Abstract

A roofing shingle (20) comprises a web (22) of roofing material configured with a first series of sealant material sites (60) and a second series of sealant material sites (62) provided on the roofing shingle (20). The web (22) of roofing material is configured with a length dimension (L) and a width dimension (W). The sealant material sites 60 of the first series are provided along a first axis (66) which is essentially parallel to the length dimension of the web. The sealant material sites (60) of the first series are discontinuous along the first axis (66) and separated from one another along the first axis by a first interval (70). The sealant material sites of the second series (62) are provided along a second axis (68) which is essentially parallel to the length dimension of the web and spaced apart from the first axis (66) with respect to the width dimension. The sealant material sites (62) of the second series are discontinuous along the second axis (68) and are separated from one another along the second axis (68) by a second interval (72), the second interval (72) being different than the first interval (70).

Dependent claims

A method of installing roofing shingles on a roof, each of the shingles comprising a web configured with a length dimension of L=K*I units of measure, L and I being even integers of a measurement unit and K being an odd integer, the method comprising the acts of:

(1) for a first course of installation, applying an entire one of the shingles to an underlayment of the roof;
(2) for each of X courses of installation, where X ranges from 2 to an integer J:
a. forming a X shingle for course X whereby:
i. a major portion of the shingle for the course X a length L−((X−1)*I);
and
ii. a minor portion of the shingle for the course X has a length L−(L−((X−1)* I));
b. applying the major portion of the shingle for the course X over at least a portion of a major portion of a shingle of course X−1 and an underlayment;
(3) for each of Y courses of installation, where Y ranges from J+1 to an integer C, applying one of the minor portions of the shingle formed in act (2) over at least a portion of course Y−1 and to the underlayment;
(4) wherein K and I are chosen whereby edges of the shingle major portions and shingle minor portions applied for courses 2−C are substantially aligned in the length dimension with an edge of the entire one of the shingles applied for the first course.
