The purpose of this new roofing idea is to increase the speed of the application of asphalt roofing. It is composed of a single roof shingle that is 51 feet long. The asphalt shingle is manufactured in two parts. The first part is 51 feet long by 1 foot high. It is a continuous shingle. The second part is 3 feet long with a 6×6 inch cut outs every 6 inches (see Diagram #1). The 3 foot long sections are glued on top of the 51 foot long shingle, forming a continuous finished shingle 51 feet in length. It is folded at manufacturing into three foot sections, left over right, forming a three foot long bundle (see Diagram #2). It is applied by nailing the first shingle to the roof. The bundle is then pulled open and laid flat across a 51 foot section of the roof (see Diagram #3). The shingle is nailed every eight inches. The process is repeated in layers leaving six inches of exposed shingle. Four bundles will equal one square of roofing.
