Abstract

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a roofing system. In some embodiments, the roofing system includes a first roofing material, wherein the first roofing material comprises a top surface and a bottom surface. In some embodiments, the top surface of the first roofing material comprises a nail zone with a plurality of fines. In some embodiments, the roofing system includes a second roofing material, wherein the second roofing material comprises a top surface and a bottom surface. In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the second roofing material comprises a plurality of fines. In some embodiments, the roofing system comprises and a patterned adhesive, which directly contacts at least a portion of the plurality of fines in the nail zone and at least a portion of the plurality of fines on the bottom surface of the second roofing material.

Claims (84)

a second roofing material,

wherein at least a portion of the second roofing material is above the first roofing material,

wherein the second roofing material comprises a bottom surface,

wherein the bottom surface of the second roofing material comprises a plurality of fines; and

one adhesive between the top surface of the first roofing material and the bottom surface of the second roofing material,

wherein the adhesive directly contacts at least a portion of the plurality of fines on the bottom surface of the second roofing material without any intervening layer between the adhesive and the plurality of fines on the bottom surface of the second roofing material,

wherein the adhesive directly contacts at least a portion of the plurality of fines in the nail zone on the top surface of the first roofing material without any intervening layer between the adhesive and the plurality of fines in the nail zone of the first roofing material,

wherein the adhesive is randomized,

wherein the adhesive comprises a fiberized adhesive including fiberized strands of adhesive;

at least one fastener in the nail zone,

wherein the at least one fastener comprises at least one nail,

wherein the at least one nail comprises a nail head, and

wherein the adhesive overlaps the nail head of the at least one nail to secure the nail head in the nail zone.

2. The roofing system of claim 1 ,

wherein the first roofing material comprises a shingle, and

wherein the second roofing material comprises a shingle.

3. The roofing system of claim 1 ,

wherein an area including the adhesive includes a length and a width,

wherein the nail zone includes a length and a width, and

wherein the width of the nail zone is greater than the width of the area.

4. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fines of the first roofing material and the plurality of fines of the second roofing material comprises at least one of mica flakes, copper slag, coal slag, sand, talc, expanded clay, slate flour, powdered limestone, and silica dust.

5. A roofing system comprising:

a roof deck;
