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.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- obtaining a first composite,
- wherein the first composite comprises:
- a first layer having,
- a bottom surface, and
- a top surface,
- wherein the top surface is opposite the bottom surface,
- wherein the top surface 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,
- wherein the flat surface portion extends along a length of the first layer, and
- positioning the bottom surface of the first composite proximate a building structure.
A system, comprising:
- a building structure;
- and
- a first composite,
- wherein the first composite comprises:
- a first layer having,
- a bottom surface, and
- a top surface,
- wherein the top surface is opposite the bottom surface,
- wherein the top surface 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 the flat surface portion extends along a length of the first layer, and
- wherein the bottom surface is located adjacent the building structure.
A composite comprising:
- a top surface and an adhesive surface opposite the top surface,
- wherein the top surface 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 an uppermost surface of the flat surface portion is disposed below uppermost surfaces of the first and second embossed surface portions,
- wherein the flat surface portion extends along a length of the top surface, and
- wherein the first embossed surface portion comprises a non-woven fabric;
- an adhesive on the adhesive surface;
- and
- a release liner removably attached to the adhesive.
