Installation Instructions

StormMaster Shake GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Atlas Roofing
installing ridge vents follow vent manufacturer’s instructions.
Or, Separate the Pro-Cut® Hip & Ridge shingle into three equal pieces along the perforated lines
provided. Bend each piece lengthwise to provide equal exposure on both sides of the ridge. Allow 5
5/8" of exposure and nail 6" from exposed butt edge with 2 nails—1" from each side. The direction
of the exposed end should be away from the prevailing wind. One bundle of shingles will provide
approximately 31 lineal feet of ridge coverage when applied in accordance with these instructions.
Special Design Instructions: For an enhanced appearance with Pro-Cut® Hip & Ridge, use a
double layer of shingles. Fasten in the same manner as the single layer application shown. Be sure
to use fasteners of sufficient length to penetrate through the roofing material and at least 3/4" into
a lumber deck or through a plywood deck (2" long). One bundle of shingles will provide
approximately 16 lineal feet of the double layered enhanced ridge.
13.) RE-ROOFING OVER ASPHALT SHINGLES
Replace all missing shingles. Split and securely nail all buckles, raised tabs or curled shingles.
Ensure attic ventilation complies with FHA Minimum Property Standards as stated previously. Install
a layer of number 30 felt underlayment to maintain a Class A fire rating. Asphalt Felt is to be
applied over the old shingles and then proceed with the new shingles as if applying a new roof.
IMPORTANT: Atlas recommends a 2” nail for a roof over. See Section 8. ATLAS ROOFING
CORPORATION DOES NOT APPROVE OF RE-ROOFING OVER EXISTING WOOD SHINGLES OR
LAMINATED ASPHALT SHINGLES.
