ABSTRACT:
A shingle and a method of applying the same to a roof is disclosed, in which the shingles are wind-resistant, opposing being torn from a roof by wind or the like. The shingles each include a pair of vertically spaced-apart lines extending horizontally across the lower ends of butt portions of the shingles, with at least a lower-most line being a line of sealant, and defining between the vertically spaced-apart lines a fastener zone, which fastener zone may have fastening spots therein that, in turn, may define a fastening line. When shingles in accordance with this invention are applied to a roof, the line of adhesive connection between tab portions of shingles in an overlying course are secured to lower ends of butt portions of the shingles of a subjacent course, sufficiently low below the tab portions of shingles, as to preclude any significant engagement by wind or the like that may tend to lift the tab portion off the sealant line. Additionally, the person applying shingles to a roof is directed where to apply the fasteners, so that a greater number of fasteners secure a given shingle to the roof.
