  • Prefabricated shingle panels
    Patent number: 4102107
    Abstract: A shingle panel includes a backing board underlying and secured to the tips of shingles laid in a row to form a course. The lengths of the shingles, extending transversely of the length of the backing board, are more than twice the width of the backing board so that the butts of the shingles overhang the backing board a distance greater than the backing board width. The panels are assembled in successive courses in substantially coplanar relationship with the backing boards in edge abutment to form continuous sheathing, and the shingles will be disposed in the overlapping relationship of a conventional roof or side wall. The exposure width of the shingles is established by the width of the backing boards.
