AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a pre-assembled set of shingles that are integrated with a unique installation system. This results in a traditional cedar shingle installation with added benefits of ventilation, easy installation, and uniform keyway spaces. The invention alleviates moisture-related damage caused by improper shingle installation or unventilated shingle installation. It is designed to provide proper keyway offsets and spaces, making it a superior ventilation solution.

Problems solved by technology

Other siding products, such as shingle panels and clapboards, do not have sufficient overlaps to prevent leaks.
This is why they are not adequate in roofing applications.
Meeting this requirement, when installing shingles conventionally, is a very tedious and time consuming process.
Consequently, this code requirement is often ignored or compromised, resulting in leaks.

An assembly, and method for constructing the assembly, that provides a much faster and more precise shingle installation with required keyway spacing and offsets, and with built-in ventilation that improves the performance of the shingles and protects the wall assembly. Also providing a pleasing distribution of shingle widths with no apparent patterns.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the fields of roofing and siding and, more particularly, is directed towards a pre-assembled panel of shingles or shakes as used in construction as a protective covering for roofs or sidewalls. All embodiments of this invention may be produced using either shingles or shakes, although both terms are not always used in describing aspects of the invention. The pre-assembled shingle set is referred to using different terms, including, a “shingle-set”, a “shingle assembly”, a “shingle-strip”, a “shingle panel”, or a “panel.”[0002]Although shakes and shingles are usually produced from Western Red Cedar, Eastern White Cedar, or Alaskan Yellow Cedar, there are other durable rot resistant woods that can be used effectively. Additionally, various natural and synthetic materials can be used to produce shingles that would be appropriate for use with this invention. For simplicity, the terms “shingle” or “cedar shingle” will be u...
