Abstract

A roofing material is provided having an asphalt-coated mat or felt made up of or in combinations of fiberglass, polyester, nylon, cotton, cellulosic fibers or materials, polyethylene, polypropylene, co-polymers, melamine, phenolic, acrylics, polycarbonate, carbon fiber, clay, metallic in woven, non-woven, strands or sheets, styrene compounds, rubber, silk, leather, or wool in a woven, non-woven, or solid form. The surfacing materials can be made up of or in combination minerals, plastic particles or film, metal particles or film, cement particles, clay particles, paints, coatings, glass, ceramics, wood, wood fiber, or composite materials.

Claims (52)

1. A roofing material comprising:

a first covering material comprising fines,

wherein the first covering material is configured to be an uppermost surface of when the roofing material is installed on a roof deck;

a paint on at least a portion of the fines;

a first asphalt layer comprising asphalt and an asphalt filler;

a fiberglass mat,

wherein the first asphalt layer is between the first covering material and the fiberglass mat;

a second asphalt layer comprising asphalt and an asphalt filler,

wherein the fiberglass mat is between the first asphalt layer and the second asphalt layer;

a polymer layer attached to the second asphalt layer; and

a second covering material in direct contact with the second asphalt layer, the second covering material comprising sand.

2. The roofing material of claim 1 , wherein the roofing material is a roofing shingle.

3. The roofing material of claim 1 , wherein the roofing material is at least one of a strip shingle, a three-tab shingle, a laminated shingle, an architectural shingle, or a hip and ridge shingle.

4. The roofing material of claim 1 , wherein the polymer layer comprises a polyethylene film.

5. The roofing material of claim 1 , wherein a fire rating of the roofing material is Class A when tested according to at least one of ASTM E 108 or UL 790.

6. A roofing material comprising:

a first covering material comprising fines,

wherein the first covering material is configured to be an uppermost surface of when the roofing material is installed on a roof deck;

a paint on at least a portion of the fines;

a first asphalt layer comprising asphalt and an asphalt filler;

a fiberglass mat,

wherein the first asphalt layer is on positioned of on a surface of the fiberglass mat;

a second asphalt layer comprising asphalt and an asphalt filler,

wherein the second asphalt layer is positioned on a surface of the fiberglass mat which is opposite the surface on which the first asphalt layer is positioned;

a polymer layer attached to the second asphalt layer; and

a second covering material in direct contact with the second asphalt layer, the second covering material comprising granules.

7. The roofing material of claim 2 , wherein the polymer layer comprises a polyethylene film.

8. The roofing material of claim 6 , wherein the roofing material is a roofing shingle.

9. The roofing material of claim 6 , wherein the roofing material is at least one of a strip shingle, a three-tab shingle, a laminated shingle, an architectural shingle, or a hip and ridge shingle.

10. The roofing material of claim 6 , wherein the polymer layer comprises a polyethylene film.

11. The roofing material of claim 6 , wherein the granules comprise one or more of minerals, plastic, metal, cement, clay, glass, ceramics, wood, composite, sand, or combinations thereof.

12. The roofing material of claim 6 , wherein a fire rating of the roofing material is Class A when tested according to at least one of ASTM E 108 or UL 790.

13. The roofing material of claim 8 , wherein the polymer layer comprises a polyethylene film.

14. A system, comprising:

a roof deck; and

a roofing material installed on the roof deck, the roofing material comprising:

a first covering material comprising fines,

wherein the first covering material is an uppermost surface of the roofing material on the roof deck;

a paint on at least a portion of the fines;

a first asphalt layer comprising asphalt and an asphalt filler;

a fiberglass mat,

wherein the first asphalt layer is between the first covering material and the fiberglass mat;

a second asphalt layer comprising asphalt and an asphalt filler,

wherein the fiberglass mat is between the first asphalt layer and the second asphalt layer;

a polymer layer attached to the second asphalt layer; and

a second covering material in direct contact with the second asphalt layer, the second covering material comprising granules.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the roofing material is a roofing shingle.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the roofing material is at least one of a strip shingle, a three-tab shingle, a laminated shingle, an architectural shingle, or a hip and ridge shingle.

17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the polymer layer comprises a polyethylene film.

18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the granules comprise one or more of minerals, plastic, metal, cement, clay, glass, ceramics, wood, composite, sand, or combinations thereof.

19. The system of claim 14 , further comprising a color coating disposed on the first covering material.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the polymer layer comprises a polyethylene film.
