  • the flashing cap strips are used to interconnect cap sheets at roof surface intersections in the formation of waterproof cap sheet roofing layers; the end lap connector cap sheets are used to connect lengths of cap sheets at the job site; and the corner end lap connector cap sheets are used to connect cap sheets and form flashings at roof corners.
  • Current self-adhered modified bitumen roof systems typically include an uppermost layer of cap sheets and one or more underlying roof system layers.
  • the underlying roof system layer or layers may be: one or more base sheet layers and a roof deck; one or more base sheet layers, one or more insulation layers, and a roof deck; one or more insulation layers and a roof deck; or a roof deck.
  • US2003/203145 relates to self-adhered modified bituminous roofing materials that comprise a modified bitumen compound on the front side and a factory-applied self-adhesive compound on the back side of a reinforcement carrier sheet.
  • the roofing materials can be applied to the upper surface of a roof deck, base sheet underlayment by applying force directly to enhance the bond between the self-adhesive composite and the underlying surface.
  • These current self-adhered roof systems include granule surfaced and smooth surfaced cap sheets that form the topmost layer of the roof systems.
  • One type of current cap sheet includes a reinforcement substrate, such as a fiberglass mat, polyester fiber mat, or a fiberglass/polyester fiber mat, which is encapsulated within top and bottom layers of modified bitumen. The modified bitumen is modified to make the bitumen a self-adhering material.
  • Another type of current cap sheet includes a reinforcement substrate, such as a fiberglass mat, polyester fiber mat, or a fiberglass/polyester fiber mat, which is encapsulated within top and bottom layers of conventionally modified bitumen that is not a self-adhering material.
  • cap sheets are coated with self-adhering materials
  • the self-adhering modified bitumen or the coatings of other self-adhering materials on the bottom major surfaces of these cap sheets are used to self-adhere the cap sheets to underlying roof system layers.

  • the top major surfaces of these base sheets are surfaced with non-adhering materials, such as but not limited to talc, sand, or polymeric film, which remain on the base sheets after installation so that the top major surfaces of these base sheets are not self-adhering surfaces.
  • bitumen to make the bitumen a self-adhering bitumen rather than a conventionally modified bitumen requires: the addition of polymers to the bitumen that are other than the polymers normally used to make a conventional modified bitumen; the addition of conventional polymers to the bitumen in concentrations very different from those normally used to make a conventional modified bitumen; and/or the addition of other vehicles and modifiers to render the bitumen softer and more tacky at application and service temperatures ranging from about 40°F. to about 120°F.
  • the modified self-adhering bitumen used in these cap and base sheets are softer and less resistant to flow (less viscous) when heated or subjected to compressive forces.

  • roof systems made with conventional cap and base sheets typically meet the requirements of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. for a Class A rated roof system.
  • roof systems made with cap and base sheets utilizing the softer, less viscous, self-adhering bitumen are less fire resistant than the roof systems made with conventional cap and base sheets and typically do not achieve a Class A rating.
  • the central field portions of current roofing systems utilizing waterproof self-adhering cap sheets to form the cap sheet layers of the system do not rely on the application of heat by the installer to the overlapping lateral edge portions of successive cap sheets or the application by the installer of secondary adhesives to the overlapping lateral edge portions of the successive cap sheets to form watertight seams between the overlapping lateral edge portions of the successive cap sheets.
  • installers use a flashing procedure that includes the application of heat and/or a secondary adhesive (preferably both) to the overlapped roofing granule coated lateral edge portions of the self-adhering cap sheets of the cap sheet layer to form watertight flashing seams between the successive cap sheets of the layer.
  • This flashing procedure includes a step referred to as the heat sinking of the roofing granules on the overlapped lateral edge portions.
  • installers apply heat with a hot air gun or similar heating tool to the roofing granule coated top lateral edge portions of the cap sheets that are to be overlapped by the lateral edge portions of adjacent cap sheets.
  • the installers apply heat to the roofing granule coated top surfaces of these lateral edge portions and heat these edge portions until the self-adhering bitumen in these lateral edge portions is softened and semi-fluid.
  • the roofing granules coating the top surfaces of these top lateral edge portions are pressed down into the bitumen to the extent practical to form better bonding surfaces for the flashing seams.
  • a secondary adhesive is typically applied between the overlapping lateral edge portions forming the flashing seams between the adjacent cap sheets of the flashings.
  • the end portions (head laps) of the successive lengths of cap sheets are connected together at the job site by heat sinking the granules on the cap sheet end portion to be overlapped and applying a secondary adhesive between the overlapped end portions of the cap sheets to bond the successive lengths of cap sheets together in a manner similar to the formation of flashing seams discussed above.
