Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system including a first roofing material installed on the roof deck; a second roofing material installed on the roof deck, adjacent to the first roofing material, where the second roofing material includes: a first layer comprising silicone; and a first substrate, where the first layer partially covers a surface of the first substrate, thereby to provide at least a first area of the surface of the first substrate not covered by the first layer, where the first roofing material overlaps at least a portion of the first area; and a flashing material including silicone, where the flashing material covers a portion of each of: the first roofing material, the first layer of the second roofing material, and the first area of the second roofing material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a roof deck; a first roofing material installed on the roof deck; a second roofing material installed on the roof deck, adjacent to the first roofing material, wherein the second roofing material comprises: a first layer comprising silicone, a first substrate, and a first barrier layer, wherein the first layer covers a surface of the first substrate, and wherein the first substrate partially covers a surface of the first barrier layer, thereby to provide at least a first area of a surface of the first barrier layer not covered by the first substrate, wherein the first roofing material overlaps at least a portion of the first area; and a flashing material comprising silicone, wherein the flashing material covers at least a portion of each of the first roofing material, and the first layer of the second roofing material. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first area is at a first edge of the second roofing material. 3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the first layer partially covers a surface of the first substrate, thereby to provide a second area of the first substrate not covered by the first layer, wherein the second area is at a second edge of the second roofing material. 4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second roofing material further comprises a second layer, wherein the second layer comprises silicone, wherein the second layer at least partially covers a surface of the first substrate opposite the surface covered by the first layer. 5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second roofing material further comprises: an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer adheres the second roofing material to the roof deck. 6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second roofing material further comprises a barrier layer, wherein the barrier layer at least partially covers a surface of the first substrate opposite the surface covered by the first layer. 7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the second roofing material further comprises a second substrate, wherein the barrier layer is between the first substrate and the second substrate. 8. The system of claim 6 , further comprising: at least one mechanical fastener disposed through the second roofing material and the roof deck. 9. The system of claim 5 , further comprising: a barrier layer, wherein the barrier layer is between the first substrate and the adhesive layer. 10. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive under the first roofing material and the second roofing material.
