Application Instructions for

FIBERGLAS

Mineral Surfaced

Roll Roofing

Not to be used as part of a Built-Up

Roofing System. Apply over wood decks

when incline is not less than 1" per foot.

The deck must drain freely at all points.

General: It is suggested that roll roofing not be

applied at temperatures below 50°F. When it is

necessary to handle the material below this limit,

it should be warmed before unrolling in order to

avoid cracking.

The roll roofing should be cut into maximum 18'

lengths and stacked in a pile on a smooth surface

before application until they flatten out. This is

important to prevent wrinkling after application.

Roof Deck: The roof deck shall be dry, firm,

smooth, and constructed of a minimum

⁄8" thick

plywood,

⁄16" oriented strand board (OSB) or dry

well-seasoned lumber, nominal 1" thick, not over

6" in width. Boards shall be laid close together

and securely nailed. If plywood or OSB is used

it should be as recommended by the American

Plywood Association, Underwriters Laboratories

Inc.

or local building codes. Plywood and OSB

sheathing must be spaced a minimum of

⁄8" and

maximum ¼".

Preparation of Roof Deck

New Construction: Install metal drip edges at

eaves and rakes. Sweep roof deck clean of loose

particles. Apply one layer of underlayment of #15

asphalt saturated felt over the entire roof surface.

Lay in a horizontal manner lapping each course

over the lower course 2"; and where ends join, lap

them 4". Lay underlayment at least 6" over all hips,

ridges and valleys.

Re-Roofing: Remove any slag or gravel. Cut open

all blisters and buckles, and nail both edges to give

a smooth surface; also nail edges of large cracks.

Remove loose nails and drive into sound deck.

Before beginning application of roofing, sweep roof

deck clean of all loose particles and dirt.

Application

Nails: Use large head corrosion-resistant nails, 11

or 12-gauge, with heads at least

⁄8" in diameter.

Nails should be long enough to penetrate into

wood deck at least ¾", or completely through

plywood deck or OSB a minimum of

⁄8".

Concealed Nail Method

Edge Strips: Place 9" wide strips of roll roofing

along the eaves and rakes, positioning them to

overhang the deck ¼" to

⁄8". Fasten the strips with

rows of nails located 1" and 8" from the roof edge

and spaced 4" on center in each row.

First Course: Apply the first course with a full-

width strip of roll roofing so that its lower edge

and ends are flush with the edge strips at the

eaves and rakes. Fasten the upper edge with nails

so that the next course will overlap them a mini-

mum of 1". Lift the lower edge of the first course

and cover the edge strips with lap cement. In cold

weather, turn the course back carefully to avoid

damaging the roofing material. Press the lower

edge and rake ends of the first course firmly into

the cement-covered edge strips. Work from one

side of the sheet to the other to avoid wrinkling

or bubbling.

End laps should be 6" wide and cemented over

the full lap area with the recommended cement.

Nail the underlying sheet in rows 1" and 5" from

the end of the sheet with the nails spaced 4" on

center and slightly staggered. End laps in succeed-

ing courses must not line up with one another.

Second and Succeeding Courses: Apply the sec-

ond course so that it overlaps the first course at

least 2". Fasten the upper edge to the deck, cement

the laps and finish installing the sheet in the same

manner as the first course. Follow the same pro-

cedure for each successive course. Do not apply

nails within 18" of the rake until cement has been

applied to the edge strip and the overlying strip

has been pressed down.

Hips and Ridges: Trim, butt and nail the sheets

as they meet at a hip or ridge. Next, cut 12" x

36" strips from the roll roofing and bend them

lengthwise to lay 6" on each side of the joint. Do

not bend the strips in cold weather without first

warming them. These will be used as “shingles”

to cover the joint, each one overlapping the

other by 6" as shown in Figure 2.

Start hips at the bottom and ridges at the end

opposite the direction of the prevailing winds. To

guide the installation, snap a chalk line 5½" from

and parallel to the joint on both sides. Apply

asphalt plastic cement evenly over the entire area

between chalk lines from one side of the joint to

the other. Fit the first folded strip over the joint

and press it firmly into the cement, driving two

nails 5½" from the edge of the end that will be

lapped. Cover the 6" lap on this strip with lap

cement. Then place the next strip over it. Nail

and cement in the same manner as the first strip.

Continue the same procedure until the hip or

ridge is finished.
