A roofing membrane underlayment material includes a fibrous mat generally encapsulated within a non-adhesive asphalt coating, the resulting encapsulated mat having an adhesive asphalt layer applied to one surface thereof, typically the bottom surface. An acrylic, talc or granular coating is applied to the surface of the encapsulated mat that is not in contact with the adhesive asphalt layer. The non-adhesive asphalt coating is characterized in that it includes a high filler content made possible by the use of non-oxidized flux asphalt to which has been added a small percentage of an asphalt additive such as radial or linear polymer or other elastomer. The resulting membrane, when applied to a roofing deck, provides a high traction surface that will not adhere to shingles and provides an effective waterproofing seal on the roofing deck and is flexible in both hot and cold environments. |

A bituminous coating sheet for a base, and a method for the manufacture of a bituminous coating sheet for a base is provided that includes a bitumen-impregnated core material that has been coated with a top-face bitumen and a rear-face bitumen and which has an outermost layer of welding bitumen arranged in zones on a side of the sheet to be adhered to the base. The layer of rear-face bitumen has thereon a layer of a grainy mineral material in a matrix including a thermoplastic polymer. The grainy mineral material layer is between the rear-face bitumen and the outermost layer of welding bitumen and provides a barrier for melted rear-face bitumen when heat energy is applied to the welding bitumen during application of the sheet. Ninety-five percent by weight of the grainy mineral material consists of grains that are smaller than 0.15 mm. |

An exterior finishing system including a bond-compatible composite membrane having a first self-adhesive material layer and a second rough fabric layer, and its use as an intermediate layer between a building structure substrate and exterior finishing materials is provided. Unlike conventional composite membranes, the bond-compatible composite membrane has a rough surface that allows bonding materials to adhere to it. Therefore, mechanical devices are not needed to attach the exterior finishing materials to the building structure. |

An elongated fibrous insulation blanket is pre-cut for custom fitting the insulation blanket into wall, floor, ceiling and roof cavities of different widths formed by the framework of a building. The blanket has at least one, preferably two or three, series of cuts extending between major surfaces of the blanket with successive cuts of each series of cuts being separated by a series of separable connectors located intermediate the major surfaces of the blanket. Each series of separable connectors hold together adjacent sections of the blanket for handling, but are separable by hand so that the blanket can be handled as a unit for insulating a cavity having a predetermined width or easily separated by hand into two or more sections at one or more of the series of separable connectors for insulating a cavity having a lesser width. Either major surface of the blanket may have a facing bonded thereto with one or more perforated lines or overlapping tabs in the facing permitting the facing to be separated by hand at each series of cuts and separable connectors. Preferably, the perforations of any perforated line(s) in the facing are closed by the bonding agent bonding the facing to the blanket so that the facing functions as a vapor barrier in spite of the perforations. |
