Abstract: A hail resistant roofing system and method includes a roofing substrate such as a shingle or tile or membrane having an array of exposed upwardly projecting features. The features may rise to sharp points and may have side surfaces that are angled relative to the plane of the roofing substrate. The features are spaced and arranged so that a large hail stone capable of damaging the roofing substrate will always impact one or more of the exposed features. This can break up the hail stone into smaller benign pieces or can redirect the energy and direction of the hail stone so that the impact is absorbed without damage to the roofing substrate.

Abstract: Methods and systems for imparting visual features to a liquid applied roof, such as for forming a residential roof, include using overlapping strips of underlayment, underlayment with varying densities, underlayment with raised features, and underlayment with a gridded surface among others. Visual features also can be imparted by mixing different colors of a liquid applied roofing material, embedding floating particles in a liquid applied roofing material, embedding colored flakes in a liquid applied roofing material or spraying colored flakes onto a liquid applied roof before skinning, creating texture as the liquid applied roofing material is applied, and using stencils or printing techniques to impart visual features.

Abstract: A two component roof coating system and method includes a sufficiently porous fabric attachable to a roof deck. A first component of the two component roof coating may be applied to the fabric after it is attached to the roof. Alternatively, fabric may be pre-soaked with the first component prior to attachment. A second component of the two component roof coating may then be applied to the fabric. The first and second components react with each other to form a waterproof roof coating. The fabric can hold the components in place and prevent sagging.
