  • Self-adhering roll roofing product with tapered selvage edge and method of making
    Publication number: 20040241369
    Abstract: A self-adhesive roll roofing product is configured to form lap joint seams in which a selvage edge portion of one strip of the roofing product is overlapped and bonded to an opposite marginal side edge portion of a next-successive strip of the roofing product. In order to desirably form such a lap joint seam that is resistant to moisture entrapment and blistering, the selvage edge portion of the roofing product is tapered and configured to form a lap joint seam substantially free of void volume and trapped air. A method of making the self-adhesive roll roofing product is also described.
