When intalling roof coverings,follow applicable codes and manufacturer's suggested instructions.Some roof coverings require a slip-sheet in addition to
convent!3nal underlayment.Where slip-sheets are required,they should be installed over ZIP System sheathing panels.
Note:Vi!jt zipsystem.com for updates and installation details.
Asphalt.' iberglass Shingles
Apply asphalt shingles directly to ZIP System sheathing.For roofs with a slope of 2/12 or greater but less than 4/12,additional underlayment may be required.
