Flexible laminated hip and ridge shingle

摘要

A laminated asphalt shingle including a base layer, a first decorative layer, and a second decorative layer is provided. The first decorative layer may be affixed to the base layer and to the second decorative layer by a flexible adhesive that permits the first decorative layer to move relative to both the base layer and the second decorative layer without de-bonding. The relative movement of the shingle layers permits the shingle to be folded over the ridge line of a roof without de-bonding or breaking the layers. Additionally, the relative movement of the layers when the shingle is installed over a ridge creates opposing transverse edges in which each layer is offset from the other layers as a result of the shingle bending about a different radius of curvature, thereby providing a dimensional appearance along the transverse edges.

主权项

1. A roof assembly comprising:
a first planar roof portion; a second planar roof portion opposed to the first planar roof portion, wherein the first planar roof portion intersects the second opposed planar roof portion to form a ridge line or a hip of the roof assembly; a hip and ridge shingle, comprising:
a base layer; anda first decorative layer affixed to the base layer by a flexible adhesive, the flexible adhesive comprising a hydrocarbonaceous material, an oil, and at least one copolymer; wherein each of the base layer and the first decorative layer are separate layers that are both bent over the ridge line or the hip such that the first decorative layer bends about a different radius of curvature than the base layer, wherein the flexible adhesive allows movement of the first decorative layer relative to the base layer.
