Patent number: 9212487Abstract: A single layer roofing material having a headlap portion and a tab portion wherein the headlap portion has a color-value gradient or gradation and the tab portion has tabs and openings. The tabs may have a relatively uniform color. Openings between tabs expose the color gradient of the headlap portion when a first sheet of the roofing material is installed over a second sheet on a structure. A plurality of horizontal striations may be used to establish the desired color-value gradient. An illusion of depth or thickness is created when the roofing material is applied to a structure, such as a roof deck. The amount of tone and contrast may be selected to create the desired illusion of depth or thickness. The amount of contrast may be varied depending upon the color selected for each roofing material. The number of horizontal striations and their width may also be varied to provide the desired color-value gradient. Tab color, shape and size may also be varied to enhance the illusion of depth.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2005Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: Elk Premium Building Products, Inc.Inventors: Matti Kiik, Larry Scott Reed, John Richie McCaskill, Jr., Michael Allen McLintock, Michael L.

Patent number: 9021760Abstract: A roofing system comprising laminated roofing shingles having a reduced-width headlap portion and a buttlap portion, wherein the roofing system comprises a plurality of courses, and wherein a trailing edge of a subsequently installed shingle in a course overlaps the leading edge of an adjacent previously installed shingle in the same course. The reduced-width headlap portion of the roofing shingles has a width that is less than the width of the buttlap portion. The roofing shingle comprises a first and a second shingle sheet and the lateral edges of the first shingle sheet are aligned with the lateral edges of the second sheet.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2011Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Building Materials Investment CorporationInventors: Matti Kiik, Larry Scott Reed, John Richie McCaskill, Jr., Michael Allen McLintock, Michael L.

Patent number: 8763339Abstract: An energy saving insulated roofing shingle and related method of manufacturing. One embodiment of the shingle has an insulator attached to, or formed as part of, the interior surface of an outer layer across a portion of the headlap area about equal to the designed exposure surface area of the installed shingle. The insulation reduces the heat absorbed by the shingle and transmitted into the deck that in turn heats the attic space. The disclosed principles reduce the heat load directed into a building from the sun. In addition, the thickness of the insulation under the shingle nailing area may be minimized, thereby allowing for the normal asphalt shingle surfaces to lay against each other. Moreover, to reduce the overall shingle thickness, the insulation could replace all or part of the backsurfacing materials applied to the back of shingles in the location where the insulation is added. Additionally, asphalt applied to the back of the shingle could be reduced to accommodate insulation thickness.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2009Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Building Materials Investment CorporationInventors: Michael L. Bryson, Matti Kiik

Publication number: 20130095293Abstract: Disclosed painted roof coverings and related methods of manufacturing such painted roof coverings that use a color coating over the roof coverings instead of embedded pre-colored rock granules on the exposed surface of the roof coverings. By painting a roof covering with a color coating, any kind of top surfacing material, such as rock, plastic, mineral, man-made, or organic granules, may be used in place of the pre-colored rock granules. In some embodiments, it is desirable to size the top surfacing material to provide adequate UV protection and coverage to the weatherproofing asphalt material located below the top surfacing material. Further, the color of the shingles may be accurately matched between batches of shingles, between manufacturing facilities, and even between manufacturers. In addition, designs may be painted on the surface of the roof covering, which was previously impossible using pre-colored granules.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2011Publication date: April 18, 2013Inventors: Daniel E. Boss, Michael L. Bryson, Stephen A. Buzza, Adem Chich, Dale A. Kelley, Matti Kiik, Paul Richardson, Tommy Rodrigues, James A. Svec, James D. Wells

Patent number: 8389103Abstract: Roofing material consists essentially of a substrate, a hot melt material applied to one side of the substrate, an asphalt material coating the other side of the substrate and roofing granules disposed on said asphalt material coated on the substrate. The hot melt material may be polyethylene, polyethylene-vinyl acetate, polypropylene, polyvinylidene chloride, polyester, nylon and mixtures thereof. The asphalt material may include non-asphaltic filler.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2006Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Elk Premium Building Products, Inc.Inventors: Matti Kiik, Daniel LaVietes, Michael L.

Publication number: 20110265407Abstract: Disclosed herein are an above deck ventilation system for a roof, and related methods of installation, having a ventilation medium sandwiched between a roof deck and a roof covering providing air channels between the roof deck and the roof covering. In one embodiment, a roofing system is provided, and may comprise a roof deck and a roof covering. In addition, the roofing system may comprise a ventilating medium disposed between the roof deck and the roof covering, where the ventilating medium may have a plurality of open air chambers disposed between a top sheet and the bottom sheet and traversing the length of the ventilation medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2010Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: BUILDING MATERIALS INVESTMENT CORPORATIONInventor: Michael L.
