A nail zone region is formed at an overlap of the coated mat and the water impermeable sheet. The nail zone region is marked by a dissimilar material. The nail zone region marked by the dissimilar material is configured to form an area of reduced thickness of the roofing shingle.
- Various objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the various embodiments, when read in light of the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a top view of a roofing shingle according to one embodiment of the invention. -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 3-3 ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a roofing shingle according to an alternate embodiment of the invention. -
FIG. 5 is a different cross-sectional view of the alternate embodiment roofing shingle of the invention. - The roofing shingles of the invention can be laminated or non-laminated (e.g., three-tab) shingles. As known in the roofing industry, non-laminated shingles may be made with or without tabs, and three-tab roofing shingles usually include three tabs in the buttlap portion of the shingle and relatively narrow cutouts between the tabs. Laminated roofing shingles usually include an overlay that extends the entire width of the shingle and includes relatively wide cutouts in the buttlap portion of the shingle, and an underlay positioned below the overlay that extends the width of the buttlap portion under the cutouts and a short distance into the headlap portion of the shingle. Numerous alternate laminate constructions are available, such as full length laminates, trilaminates, and other constructions known to one skilled in the art.
- The buttlap is the portion of the roofing shingle that is exposed when the shingle is installed on a roof, and the headlap is the portion of the roofing shingle that is not exposed when the shingle is installed on a roof because it is covered by the adjacent upper row of shingles. On a laminated roofing shingle or a three-tab roofing shingle, the buttlap portion usually extends about to the inner edge of the cutouts. If the cutouts have different widths, the buttlap portion usually extends about to the inner edge of the cutout(s) with the largest width. The lower edge of the roofing shingle is often referred to as the butt edge while the upper edge of the shingle may be referred to as the head edge.
- As discussed below, a preferred roofing shingle of the invention includes a coated roofing mat and a water impermeable sheet. The term “roofing shingle”, as used herein, includes the sheet attached to the coated roofing mat, and it also includes an assembly of the sheet and the coated roofing mat where the sheet is adjacent to the mat but not attached to it. For example, the sheet may be attached to the roof separately from the coated roofing mat and/or it may be attached to the coated roofing mat when it is installed on the roof. Alternatively, the sheet may be unattached on the roof but held in place by the adjacent upper and lower coated roofing mats or by other means. In an alternative embodiment, the sheet comprises the reinforcement for the wide nail zone, as described in copending application Ser. No. 11/198,522.
- The coated roofing mat includes a roofing mat typically coated with an organic-based coating material. The roofing mat can be any type suitable for reinforcing the roofing shingle, such as a web, scrim or felt of synthetic or natural fibrous materials, including nonwoven or woven mats. The fibrous materials may include, for example, mineral fibers, polymer fibers, carbon fibers, cellulose fibers, rag fibers, or mixtures of these fibers. Suitable mineral fibers may include fibers of a heat-softenable mineral material, such as glass, ceramic, rock, slag, or basalt. In one embodiment, the roofing mat is a nonwoven web of glass fibers.
- The organic-based coating material can be any type suitable for use on a roofing shingle. Typically, the coating material is a bituminous material and/or a polymeric material (e.g., a polymer, a recycled polymer stream or ground tire rubber). Any type of suitable bituminous material can be used, such as asphalt, tar, pitch, or a mixture thereof. By “organic-based” is meant that the organic material forms the continuous phase of the coating material. The coating material usually includes at least about 20% organic material by weight, and often at least about 40%. The coating material can also include various additives and/or modifiers, such as inorganic fillers or mineral stabilizers. In a typical asphalt roofing shingle, the coating material includes asphalt and a filler of finely ground inorganic particulate matter, such as ground limestone, dolomite or silica, in an amount of from about 40% to about 80% by weight of the coating material.
- The water impermeable sheet can be any type suitable for use on a roofing shingle. By “water impermeable” is meant that the sheet forms a barrier that substantially prevents penetration by water through the sheet during normal use of the roofing shingles on a roof. Optionally, the water impermeability of the sheet can be tested by any suitable method, for example, by placing 0.5 liter of water at room temperature over a section of the sheet having an area of 400 cm2, and observing no substantial penetration of the sheet by the water after 24 hours. The sheet can have any thickness suitable for providing the water barrier, although relatively thin sheets are usually preferred for cost and weight reduction. The term “sheet” includes films, membranes, tapes, foils, and the like, usually in substantially continuous form. Alternatively, the “sheet” may be formed on site by extruding a polymer sheet, or by applying a liquid to the surface of the
coated mat 38 by rolling, spraying, or other known processes. - In some embodiments, the sheet is made from a polymer or a metal. Any suitable polymer or mixture of different polymers can be used to make the sheet. For example, the polymer can be a polyolefin such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polybutene, or polyisoprene. Some other examples of polymers that may be suitable include polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester terephthalate, polyester, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, EPDM (terpolymer elastomer made from ethylene-propylene diene monomer), and other polymers and polymer blends known to one skilled in the art. The polymer may be high or low density. A polymer sheet may also include additives to improve the flame retardancy of the sheet, as known to one skilled in the art. Furthermore, the sheet materials can be chemically treated or surface charged to improve properties.
- Any suitable metal or combination of metals can be used to make the sheet. Recycled metals can also be used. Some examples of metals that may be suitable include aluminum and copper.
- Preferably, the sheet is a nonlaminated sheet made from polymer or metal. It is also preferred that the sheet does not have an ionic charge.
- The sheet may also be made from a roofing mat as described above, provided the mat is made sufficiently water impermeable by coating or other means.
- In the embodiments of the invention where the sheet is attached to the coated mat, these materials can be attached together by any suitable means. For example, they can be attached by the use of any suitable type of adhesive. Some examples of adhesives that may be suitable include polymeric hot-melt adhesives and modified asphalt hot-melt adhesives. Alternatively, the sheet and the coated mat can be attached together by mechanical means such as by sewing, stitching, stapling, or by the use of any other suitable fasteners, or may be adhered to the coating material in molten form.
- The roofing shingles of the invention may provide advantages compared to conventional shingles. In one embodiment of the invention, roofing shingles are made in which the headlap portion of a conventional shingle is mostly replaced with the water impermeable sheet. The replacement of most of the headlap portion may provide weight and cost advantages. A reduction in the weight of the shingle could provide freight and installation benefits. Replacing most of the headlap portion of the shingle could increase the capacity of existing shingle manufacturing lines and reduce the amount of raw material brought into a plant.
- Referring now to the drawings,
FIGS. 1-3 illustrate an embodiment of the invention in which most of the headlap portion of a conventional roofing shingle is replaced with the water impermeable sheet. Theroofing shingle 10 includes abuttlap portion 12 with abutt edge 14 and aheadlap portion 16 with ahead edge 18. The roofing shingle includes acoated mat 20 comprising a roofing mat coated with an organic-based coating material. Thecoated mat 20 has a width that extends entirely through thebuttlap portion 12 and preferably does not extend more than 20% into theheadlap portion 16 of the shingle. In some embodiments, thecoated mat 20 does not extend more than 15%, 10% or 5% of the distance into theheadlap portion 16. Theroofing shingle 10 also includes a waterimpermeable sheet 22 adjacent to the coated mat. The term “adjacent”, as used herein, includes overlapping or end-to-end. Either thecoated mat 20 or thesheet 22 can be on top when they overlap. In the illustrated embodiment, thecoated mat 20 and thesheet 22 overlap a short distance into theheadlap portion 16 of the roofing shingle and they are attached together by an adhesive 24. Thesheet 22 has a width that extends from thehead edge 18 through at least 80% of theheadlap portion 16 and does not extend to thebutt edge 14 of the roofing shingle. In some embodiments, thesheet 22 extends through at least 85%, 90% or 95% of theheadlap portion 16. The illustrated roofing shingle is a laminated shingle in which thecoated mat 20 is the underlay, and the shingle further includes an overlay in the form of a secondcoated mat 26 cut in a dragon-tooth pattern. In a laminated shingle, the end of thesheet 22 could alternatively be attached between the overlay and the underlay, although it is usually positioned either above the overlay or below the underlay. Although the figures relate to a laminated roofing shingle, the invention also includes non-laminated roofing shingles as discussed above. - The second
coated mat 26 is adhered to the firstcoated mat 20 using a laminate adhesive as is well known to one skilled in the art. The shingle further includes a sealant, preferably a polymer modified asphalt (PMA) such as described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 4,824,880 to Algrim et al, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety (the '880 patent). A preferred laminate adhesive includes a polymer-modified asphalt, typically including one or more styrene block polymer materials, such as those taught in the sealant of the '880 patent. In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive comprises less than ten percent by weight of polymer material, up to sixty percent or more of a mineral filler, such as limestone or dolomite, and the balance being primarily asphalt, and may include additional other modifiers and such, including for example extender oils, acid treatments and other known modifiers in the asphalt industry. The filler percentage may be more or less, depending on adhesive properties needed, but typically at least about forty percent filler is desirable. For improved economy and adhesion, more preferably, the polymer is less than six percent, and even more preferably about four percent or less. As an adhesive, it is preferable the asphalt has a penetration greater than 8 dmm at 77 F and a softening point greater than 130 F, and more preferably greater than 10 dmm pen. and 150 F SP. - The roofing shingles of the invention can also be characterized in terms of their limited width. The roofing shingles disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,990,779 B2 (Elk) use conventional width shingles but increase the width of the buttlap portion of the shingles. Then an interply material is attached to the head edge of the shingle. For purpose of comparison with the roofing shingles of the invention, if the “shingle” disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,990,779 is considered to be the combination of the roofing shingle and the interply material, the shingle has a greatly increased width compared to conventional shingles. In contrast, the roofing shingles of the invention can replace most of the headlap portion of the shingles with the water impermeable sheet, and therefore the total width of the shingles is not greatly increased compared to conventional shingles, and in some embodiments the total width is the same as conventional shingles.
- Thus, a preferred roofing shingle according to the invention may have a limited width characterized by at least one of the following: (a) the entire roofing shingle (including the coated mat and the water impermeable sheet) has a width of not more than about 17 inches (about 43 cm), and preferably not more than about 15 inches (about 38 cm), (b) the buttlap portion of the roofing shingle has a width of not more than about 7 inches (about 18 cm), and preferably not more than 6 inches (about 15 cm), and (c) the sheet has a width of not more than 8 inches (about 20 cm), and preferably not more than 7 inches (about 18 cm). In some embodiments, the limited width of the roofing shingle is characterized by at least two of (a), (b) and (c), and in some embodiments by all three of (a), (b) and (c). Alternatively, other size shingles, such as larger format shingles, for example the Berkshire® shingle sold by Owens Corning, can be made using the present invention, using proportionally sized buttlap and sheet materials.
- Replacing most of the headlap portion of the roofing shingles with the water impermeable sheet can allow shingles to be made in which the overall weight of the shingles is decreased compared to conventional shingles, in contrast to the roofing shingles disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,990,779 B2 which will be increased in weight. For example, the roofing shingle may have a weight reduction of at least about 25% compared to another roofing shingle that is identical except that it does not include the water impermeable sheet and the coated mat extends the full width of the roofing shingle, and sometimes a weight reduction of at least about 40%.
- While not illustrated in the Figures, the lower portion of the sheet may be printed with lines or other markings to indicate a preferred nail zone for attaching the shingle to the roof. Such a nail zone is described in the '522 application. However, where the sheet covers substantially the entire headlap area, a preferred embodiment provides a nail zone between the bottom of the exposed portion of the film and a line provided on the film parallel to the bottom of the film (or other markings). Accordingly, the sheet provides the function of the reinforcement described and claimed in the '522 application. Alternatively, the film may be located above the nail zone region, and a separate reinforcement applied to the nail zone as described in the '522 application.
- In yet another embodiment as shown in
FIG. 2 , a nail zone may be formed at a portion of the roofing shingle where thecoated mat 20, secondcoated mat 26 andsheet 22 overlap. As shown inFIG. 2 , thebuttlap portion 12 of theroofing shingle 10 can be coated with roofing granules. However, in this embodiment, the nail zone region of thebuttlap portion 12 may be marked by a dissimilar material to indicate the nail zone region. The term “dissimilar material”, as used herein, is defined to mean a material having different characteristics from the roofing granules covering thebuttlap portion 12 of theroofing shingle 10. Examples of dissimilar materials include granules having a different color or surface treatment, or another material, such as for example sand or a lightweight material, or materials having a finer grade than the roofing granules. Use of the dissimilar materials to mark the nail zone region can result in a reduced thickness of theroofing shingle 10 in the nail zone region, and can reduce the weight of the shingle and improve the bundle flatness. -
FIGS. 4-5 illustrate another embodiment of the invention in which the buttlap portion of the roofing shingle is coated with roofing granules, but the use of the water impermeable sheet allows the shingles to be made without roofing granules on at least most of the headlap portion of the shingles. Theroofing shingle 30 includes abuttlap portion 32 with abutt edge 34 and aheadlap portion 36. The roofing shingle includes acoated mat 38 comprising a roofing mat coated with an organic-based coating material. Thecoated mat 38 has a width that extends entirely through thebuttlap 32 andheadlap 36 portions of the roofing shingle. A layer ofroofing granules 40 is adhered to the coating material in thebuttlap portion 32. However, the roofing granules are substantially excluded in a non-granule area having a width that extends through at least most (at least more than 50%, preferably at least more than 80%) of theheadlap portion 36. The roofing shingle also includes the waterimpermeable sheet 42 adjacent to thecoated mat 38. Thesheet 42 has a width that extends entirely through at least the non-granule area and does not extend to thebutt edge 34 of the roofing shingle. Although thesheet 42 is attached above thecoated mat 38 in the embodiment shown, alternatively it could be attached below the coated mat. The illustrated roofing shingle is a laminated shingle in which thecoated mat 38 is the underlay, and the shingle further includes an overlay in the form of a secondcoated mat 44. Optionally, a UV resistant material could be added to the coating in the headlap portion and/or a layer of backdust material could be applied instead of roofing granules in the non-granule area. - In an alternative embodiment, a shingle may comprise a strip shingle, and the second
coated mat 44 would not be present. In such an embodiment, the buttlap portion of thesheet 38 would be covered by granules (similar to that shown in the cutout areas shown inFIG. 5 below the overlay 44). When a strip shingle comprises a tabbed shingle, thesheet 42 must have a color and appearance which is acceptable through the tab cutouts, and should include a UV inhibitor. - In a further embodiment, the invention relates to a roofing shingle including a buttlap portion with a butt edge and a headlap portion. The roofing shingle includes a coated mat comprising a roofing mat coated with an organic-based coating material. The coated mat has a width that extends entirely through the buttlap and headlap portions of the roofing shingle. The roofing shingle also includes a layer of roofing granules adhered to the coating material in the buttlap portion. However, the roofing granules are substantially excluded in a non-granule area having a width that extends through at least most of the headlap portion. The roofing shingle further includes a water impermeable sheet adjacent to the coated mat. The sheet has a width that extends through at least the non-granule area and does not extend to the butt edge of the roofing shingle.
- It is known to include an adhesive material known as a sealant on roofing shingles to seal the shingles together when they are installed on a roof. For example, a typical laminated roofing shingle includes a line of sealant on the back surface of the shingle near the butt edge. When the next upper row of shingles is installed on the roof, the upper shingles cover the headlap portions of the lower shingles, and the sealant causes the back surfaces of the upper shingles to adhere to the top surfaces of the lower shingles. Sealing the shingles together on the roof helps to prevent wind uplift of the shingles. The sealant can be any suitable adhesive material, such as an adhesive made from asphalt, a polymer, or a combination of asphalt and polymer. The sealant can be applied in a discontinuous or continuous manner, and in any suitable configuration, and alternatively may be applied to the upper surface of the shingle to seal to the bottom of the adjacent course of shingles.
- Advantageously, the roofing shingles of the present invention, and the reinforced nail zone shingles disclosed in U.S. Ser. No. 11/198,522, can improve the wind resistance of the shingles by improving the adhesion between the shingles when they are sealed together on the roof. As described above, the shingles of the present invention include a water impermeable sheet, such as a polymer or metallic sheet, in the headlap portion of the shingle. Similarly, the reinforced nail zone shingles include a reinforcement member, typically made from a polymer, adhered to the headlap portion of the shingle. The sheet or the reinforcement member can be positioned on the shingle so that when the next upper row of shingles is installed on the roof, the sealant on the back of an upper shingle comes into contact with the sheet or reinforcement member on the lower shingle. The sealant may adhere better to a polymer or metallic material than to an asphalt-based coating material with roofing granules on a typical roofing shingle, and preferably the sealant comprises a polymer modified asphalt sealant such as those taught in the '880 patent, or a variation thereof. A preferred film for comprises a polymer having good adhesion to a polymer modified asphalt, such as a surface charged PET material. Additionally, the film may be mechanically locked to the coated mat by physical overlap of granules (i.e. the granules are preferably dropped onto the sheet after the film is applied, and the granules are adhered to the molten organic-based coating material, and a number of the granules will extend over the film and mechanically lock the film, as the granule will be adhered to the sheet by the organic-based coating material after solidification) . One skilled in the art will further improve adhesion of the film by applying pressure to the film at application to imbed the film into the coating, as well as the further mechanical interlock of the granules after the granules are pressed into the sheet.
- Thus, another embodiment of the invention relates to a roofing shingle including a buttlap portion and a headlap portion. The roofing shingle includes a coated mat comprising a roofing mat coated with an organic-based coating material. A sealant is applied on a back surface of the coated mat in the buttlap portion of the roofing shingle. A reinforcement member or a water impermeable sheet is attached to the coated mat and forms a top surface of the roofing shingle that is located at least partly in the headlap portion. The sealant and the reinforcement member or the water impermeable sheet are positioned such that when a second identical shingle is laid over the headlap portion of the shingle, the sealant on the back surface of the second shingle comes into contact with the reinforcement member or the water impermeable sheet, thereby creating a strong bond between the shingles. Preferably, the sealant forms a bond with the reinforcement member or the water impermeable sheet that it at least twice as strong at 21° C. as the bond between the sealant and an asphalt-based coating material containing 40% asphalt and 60% ground limestone, and more preferably at least three times as strong. To enhance the bonding, in a preferred embodiment of the invention the sealant is a polymer modified asphalt and/or the reinforcement member or the water impermeable sheet is a polymer film. A specific example of a preferred polymer film is a polyester terephthalate film.
- In addition to the improved wind resistance caused by the improved bonding between the shingles, the invention may also provide other advantages. For example, the sealant may be able to seal faster than a sealant on a conventional roofing shingle, because a sealant to film bond is quicker than a sealant to asphalt/granule bond. Preferably, the sealant is able to seal at least 50% faster. The sealant may also be able to develop a stronger bond at lower temperatures than a sealant on a conventional roofing shingle.
- In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, the principle and mode of operation of this invention have been explained and illustrated in its preferred embodiments. However, it must be understood that this invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically explained and illustrated without departing from its spirit or scope.
