First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A roofing material, comprising: a mat at least one asphalt layer, wherein the asphalt layer is disposed on the mat, wherein the asphalt layer comprises an asphalt and an asphalt filler, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the asphalt is approximately 10.50 lbs.; an exposed surface covering material, wherein the exposed surface consists essentially of grade 18 mineral granules, disposed on the exposed surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the exposed surface covering material is approximately 18.00 lbs.; and a headlap surface covering material, wherein the headlap surface covering material consists essentially of grade 18 mineral granules, disposed on the headlap surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the headlap surface covering material is approximately 18.00 lbs, and a back surface covering material, wherein the back surface covering material consists essentially of sand. 2. The roofing material of claim 1 , wherein the mat consists essentially of non-woven fiberglass, wherein the mat comprises a top and a back surfaces, wherein the top surface comprises an exposed surface and a headlap surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the mat is approximately 1.55 lbs. 3. The roofing material of claim 1 , wherein the mat consists essentially of spunglass polypropylene, wherein the mat comprises a top and a back surfaces, wherein the top surface comprises an exposed surface and a headlap surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the mat is approximately 1.0 lbs. 4. The roofing material of claim 1 , wherein the roofing material is an asphalt shingle. 5. The roofing material of claim 1 , wherein the roofing material is roll roofing. 6. A roofing material, comprising: a mat wherein the mat consists essentially of non-woven fiberglass, wherein the mat comprises a top and a back surfaces, wherein the top surface comprises an exposed surface and a headlap surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the mat is approximately 1.55 lbs.; at least one asphalt layer, wherein the asphalt layer is disposed on the mat, wherein the asphalt layer comprises an asphalt and an asphalt filler, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the asphalt is approximately 10.50 lbs.; an exposed surface covering material, wherein the exposed surface consists essentially of aluminum flakes, disposed on the exposed surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the exposed surface covering material is approximately 3.00 lbs.; and a headlap surface covering material, wherein the headlap surface covering material consists essentially of fine mineral surfacing, disposed on the headlap surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the headlap surface covering material is approximately 12.00 lbs, and a back surface covering material, wherein the back surface covering material consists essentially of fine coal slag. 7. A roofing material, comprising: a mat wherein the mat consists essentially of non-woven fiberglass, wherein the mat comprises a top and a back surfaces, wherein the top surface comprises an exposed surface and a headlap surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the mat is approximately 1.55 lbs.; at least one asphalt layer, wherein the asphalt layer is disposed on the mat, wherein the asphalt layer comprises an asphalt and an asphalt filler, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the asphalt is approximately 15 . 00 lbs.; an exposed surface covering material, a headlap surface covering material, a back surface covering material, wherein the back surface covering material consists essentially of sand. 8. The roofing material of claim 7 , wherein the exposed surface consists essentially of plastic granules, disposed on the exposed surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the exposed surface covering material is approximately 10.00 lbs.; and wherein the headlap surface covering material consists essentially of plastic granules, disposed on the headlap surface, and wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the headlap surface covering material is approximately 10.00 lbs. 9. The roofing material of claim 8 , wherein the exposed surface consists essentially of plastic and mineral granule blend, disposed on the exposed surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the exposed surface covering material is approximately 20.00 lbs.; and wherein the headlap surface covering material consists essentially of plastic and mineral granule blend, disposed on the headlap surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the headlap surface covering material is approximately 20.00 lbs. 10. The roofing material of claim 7 , wherein the roofing material is an asphalt shingle. 11. The roofing material of claim 7 , wherein the roofing material is roll roofing. 12. A roofing material, comprising: a mat wherein the mat consists essentially of non-woven fiberglass, wherein the mat comprises a top and a back surfaces, wherein the top surface comprises an exposed surface and a headlap surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the mat is approximately 1.05 lbs.; at least one asphalt layer, wherein the asphalt layer is disposed on the mat, wherein the asphalt layer comprises an asphalt and an asphalt filler, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the asphalt is approximately 10.50 lbs.; an exposed surface covering material, wherein the exposed surface consists essentially of grade 18 mineral granules, disposed on the exposed surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the exposed surface covering material is approximately 18.00 lbs.; and a headlap surface covering material, wherein the headlap surface covering material consists essentially of expanded clay granules, disposed on the headlap surface, wherein the wt./100 sq. ft. of the headlap surface covering material is approximately 12.00 lbs, and a back surface covering material, wherein the back surface covering material consists essentially of fine coal slag. 13. The roofing material of claim 12 , wherein the roofing material is an asphalt shingle. 14. The roofing material of claim 12 , wherein the roofing material is roll roofing.
