Installation Instructions

shingle, and the remaining two equally spaced between the two outer nails as illustrated in the diagram. NAILS
MUST BE MINIMUM OF 1-1/4" LONG. See Diagram #3.
RE-ROOFING APPLICATION (second shingle layer): Requires the same nail placement as New Roofing.
NAIL PLACEMENT IS IMPORTANT FOR WIND RESISTANCE. INCORRECTLY PLACED NAILS WILL
VOID WIND COVERAGE OF WARRANTY. (See Section #12)
9.) APPLICATION
Prepare deck with an approved roof underlayment, drip edges and flashings as recommended. Horizontal and
vertical chalk lines should be utilized to ensure proper shingle alignment from eave to ridge.
Starter Course: Use PRO-CUT® STARTER SHINGLE (Pro-Cut Starter Shingles are REQUIRED for the
Signature Select Roofing System) or 3-tab shingle for the starter course (if your roof is NOT qualifying for the
Signature Select Roofing System). Trim off tabs and apply with 1/4" to 3/4" overhang on the eaves. Note the
seal-down feature should be in line with the eave. In order to offset seams, cut 6" off the left end of the first
shingle. Begin application at lower left rake of roof, and then continue across with full-length shingle, nailed
with 4 nails equally spaced across the shingle and nailed 3" up from the eave. See Diagram #4.
Note: Existing product manufactured with a 39 3/8” width (specified for installation at a 5” offset) can be
installed with the new 42” width size format (specified for installation at a 6” offset) as long as you follow the
“when mixing product” instructions.
