US Patent 11459759 Roof shingles having perforations

Roof shingles are provided, as well as methods of fabricating and using the shingles and roofs comprising the shingles. A shingle can include a plurality of perforations in the protruding part thereof to significantly reduce the pressure in the leading edge, the remainder of the protruding part, and/or in the area behind the sealing strip of the shingle. The perforations can be disposed in the protruding part of the shingle down from the sealing strip. Any water entering the perforations can therefore be blocked by the sealing strips and will flow down the roof slope.
