Abstract

A sheet-like member including a plurality of rows of patterned shingle construction defined by shingle face members separated by associated grooves defined within a forward surface of the sheet, with a rear surface of the sheet including spaced parallel adhesive strips. A modification of the invention includes engagement ribs directed between the adhesive strips to enhance positioning and gripping of a roof surface during securement of the organization thereon.

Claims

1. A sheet roofing organization defining an elongate, flexible panel, wherein the panel includes a forward surface and a rear surface, the forward surface including plural rows of face members extending beyond the forward surface, wherein each row of face members is offset relative to adjacent rows, and

a plurality of spaced parallel adhesive strips mounted to the rear surface for adhesive securement to an underlying roof panel, and

including a horizontal nailing flange mounted coextensively to an upper edge of the sheet-like member, with the horizontal nailing flange including a horizontal nailing flange top surface recessed below a face member top surface defined by the face members, and the sheet-like member including an elongate bottom edge, and a bottom edge recess groove directed into the rear surface adjacent the bottom edge, wherein the recessed groove is defined by a recessed groove width and wherein the horizontal nailing flange is defined by a horizontal nailing flange width, wherein the horizontal nailing flange width is equal to the recess groove width, and

including a vertical nailing flange formed coextensively to a left edge of the sheet-like member, and
