DIRECTIONS
NOTE: SHINGLES MUST BE APPLIED PROPERLY. WE ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LEAKS OR DEFECTS RESULTING
FROM POOR APPLICATION OR FAILURE TO PROPERLY PREPARE THE SURFACE TO BE ROOFED OVER, OR FAILURE TO
PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH MINIMUM PROPERTY STANDARDS REQUIREMENTS. REVIEW
ALL APPLICABLE BUILDING CODES, MINIMUM PROPERTY STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO APPLYING THESE
SHINGLES USING THE APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOUND ON THE WRAPPER. PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN STACKING
BUNDLES ON SLOPED ROOFS.
ROOF DECK: Must be smooth, firm, dry and securely nailed. Plywood must be exterior grade, conforming to building
code requirements. Half -inch plywood Is recommended for best deck performance. The installation of asphalt shingles on
dimensional lumber (including shiplaptboard decks) is not recommended as it may potentially cause buckling problems.
Buckling is not covered by our Limited Warranty. REROOFING: Split and re -nail curled or buckled shingles, replace any
missing shingles, remove loose or protruding nails, and sweep surface clean. Roof slope should be 4:12 or steeper. For
slopes 4:12 to 2:12, see special underiayment requirements outlined below. Never apply asphalt shingles to roof slopes
less than 2:12.
EAVE PROTECTION: Apply eave protection as per building code requirements, overhanging eaves by a nominal 1/4"
minimum and extending up the roof at least 24" beyond the interior wall line. Ice & Water Protector is recommended for
best performance, applied according to instructions printed on each wrapper.
UNDERLAYMENT: For areas where the roof slope is less than 4" per foot down to 2" per foot, use one layer of ICE AND
WATER PROTECTOR,. applied according to instructions printed_ on each wrapper. Alternately, use 2 layers of asphalt
saturated felt (or equivalent), the first sheet overlapping the eave protection by 19", followed by full 36" widths
overlapping each preceding course by 19". (NOTE: IF THESE PROCEDURES.ARE FOLLOWED, SHINGLES APPLIED TO SLOPES
3:12 TO 4:12 WILL BE WARRANTED FOR THE FULL WARRANTY TERM FOR THE SHINGLE. SHINGLES ON SLOPES 2:12 TO
3:12 WILL BE WARRANTED FOR 12 YEARS.) For areas where the roof slope is 6" per foot down to 4" per foot, it is strongly
recommended to cover the remainder of the deck with one ply asphalt saturated felt (or equivalent) laid parallel to the
eaves, with 2" horizontal laps and 4 end laps. Apply metal drip edges on top of any underlay along rake edges and
directly to the deck'along eaves.
CHALK ONES: Sufficient chalk lines should be struck -to ensure accurate vertical and horizontal alignment of shingles.
Vertical chalk lines every4 to 5 shingle lengths are recommended:
FLASHINGS: Base flashing should he in place before shingles are applied. Cap flashings of sheet metal and base flashing
of metal or mineral surfaced roofing should be used at chimneys, skylights, vents, walls and other vertical surfaces and
sealed with asphalt plastic cement. Flashing shall conform to the requirements of applicable building codes and good
roofing practice.

Application Instructions
NAILING: Use galvanized (zinc coated) roofing nails, 11 or 12 gauge, with at least 3/8' diameter heads, long enough
to penetrate through plywood or 3/4" into boards. Use 4 nails per shingle placed in the nailing area, either between
the lines or on the lines, spaced as shown below. Drive nails straight so that nail head is flush with, but not cutting into
shingle surface.
NAILING ON STEEP SLOPES: On slopes of 21 ° per foot (600) or more, use 6 instead of 4 nails per shingle placed as shown
below. Ensure that no nail is within 2" of a, joint/cutout of the underlying shingle. NOTE: Each nail MUST penetrate both
layers of the shingle by nailing into the lower nail line only. Normal nail zone cannot be used to ensure penetrating both
layers. Seal down each shingle at time of application with three 1" diameter (approx. size and thickness of a quarter)
spots of asphalt plastic cement placed under the shingle 2" above the bottom edge and equally spaced along the shingle.
Apply plastic cement in moderation since excessive amounts may cause blistering. CAUTION: Shingles should seal to the
underlying course when the factory applied asphalt sealant is sufficiently warmed by the heat of direct sunlight. When
application conditions might limit the effectiveness of the sealing strip, such as in cool weather or in areas subject to high
winds or blowing dust, shingle adherence should be ensured through manual sealing as described above.
To ensure coverage under the High Wind Resistance Limited Wind Resistance Warranty;
- Manual sealing is not required in the state of Florida.
- Starter strip shingles must be used at all eaves Rake application of starter strips is not required.
OPEN METAL VALLEY: (FIGURE 1) For longer roof performance, metal valleys are recommended. Complete valley flashing
before shingles are applied. Center a 36" width strip of ICE & WATER PROTECTOR (A) in the valley. Ensure flashing is tight
to the deck, then fasten with only enough nails to hold in place, nailing atthe edges only. Center a minimum 24" wide,
minimum 28 gauge pre-finished/galvanized metal valley liner (e) in the valley, and fasten with only enough nails to hold
in place, nailing at the edges only. Snap two chalk lines (C) the full length of the valley, 6" apart at the top and increasing

in width 1/8" per foot towards the bottom. When the shingles are
being applied, lay them over the valley flashing, trim the ends to
the chalk line, and cut a 2" triangle off the corner to direct water
into the valley (D). Embed the valley end of each shingle into a 3"
band of asphalt plastic cement (E), and nail the shingles 2" back
from the chalk line, 7 3/8" down from the top edge of the shingle
CLOSED CUT OR WOVEN VALLEYS ARE ALSO ACCEPTABLE.
STARTER COURSE: (FIGURE 2) Use Leading Edge Plus shingles or
if 3-tab shingles are used, cut off the tabs along a line level with
the top of the cutouts. Install the starter course with the factory
applied sealant adjacent to the eaves overhanging the rake edge
and eaves by a nominal 1/4" minimum. Begin starter course (A)
with a shingle cut 4" short so that joints will not coincide with
joints between first course shingles.
FIRST COURSE: Start with a complete shingle applied flush with
starter course at rake and eave (B). Nail as described above and
continue across roof with full shingles.
SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH COURSES: (FIGURE 2)
Trim off 104, 20", and 300 respectively, from the left
end of the starting shingle and apply to overhang
rake edge by 1/4" to 3/80. Continue each course
across the roof with full shingles butting ends loosely.
Align the bottom. edge of the shingles with the tops
of the saw teeth of the shingles in the underlying
course (Q. Note that other offsets between 4" -10"
are permitted. c
FIFTH AND SUCCEEDING COURSES: Repeat the
sequence of the first four courses up the roof.
For maximum wind protection, cement shingles
at rake edges.
