A liquid applied hail and rain protection roofing material for commercial applications and the process for applying the commercial roofing materials. This is an elastomeric material which is embedded with fiberglass and/or granules of stone-like rubber rock to provide for strength and to resist the hail. An Ultraviolet Ray protection can also be applied. The materials utilized increase the utility as a roofing membrane by making it more elastic and by resulting in greater flexibility at low temperatures and in greater heat resistance at high temperatures. This flexibility prevents softening/flow and deformation from mechanical forces, such as those associated with maintenance personnel walking on the roofing membrane. A roofing membrane may be formed of the material as a laminate of a plurality of types of modified layers at the worksite pre-made as panels then installed at the worksite.

This invention, in embodiments, relates to a roofing system comprising (a) a roofing substrate having a roofing surface, (b) a first roofing tile overlying the roofing surface, the first roofing tile having a front surface, a back surface, a top edge, and a bottom edge, and (c) a second roofing tile overlying the first roofing tile, the second roofing tile having a front surface, a back surface, a top edge, and a bottom edge. At least one sealant line is applied to (i) the back surface of the second roofing tile in an area that overlays the first roofing tile, (ii) the front surface of the first roofing tile in an area in which the second roofing tile overlays the first roofing tile, or (iii) both (i) and (ii). The at least one sealant line is configured to adhere the second roofing tile to the first roofing tile.

A sealing gasket (4) for use between flashing members (31,32) is disclosed. It comprises a compressible sealing section and an attachment section comprising at least two legs configured for engagement with a flashing member, both sections extending over substantially the entire length of the sealing gasket. The at least two legs of the attachment section project from a base section of the attachment section so that a first recess and a second recess extending in parallel are defined, said first and second recesses being configured for engagement with a flange, ridge, or leg on a flashing member. The invention further relates to a flashing arrangement and to a method of sealing a gap between flashing members for a roof window.

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.
