Synthetic Roofing Shingle

摘要

A monolayer synthetic or artificial thatch shingle comprising a plurality of tapering extensions extending from a base flange member, the thatch shingle having been formed from a thin sheet of stiff plastic, and the extensions having been formed by removing material from the thin sheet. The base flange member presents a solid surface, such that when shingles are overlaid in successive rows advancing up the pitched roof, the combination of overlapping base flange members provides a water barrier such that all rain water is directed from the slanted roof.
