Installation Instructions

General Installation Instructions
Atlas Roofing
Application Instructions
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.
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).
Maintenance
Every effort should be made to keep roof traffic to a minimum. Regular roof maintenance should be
performed in the cooler parts of the day.
Storage
Store on flat surface. Protect from weather during storage and on job site. Sealant protection tape
is placed on the back of each shingle and does not have to be removed before applying.
AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 40°F, CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE EDGES OR
CORNERS OF SHINGLES. IN EXTREMELY HOT WEATHER (ABOVE 90°F) STORE SHINGLES IN SHADED
AREAS.
