ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for an improved roofing covering for affixing to a roof structure. The apparatus comprises a plurality of rigid base members, each being substantially rectangular and having a first side and a second side and a top end and a bottom end. A groove is disposed on each of the first sides of each of the plurality of base members and a tongue is disposed on each of the second sides of base members. A recess is disposed on each of the bottom ends of the base members and a projection is disposed on each of the top ends of the base members. The base members are affixed to the roof structure. A groove of at least one of the base members engages a tongue of an adjacent base member and a projection of at least one of the base members engages a recess of an adjacent base member. A coating overlaying the base members is applied following affixing to the roof structure for the purpose of sealing the tongue and groove engagements and the projection and recess engagements between adjacent base members and to provide protection to the exterior surfaces of the base members.
