4) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HIGH WIND WARRANTY:
TAMKO also requires the use of TAMKO
®
starter shingles including sealant
strip at eaves and rakes. Alternatively, along rakes, cement shingles to the
underlayment and each other in a 4" width of any adhesive meeting ASTM
D4586, Type I. Caution: Apply ONLY a thin uniform layer of adhesive less than
1/8" thick. Excessive amounts can cause blistering of the shingles and may
soften the asphalt in certain underlayments resulting in the asphalt flowing,
dripping and staining.
High Wind Application is offered on new construction or complete tear-off
applications only. It is not offered for re-cover applications. If High Wind
Application requirements are not followed, the High Wind Application Warranty
MPH, as stated on Table I in the Limited Warranty and Arbitration Agreement,
reverts to the Standard Application Wind Warranty MPH limit. (See High Wind
Warranty, Mansard Roof or Steep Slope Fastening Pattern illustrated above.)
“High Wind Application” means application of shingles in strict accordance
with the High Wind Warranty Fastening Pattern application instructions stated
previously. See local building codes for additional nailing requirements.
CAUTION: ALL FASTENERS FOR MANSARD AND HIGH WIND APPLICATIONS MUST
BE DRIVEN INTO THE COMMON BOND AS SHOWN IN THE HIGH WIND WARRANTY,
