Enhanced multi-layered shingle

A composition roofing shingle comprising:

• an upper first composition layer and a second lower composition layer, each composition layer comprising a glass fiber material therein;
• a bituminous coating disposed on interior and exterior surfaces of the first and second layers;
• and
• granules disposed on the bituminous coating on external surfaces of the first and second layers;
• wherein the lower second composition layer is connected under the first layer such that at least a portion of the exterior surface of the second layer is visible from an exterior side of the first layer, and a first leading edge of the first layer aligned to a second leading edge of the second layer;
• wherein the second layer comprises at least one deformation point deformed into the first layer, the at least one deformation point being within a common bond area that is located between headlap and buttlap portions of the shingle and provides a region for interconnecting at least a portion of the interior surface of the first layer with at least a portion of the exterior surface of the second layer;
• and
• wherein the at least one deformation point terminates within the first layer such that no deformation is visible on the exterior surface of the first layer.

A composition roofing shingle, comprising:

• a first layer having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the exterior surface of the first layer providing at least a first portion of an exterior surface of the shingle;
• and
• a second layer having an interior surface and an exterior surface, at least a portion of the exterior surface of the second layer adhesively connected to at least a portion of the interior surface of the first layer, and a first leading edge of the first layer aligned to a second leading edge of the second layer;
• wherein the second layer comprises at least one deformation point deformed into the first layer, the at least one deformation point being within a common bond area that is located between headlap and buttlap portions of the shingle and provides a region for interconnecting the at least a portion of the interior surface of the first layer with the at least a portion of the exterior surface of the second layer;
• wherein the at least one deformation point terminates within the first layer such that no deformation is visible on the exterior surface of the first layer;
• and
• wherein a portion of the exterior surface of a buttlap portion of the second layer is exposed through a buttlap portion of the first layer to provide a second portion of the exterior surface of the shingle.
