KO Dynasty Armourzone Shingles
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 end Resistance Limited Wind Resistance Warrenty,�
- Manual sealing is not required in the state of Florida.
- Starter strip shingles must be used at all eaves. Rake application ofstarterstrips 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 at the edges only. Center a minimum 24" wide,
minimum 28 gauge pre-finished/galvanized metal valley liner (8) 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 118" 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 10", 20°, and 30" respectively, from the left
end of the starting shingle and apply to overhang
rake edge by 1/4" to 3/8". 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 (C). 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.
