portion and a perforated portion. The perforated portion is structured and configured to facilitate separation of the shingle blank into discrete portions. | 06-23-2011 |
20110214378 | HIP AND RIDGE ROOFING SHINGLE - Shingle blanks are provided. The shingle blanks include an underlay portion having a substrate coated with an asphalt coating and granules, the underlay portion having an upper edge and a lower edge. An overlay portion is adhered to the underlay portion, the overlay portion having a plurality of continuous layered segments, the layered segments having a sealant bead therebetween. A plurality of perforation lines extend in a substantially perpendicular direction from the upper edge to the lower edge of the underlay portion. The plurality of perforation lines are sufficient to facilitate separation of the shingle blank to form hip and ridge roofing shingles configured for application across a ridge or hip. | 09-08-2011 |
20110302852 | CAP SHINGLE INSTALLATION ON A ROOF RIDGE - A method of attaching a cap shingle on a roof ridge line structure includes providing a plurality of risers configured to be flexed for alignment with the opposed roof planes, flexing and positioning the risers over the ridge line structure, and installing a series of the risers in an partially overlapping manner along the ridge line structure by fastening the risers to opposed roof planes.

Each manifold has a plurality of apertures and is configured to receive flows of air from the manifold adapter and channel the flows of air through the apertures. A plurality of exhaust vents is in fluid communication with the flows of air from the apertures. The ventilation system is configured to allow flows of air exiting the apertures to circulate within the attic and exit through the exhaust vents. | 07-25-2013 |
20130239506 | MULTI-LAYERED SHINGLE - A multi-layered shingle includes an underlay sheet having a longitudinally extending axis and a leading edge. The underlay sheet further defines a first layer and a second layer. The second layer is connected to the first layer along a first longitudinally extending fold line and folded against the first layer. An overlay sheet is bonded to the underlay sheet, and the first and second layers of the underlay sheet define multiple layers of a multi-layered shingle. | 09-19-2013 |
