Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a preventative roofing system. More specifically, a roofing system which prevents damage to roofs, eaves, and the structures below caused by ice backing.
  • the present invention relates to inhibiting and preventing ice backing, the process by which ice grows upward from an existing ice dam and works its way into the gap between the fascia and upper surface or sheathing of the roof, or underneath the roof eaves, shingles/tiles, and fascia of roofs, causing them to separate and crack.
  • ice melt water begins to seep underneath the protective outer layers of the roof. Consequently, once temperatures reach freezing again, the ice continues to grow into the cracks it formed causing water damage, leaks and mold. This process can repeat daily, or several times a day, depending on the weather conditions and/or sun exposure to the roof.
  • the existing products while intended towards the prevention of ice formation, they are not intended to protect damage resultant from ice buildup and ice backing.
  • an Ice Backing Flashing system (hereinafter, the “IBF system”) which is comprised of an IBF layer to prevent ice backflow, the process where ice grows underneath the eaves and into the underside of the roof.
  • IBF system effectively eliminates the ability for ice to work its way back into the roof through the shingles/tiles, eaves and fascia.
  • the IBF layer includes an upper portion attachable to an upper surface or sheathing of a roof, a lower portion attachable to a fascia portion of the roof, and a bend between the upper and lower portions attachable over an edge of the roof.
  • the IBF layer may be provided by itself or layered together with a plurality of underlayment layers.
  • a roofing system is provided including a first underlayment layer and the IBF layer adjacent to and above the first underlayment layer, the ice back flashing layer including an upper portion attachable to an upper surface of a roof, a lower portion attachable to a fascia portion of the roof, and a bend between the upper and lower portions attachable over an edge of the roof.
  • the system includes a second underlayment layer adjacent to and above the upper portion of the ice back flashing layer, a drip edge layer adjacent to and above the second underlayment layer, and/or a third underlayment layer adjacent to and above the drip edge.
  • an adhesive underlayment is already attached to the IBF layer, thereby simplifying installation of the roofing system.
  • the adhesive underlayment is separate from the IBF layer, providing more flexibility and control in the installation process and choice of materials.
  • the underlayment layers are heat resistant and can withstand various weather conditions/the changing seasons, otherwise the underlayment layers are prone to melting in the heat and cracking in the cold.
  • the upper portion of the ice backing flashing layer has at least one fold defining an edge extending at least partially toward the bend between the upper and lower portions.
  • the fold or folds provide additional ice protection and, in some embodiments, may engage or interlock with other layers of the system.
  • the fold may be positioned at a top distal end of the upper portion or one or a plurality of folds may be positioned between the top distal end and the bend between the upper and lower portions.
  • the bend between the upper and lower portions includes a first bend and a second bend forming a nose portion extending at least partially away from the roof.
  • the system includes a gutter secured to the lower portion of the ice backing flashing layer.
  • the lower portion of the ice backing flashing layer may extend below the gutter.
  • the lower portion of the ice backing flashing layer includes a lip extending outward from the fascia portion of the roof below the gutter.
  • a method of preventing ice backing including the steps of securing a first underlayment layer to an upper surface of a roof, and securing an ice backing flashing layer to the roof adjacent to and above the first underlayment layer, the ice backing flashing layer including an upper portion, a lower portion, and a bend between the upper and lower portions, wherein the upper portion is secured to the upper surface of the roof and the lower portion is secured to a fascia portion of the roof.
  • the method includes securing a second underlayment layer adjacent to and above the upper portion of the ice backing flashing layer, securing a drip edge layer adjacent to and above the second underlayment layer, and/or securing a third underlayment layer adjacent to and above the drip edge.
