Abstract
Building roofing of the composition type. Members are combined with composition roofing material to provide the effect of shadow lines which enhance the appearance and aid the attachment of the composition to the underlying roof structure.
Claims15
In a roof construction applicable to an inclined roof structure, strips of roofing composition applied to the structure in courses extending generally horizontally along the structure with the lower edge margin of each strip being disposed in overlapping contact with the upper edge margin of the next lower strip, and elongate members providing shadow line forming surfaces extending in spaced parallel relation along the structure, each of said members being applied over one of the joints formed by the overlapping edge portions of the composition strips and over the lower edge of the uppermost strip at the joint.
In a roof construction applicable to an inclined roof structure, strips of roofing composition applied to the structure in courses extending generally horizontally along the structure with the lower edge margin of each strip being disposed in overlapping contact with the upper edge margin of the next lower strip, elongate members providing shadow line forming surfaces extending in spaced relation along the structure generally parallel to said strips, and horizontally spaced shadow line forming means extending between said elongate members in a direction extending upwardly along the slope of the roof structure.
In a method for the manufacture of a roof construction, applying composition strips in horizontal courses to an underlying inclined roof structure, with the lower edge margin of one composition strip overlapping the upper edge margin of the next lower composition strip, and then applying shadow forming elongate members horizontally over the overlapping margins of the composition strips.
