Abstract: A ridge vent panel configured for installation over a peak of a roof comprises two longitudinal edges; two lateral sides; a ridge vent interior section bounded by the two longitudinal edges and the two lateral sides; two longitudinal series of vent openings provided along and proximate the respective two longitudinal edges; and a ridge cap supporting section. The ridge cap supporting section is provided in the ridge vent interior section between the two longitudinal series of vent openings, the ridge cap supporting section. The ridge cap supporting section comprises a ridge cap supporting section central region provided between two ridge cap supporting section edge regions. On average the ridge cap supporting section central region has a smaller thickness than the two ridge cap supporting section edge regions.

Abstract: A roofing shingle (20) comprises a web (22) of roofing material configured with a first series of sealant material sites (60) and a second series of sealant material sites (62) provided on the roofing shingle (20). The web (22) of roofing material is configured with a length dimension (L) and a width dimension (W). The sealant material sites 60 of the first series are provided along a first axis (66) which is essentially parallel to the length dimension of the web. The sealant material sites (60) of the first series are discontinuous along the first axis (66) and separated from one another along the first axis by a first interval (70). The sealant material sites of the second series (62) are provided along a second axis (68) which is essentially parallel to the length dimension of the web and spaced apart from the first axis (66) with respect to the width dimension.
