主权项

1. A roofing system consisting essentially of laminated shingles having headlap portions and buttlap portions, wherein the roofing system comprises a plurality of courses of shingles, and wherein a trailing lateral edge of a subsequently installed shingle in a first course of shingles overlaps a leading lateral edge of an adjacent previously installed shingle in the first course to provide an overlap region, wherein the laminated shingle consists essentially of a first and a second shingle sheet, wherein lateral edges of the first sheet are substantially aligned with lateral edges of the second sheet, wherein the width of the headlap portion is smaller than the width of the buttlap portion, thereby forming a reduced-width headlap portion, and wherein an interply material does not compensate for the reduced-width headlap portion to provide protection to a roof deck.
