Abstract
A roofing shingle includes a substrate layer which is adapted to be secured to a roof of a building. The roofing shingle also includes an insulator layer co-extruded or otherwise secured to the substrate layer. The insulator layer includes a resin film having borosilicate implanted therein. A method of fabricating a roofing shingle is also disclosed.
Claims37
A roofing shingle, comprising:
- a substrate layer which is adapted to be secured to a roof of a building;
- and
- an insulator layer secured to said substrate layer, said insulator layer comprising borosilicate.
A method of fabricating a roofing shingle, comprising the steps of:
- fabricating a substrate layer, said substrate layer being adapted to fabricating a substrate layer, be secured to a roof of a building;
- fabricating an insulator layer which includes borosilicate;
- and securing said substrate layer and said insulator layer to one another
A method of fabricating a roofing shingle, comprising the steps of:
- fabricating a substrate layer, said substrate layer being adapted to be secured to a roof of a building;
- implanting an insulating material into a resin film;
- and
- securing said resin film to said substrate layer.
The method of claim IS, wherein said substrate layer fabricating step includes the step of fabricating said substrate layer from a re-vulcanized rubber material.
A roofing shingle, comprising:
- a substrate adapted to be secured to a roof of a building;
- and a resin film secured to said substrate, said resin film having an insulating material implanted therein.
A method of fabricating a roofing shingle, comprising the steps of:
- implanting an insulating material into a film so as to form an 10 implanted film;
- co-extruding said implanted film with a substrate material so as to form a co-extruded composite material;
- and
- altering a shape of said co-extruded composite material so as to form said roofing shingle.
A roof assembly for a building, comprising:
- a wooden deck;
- and
- a roofing shingle secured to said wooden deck, said roofing shingle being prepared by a process including the steps of (i) implanting an insulating material into a film so as to form an implanted film, (ii) co-extruding said implanted film with a substrate material so as to form a coextruded composite material, and (iii) altering a shape of said co-extruded composite material so as to form said roofing shingle.
