A method for producing an asphaltic sheet, the method comprising of providing an asphaltic sheet; and applying expandable graphite particles to the asphaltic sheet.

The present disclosure concerns a skylight protection assembly to protect a skylight of a roof. The skylight protection assembly comprises a frame superposable to a mounting surface of the roof to surround at least partially the skylight and securable to the roof, the frame comprising at least one frame member having a roof-engaging portion, a screen-supporting portion and an outer side; a protection screen engageable with the screen-supporting portion of said at least one frame member to define with the frame a skylight protection chamber configured to contain the skylight. The frame member comprises an upper frame member, the outer side of the upper frame member having a water-flowing profile considered in a plane substantially parallel to the mounting surface of the roof. The present disclosure also concerns a method for protecting a skylight of a roof.

A roofing system comprises layered construction panels, each having a bottom structural layer to provide strength and support. A performance layer overlies the structural layer and provides performance or functional characteristics such as water proofing, water shedding and/or impact resistance. An upper or decorative layer overlies the performance layer and provides aesthetic features or a decorative appearance for the roofing system. The decorative layer of the construction panels can be removed without damaging or affecting the performance layer. The appearance of a roof can thereby be changed at will without requiring that the entire roofing system be removed and replaced.
