Definitions
- the general inventive concepts relate to underlayments and, more particularly, to a roofing underlayment that resists water ingress around fasteners that are used to secure the roofing underlayment to a substrate, such as a roof deck.
- Underlayments are commonly used in roofing applications along with an overlayment roofing material, such as asphalt shingles, slate tiles, wooden shakes, metal roofing, and so forth.
- the underlayment is generally secured to the roof deck using fasteners such as nails or staples, and the overlayment roofing material is installed over the underlayment using fasteners (typically nails) that penetrate the underlayment and the roof deck.
- the fasteners that penetrate the underlayment create holes through the underlayment that are susceptible to water ingress.
- the general inventive concepts relate to a roofing underlayment that resists water ingress around fasteners that are used to secure the roofing underlayment to a substrate, such as a roof deck.
- a substrate such as a roof deck.
- a roofing underlayment includes a base layer and a coating layer applied to the base layer. At least one of the base layer and the coating layer include a water-swellable composition.
- the water-swellable composition expands upon coming into contact with water to form a seal around a portion of the fastener.
- a roofing underlayment includes a base layer, a coating layer applied to the base layer, and a layer comprising a water-swellable composition.
- the layer comprising the water-swellable composition may be applied to the base layer, the coating layer, or both the base layer and the coating layer.
- a roofing underlayment includes a base layer and a coating layer applied to the base layer.
- An upper surface of the roofing underlayment has a water contact angle of at least 120°. Such a water contact angle renders the upper surface of the roofing underlayment resistant to wetting such that water coming into contact with the upper surface of the roofing underlayment will bead up, making it more difficult for water to infiltrate around fasteners that are used to secure the roofing underlayment.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a roofing underlayment according to the present disclosure
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a roofing underlayment according to the present disclosure
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a roofing underlayment according to the present disclosure
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a roofing underlayment according to the present disclosure.
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a roofing underlayment according to the present disclosure.
- the general inventive concepts relate to roofing underlayments configured to resist water ingress around fasteners that are used to secure the roofing underlayment to a substrate, such as a roof deck.
- the resistance to water ingress may be accomplished by incorporating a water-swellable composition into the roofing underlayment and/or by providing a roofing underlayment with an upper surface that has a water contact angle of at least 120°.
- a roofing underlayment 100 is provided.
- the roofing underlayment 100 comprises a base layer 10 and a coating layer 20 applied to a top side of the base layer 10 (i.e., a side intended to be furthest from the roof deck).
- FIG. 1 illustrates the roofing underlayment 100 having the coating layer 20 applied to the top side of the base layer 10
- the coating layer 20 may be applied to the bottom side of the base layer 10 instead.
- the roofing underlayment 100 comprises a base layer 10 , a first coating layer 20 applied to a top side of the base layer 10 , and a second coating layer 30 applied to a bottom side of the base layer 10 .
- the roofing underlayment 100 also comprises a water-swellable composition.
- the water-swellable composition may be included in one layer or multiple (e.g., two, three, four) layers of the roofing underlayment 100 .
- the roofing underlayment 100 resists water ingress through holes created by fasteners used to secure the roofing underlayment 100 to a substrate, such as a roof deck.
- fasteners e.g., nails, staples
- the water-swellable composition expands upon coming into contact with water to form a seal around a portion of the fastener and thereby resists water from passing through the holes created by the fasteners.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/861,509, filed Jun. 14, 2019, the entire content of which is incorporated by reference herein.
- The general inventive concepts relate to underlayments and, more particularly, to a roofing underlayment that resists water ingress around fasteners that are used to secure the roofing underlayment to a substrate, such as a roof deck.
- Underlayments are commonly used in roofing applications along with an overlayment roofing material, such as asphalt shingles, slate tiles, wooden shakes, metal roofing, and so forth. The underlayment is generally secured to the roof deck using fasteners such as nails or staples, and the overlayment roofing material is installed over the underlayment using fasteners (typically nails) that penetrate the underlayment and the roof deck. The fasteners that penetrate the underlayment create holes through the underlayment that are susceptible to water ingress.
- The general inventive concepts relate to a roofing underlayment that resists water ingress around fasteners that are used to secure the roofing underlayment to a substrate, such as a roof deck. To illustrate various aspects of the general inventive concepts, several exemplary embodiments of the roofing underlayment are disclosed.
- In one exemplary embodiment, a roofing underlayment includes a base layer and a coating layer applied to the base layer. At least one of the base layer and the coating layer include a water-swellable composition. When the roofing underlayment is punctured by a fastener used to secure the underlayment to a substrate, the water-swellable composition expands upon coming into contact with water to form a seal around a portion of the fastener.
- In one exemplary embodiment, a roofing underlayment includes a base layer, a coating layer applied to the base layer, and a layer comprising a water-swellable composition. The layer comprising the water-swellable composition may be applied to the base layer, the coating layer, or both the base layer and the coating layer. When the roofing underlayment is punctured by a fastener used to secure the underlayment to a substrate, the water-swellable composition expands upon coming into contact with water to form a seal around a portion of the fastener.
- In one exemplary embodiment, a roofing underlayment includes a base layer and a coating layer applied to the base layer. An upper surface of the roofing underlayment has a water contact angle of at least 120°. Such a water contact angle renders the upper surface of the roofing underlayment resistant to wetting such that water coming into contact with the upper surface of the roofing underlayment will bead up, making it more difficult for water to infiltrate around fasteners that are used to secure the roofing underlayment.
- Other aspects, advantages, and features of the general inventive concepts will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, when read in light of the accompanying drawings.
- The general inventive concepts, as well as embodiments and advantages thereof, are described below in greater detail, by way of example, with reference to the drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a roofing underlayment according to the present disclosure; -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a roofing underlayment according to the present disclosure; -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a roofing underlayment according to the present disclosure; -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a roofing underlayment according to the present disclosure; and -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a roofing underlayment according to the present disclosure. - While the general inventive concepts are susceptible of embodiment in many different forms, there are shown in the drawings, and will be described herein in detail, specific embodiments thereof with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the general inventive concepts. Accordingly, the general inventive concepts are not intended to be limited to the specific embodiments illustrated herein.
- The general inventive concepts relate to roofing underlayments configured to resist water ingress around fasteners that are used to secure the roofing underlayment to a substrate, such as a roof deck. As will be described in further detail below, the resistance to water ingress may be accomplished by incorporating a water-swellable composition into the roofing underlayment and/or by providing a roofing underlayment with an upper surface that has a water contact angle of at least 120°.
- In one exemplary embodiment, a
roofing underlayment 100 is provided. Referring toFIG. 1 , theroofing underlayment 100 comprises abase layer 10 and acoating layer 20 applied to a top side of the base layer 10 (i.e., a side intended to be furthest from the roof deck). AlthoughFIG. 1 illustrates theroofing underlayment 100 having thecoating layer 20 applied to the top side of thebase layer 10, it is contemplated that thecoating layer 20 may be applied to the bottom side of thebase layer 10 instead. In another embodiment, as seen inFIG. 2 , theroofing underlayment 100 comprises abase layer 10, afirst coating layer 20 applied to a top side of thebase layer 10, and asecond coating layer 30 applied to a bottom side of thebase layer 10. - In accordance with the present disclosure, the
roofing underlayment 100 also comprises a water-swellable composition. The water-swellable composition may be included in one layer or multiple (e.g., two, three, four) layers of theroofing underlayment 100. By including a water-swellable composition, theroofing underlayment 100 resists water ingress through holes created by fasteners used to secure theroofing underlayment 100 to a substrate, such as a roof deck. For example, when theroofing underlayment 100 is punctured by fasteners (e.g., nails, staples), the water-swellable composition expands upon coming into contact with water to form a seal around a portion of the fastener and thereby resists water from passing through the holes created by the fasteners. - In certain embodiments, the roofing underlayment is a self-adhered underlayment. In such embodiments, a layer of adhesive material (not shown) (e.g., an asphalt-based adhesive) is applied to a bottom surface of the roofing underlayment, and the layer of adhesive material adheres the roofing underlayment to a substrate, such as a roof deck. The layer of adhesive material may be covered with a conventional release material. Fasteners are not required to secure the self-adhered roofing underlayment to the substrate. However, the water-swellable composition in the self-adhered roofing underlayment will function to resist water ingress through holes created by fasteners used to secure an overlayment roofing material (e.g., shingles, tiles, shakes) to the substrate. In other words, when the self-adhered roofing underlayment is punctured by fasteners (e.g., nails, staples) used to secure an overlayment roofing material to a roof deck, the water-swellable composition in the self-adhered roofing underlayment will expand upon coming into contact with water/moisture to form a seal around a portion of the fastener and thereby resist water from passing through the holes created by the fasteners.
