Abstract

A shingle includes a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, an upper
end, a lower end, a first side, and a second side. The body has a width
defined as the distance between the first and second sides and a length
defined by the distance between the upper and lower ends. In a preferred
embodiment, the shingle also includes a water diverter tab attached to the
first side for channeling water onto the top surface of a lower adjacent
shingle, and a recess adjacent to the second side for receiving the water
diverter tab of a laterally adjacent shingle in an interlocking manner. An
anchor tab attached to the second side s cures the lower ends of adjacent,
interlocked shingles.
