Abstract
Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to roofing composites. In some embodiments, the roofing composite includes a first layer having a top surface. In some embodiments, the top surface of the first layer comprises a first embossed surface portion, a second embossed surface portion, and a flat surface portion between the first and second embossed surface portions. In some embodiments, the flat surface portion is between the first and second embossed surface portions. In some embodiments, the roofing composite is configured to attach to a roof structure, such as a roof deck. Methods of forming roofing composited are also disclosed.
Claims17
A roofing composite comprising:
- a first layer having a top surface
- wherein the top surface of the first layer comprises
- a first embossed surface portion,
- a second embossed surface portion, and
- a flat surface portion,
- wherein the flat surface portion is between the first and second embossed surface portions,
- wherein the flat surface portion is configured to form a seal with a component disposed thereon, and
- wherein a top surface of the flat surface portion is disposed below top surfaces of the first and second embossed portions, and
- wherein the flat surface portion extends along the length of the first layer,
- wherein the first layer is a non-woven fabric, and
- wherein the roofing composite is configured to attach to a roof deck.
An article comprising:
- a roofing composite roll, wherein the roofing composite roll comprises
- a longitudinal axis;
- and
- a roofing composite, wherein the roofing composite comprises a first layer having
- a first embossed surface portion,
- a second embossed surface portion, and
- a flat surface portion,
- wherein the flat surface portion is between the first and second embossed surface portions,
- wherein the flat surface portion is configured to form a seal with a component disposed thereon,
- wherein a top surface of the flat surface portion is disposed below top surfaces of the first and second embossed portions, and
- wherein the flat surface portion extends along an entire length of the roofing composite in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the roofing composite roll;
- and
- wherein the roofing composite is configured to attach to a roof deck;
- and
- a removable liner, wherein the removable liner is attached to the first layer of the roofing composite.
A roofing composite comprising:
- a first layer having top surface, a bottom surface, a length, and a width,
- wherein the top surface of the first layer comprises
- a first embossed surface portion having a width;
- a second embossed surface portion having a width,
- wherein the width of the second embossed surface portion is less than the width of the first embossed surface portion;
- and
- a flat surface portion having a width,
- wherein the flat surface portion is between the first and second embossed surface portions,
- wherein the flat surface portion is configured to form a seal with a component disposed thereon,
- wherein a top surface of the flat surface portion is disposed below top surfaces of the first and second embossed portions,
- wherein the width of the flat surface portion is less than the width of the first embossed surface portion,
- wherein the width of the flat surface portion is greater than the width of the second embossed surface portion, and
- wherein the flat surface portion extends along the length of the first layer;
- a second layer attached to the bottom surface of the first layer;
- and
- a third layer attached to the second layer,
- wherein the third layer comprises a removable liner.
