Magnetic-responsive compositions for roofing materials are provided. A composition comprises a polymer and a magnetic-responsive additive. The magnetic-responsive additive, when subjected to a magnetic field, is aligned in a horizontal direction sufficient to increase a reflectivity of the composition upon curing to form a roofing material. A kit comprising a composition and a roller device is provided. The roller device comprising a roller, wherein the roller contains a magnetic array. Related systems and related methods are also provided.

Magnetic-responsive compositions for roofing materials

A method of forming a sloped roof can comprise obtaining a base layer comprising at least one of a permeable mesh, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, plastic, foam material or combinations thereof; applying the base layer over a roofing substrate of the sloped roof; and applying a liquid roofing material to the base layer to form a liquid applied roof.

Liquid applied roofing systems and methods for forming roofs

Adhesive-less roofing systems are provided. A roofing system comprises a roofing substrate and at least two roofing membranes. The at least two roofing membranes are located on the roofing substrate. The at least two roofing membranes are partially overlapping, so as to form an overlapping portion. Each of the at least two roofing membranes independently comprises a crosslinked polymer and a boron-containing compound. Related roofing materials and related methods, among other things, are also provided.

Adhesive-less roofing systems and related methods

A roofing composite membrane includes a base layer including a first thermoplastic polyolefin. A weight of the base layer is between 5 and 25 grams per square foot. A coating layer at least partially coats the base layer. The coating layer includes at least one inorganic additive, and a second thermoplastic polyolefin including polypropylene and having a melt flow rate between 0.5 grams per 10 minutes and 12 grams per 10 minutes.

Composite membrane for building applications

A two component roof coating system and method includes a sufficiently porous fabric attachable to a roof deck. A first component of the two component roof coating may be applied to the fabric after it is attached to the roof. Alternatively, fabric may be pre-soaked with the first component prior to attachment. A second component of the two component roof coating may then be applied to the fabric. The first and second components react with each other to form a waterproof roof coating. The fabric can hold the components in place and prevent sagging.

Matrix assisted two component roof coating system and method

A fastener plate for use in coupling an underlayment to a roof surface is disclosed. In use, the fastener plate is arranged and configured to enable subsequently applied liquid coatings to flow through a top surface of the fastener plate and into one or more cavities so that the liquid coating seals any openings created by introduction of the fastener. In one embodiment, the fastener plate may include a top surface, a bottom surface, a fastener opening for receiving a fastener, a plurality of openings formed in the top surface, and one or more cavities positioned between the top surface and the bottom surface, the one or more cavities being in fluid communication with the plurality of openings so that the liquid coating can flow through the plurality of openings formed in the top surface and into the one or more cavities to seal any voids created by the fastener.

Fastener plate for securing an underlayment to a roof surface

A method includes obtaining a first membrane; obtaining a second membrane; wherein the first and/or second membrane include an uncured silicone edge portion; installing the first membrane above a roofing substrate; installing the second membrane above the roofing substrate; overlapping the first membrane and the second membrane; curing the uncured silicone edge portion; and providing a lap seal between the first membrane and the second membrane.

Roofing membrane and associated roofing system and method

A hail resistant roofing system and method includes a roofing substrate such as a shingle or tile or membrane having an array of exposed upwardly projecting features. The features may rise to sharp points and may have side surfaces that are angled relative to the plane of the roofing substrate. The features are spaced and arranged so that a large hail stone capable of damaging the roofing substrate will always impact one or more of the exposed features. This can break up the hail stone into smaller benign pieces or can redirect the energy and direction of the hail stone so that the impact is absorbed without damage to the roofing substrate.

Impact resistant roofing systems and methods

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.

Roofing material, and roof system including the roofing material

Fastener systems for roofing systems are disclosed for fastening a fabric, mesh, or base sheet to a roof deck prior to application of a liquid applied roof coating. The fastening assemblies may be attached to an uncleaned or unprimed roof deck and a fabric is laid atop the fasteners. The fasteners secure the fabric using mechanical binding or chemical bonding without penetrating or dimpling the fabric.

Fastening systems for attaching fabric to a roof deck

A self-sealing fastener for installation of roofing materials for creating a substantially watertight seal around fastener penetrations where roofing materials or panels are affixed to an underlying roof deck by the fasteners. Also disclosed is a method for installing the self-sealing fastener for attachment of roofing materials to an underlying roof deck with the penetrations areas or holes created by the fasteners being substantially sealed against water penetration.

Self-sealing roof fastener

Methods and systems for imparting visual features to a liquid applied roof, such as for forming a residential roof, include using overlapping strips of underlayment, underlayment with varying densities, underlayment with raised features, and underlayment with a gridded surface among others. Visual features also can be imparted by mixing different colors of a liquid applied roofing material, embedding floating particles in a liquid applied roofing material, embedding colored flakes in a liquid applied roofing material or spraying colored flakes onto a liquid applied roof before skinning, creating texture as the liquid applied roofing material is applied, and using stencils or printing techniques to impart visual features.
