Claim Text:
1. A building construction material, comprising: an asphaltic roofing membrane; a single layer of standard large size roofing granules applied to an upper surface of the roofing membrane; a liquid coating applied to the upper surface of the roofing membrane, the liquid coating consisting essentially of: a mixture of water and a finely divided material having a particle size of less than about 0.004″ and a reflectivity of over about 70% dispersed therein and a binder, wherein the finely divided material is present in an amount of about 5% to about 50% by weight, the binder 0.5% to about 20% by weight, with the remainder being water present in an amount from 50% to about 94.5% by weight, the mixture having a viscosity of about 50-6,000 cP at 25 degrees C., the liquid coating applied to the roofing membrane at a temperature at which the roofing membrane is tacky, the liquid coating drying to an applied dry thickness of about 0.2 mils to about 2.4 mils adhered to the upper surface, the upper surface hardening upon cooling, retaining the dry coating thereon, wherein the roofing membrane has a portion of the upper surface thereof between the granules that is uncovered by granules, wherein the coating at least partially covers the portion of the upper surface between the granules while preserving the granular appearance of the upper surface, the building construction material having a reflectivity ≧70%.
