Abstract

A shingle underlayment system includes a waterproofing shingle underlayment, drip edge member, and one or more adhesive sealing strips integrated in a single product. The waterproofing shingle underlayment includes a top surface and an adhesive bottom surface. The drip edge member comprises an in-roof portion and an overhang portion, with the in-roof portion affixed to the top surface of the waterproofing shingle underlayment. The one or more adhesive sealing strips are located above the drip edge member on the top surface of the waterproofing shingle underlayment.

Claims (16)

1. A shingle underlayment system, the system comprising:

a shingle underlayment roll comprising:

a built-in drip edge member comprising an in-roof portion and an overhang portion, the in-roof portion integrally affixed to the top surface of the waterproofing shingle underlayment; and

one or more adhesive sealing strips located above the in-roof portion of the drip edge member on the top surface of the waterproofing shingle underlayment,

wherein the shingle underlayment roll is installed by unrolling the shingle underlayment roll along a roof edge with the adhesive bottom surface of the waterproofing shingle underlayment facing toward the roof edge.

2. The shingle underlayment system of claim 1 , wherein the drip edge member further comprises a fold line indicator located between the in-roof portion of the drip edge member and the overhang portion of the drip edge member.

6. The shingle underlayment system of claim 1 , wherein the drip edge member is composed of a plurality of slat members operable to provide stiffness of the drip edge member in a direction transverse to a roof line while allowing rolling and unrolling of the shingle underlayment system in a longitudinal direction.

7. The shingle underlayment system of claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of slat members is made of a plastic-based composition.

8. The shingle underlayment system of claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of slat members is made of a metal-based composition.

9. The shingle underlayment system of claim 1 , wherein the drip edge member further comprises a water diversion structure included on the in-roof portion of the drip edge member.

10. The shingle underlayment system of claim 9 , wherein the water diversion structure comprises a groove structure extending longitudinally across the in-roof portion of the drip edge member or a ridge structure extending longitudinally across the in-roof portion of the drip edge member.
