Application Instructions for

I. ROOF DECK

These shingles are for application to roof decks consisting of

plywood or sheathing boards capable of receiving and retaining

fasteners, and to inclines of not less than 2 in. per foot. For roofs

having pitches 2 in. per foot to less than 4 in. per foot, refer to

special instructions titled “Low Slope Application”. For roofs having

pitches greater than 21 in. per foot, refer to special instructions titled

“Mansard Roof or Steep Slope Roof”. Shingles must be applied

properly. TAMKO assumes no responsibility for leaks or defects

resulting from improper application, or failure to properly prepare

the surface to be roofed over.

NEW ROOF DECK CONSTRUCTION: Roof deck must be smooth,

dry and free from warped surfaces. It is recommended that metal

drip edges be installed at eaves and rakes.

PLYWOOD: All plywood shall be exterior grade as dened by the

Engineered Wood Association. Plywood shall be a minimum of 3/8

in. thickness and applied in accordance with the recommendations

of the Engineered Wood Association.

SHEATHING BOARDS: Boards shall be well-seasoned tongue-

and-groove boards and not over 6 in. nominal width. Boards shall

be a 1 in. nominal minimum thickness. Boards shall be properly

spaced and nailed.

2. VENTILATION

Inadequate ventilation of attic spaces can cause accumulation of

moisture in winter months and a build up of heat in the summer.

These conditions can lead to:

1. Vapor Condensation

2. Buckling of shingles due to deck movement.

3. Rotting of wood members.

4. Premature failure of roof.

To insure adequate ventilation and circulation of air, place louvers

of sufcient size high in the gable ends and/or install continuous

ridge and soft vents. FHA minimum property standards require

one square foot of net free ventilation area to each 150 square feet

of space to be vented, or one square foot per 300 square feet if a

vapor barrier is installed on the warm side of the ceiling or if at least

one half of the ventilation is provided near the ridge. If the ventilation

openings are screened, the total area should be doubled.

IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE

ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

3. FASTENERS

WIND CAUTION: Extreme wind velocities can damage these

shingles after application when proper sealing of the shingles does

not occur. This can especially be a problem if the shingles are

applied in cooler months or in areas on the roof that do not receive

direct sunlight. These conditions may impede the sealing of the

adhesive strips on the shingles. The inability to seal down may be

compounded by prolonged cold weather conditions and/or blowing

dust. In these situations, hand sealing of the shingles is required. To

insure immediate sealing, apply 4 quarter-sized dabs of TAM-PRO

Premium SBS Adhesive or TAMKO Tam-Seal Adhesive on the back of

the shingle 1 in. (25mm) and 13 in. (330mm) in from each side and 1

in. (25mm) up from the bottom of the shingle. Press shingle rmly into

the adhesive. For maximum wind resistance along rakes, install any

TAMKO starter shingle including sealant or cement shingles to the

underlayment and each other in a 4 in. (102mm) width of TAM-PRO

SBS Adhesive or TAMKO Tam-Seal Adhesive. Caution: Apply ONLY a

thin uniform layer of adhesive less than 1/8 in. (3mm) thick. Excessive

amounts can cause blistering of the shingles and may soften the

asphalt in certain underlayments resulting in the asphalt owing,

dripping and staining. Shingles must also be fastened according to

the fastening instructions described below.

Correct placement of the fasteners is critical to the performance

of the shingle. If the fasteners are not placed as shown in the

diagram and described below, this will result in the termination of

TAMKO’s liabilities under the Limited Warranty. TAMKO will not be

responsible for damage to shingles caused by winds in excess of

the applicable mph as stated in the Limited Warranty. See Limited

Warranty for details.

FASTENING PATTERNS: Fasteners must be placed 5-1/2 in. from

the bottom edge of the shingle, penetrating through the common

bond, and located horizontally as follows:

1) Standard Fastening Pattern. (For use on decks with slopes 2

in. per foot to 21 in. per foot.) One fastener 1 in. from each end and

one 12 in. from each end of the shingle for a total of 4 fasteners.

(See Standard Fastening Pattern illustrated below).

THESE ARE THE MANUFACTURER’S APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ROOFING CONDITIONS DESCRIBED.

TAMKO BUILDING PRODUCTS, INC. ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LEAKS OR OTHER ROOFING DEFECTS RESULTING FROM

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL ADVERSELY

AFFECT COVERAGE UNDER THE LIMITED WARRANTY. SEE THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR DETAILS.

THIS PRODUCT IS COVERED BY A LIMITED WARRANTY, THE TERMS OF WHICH ARE PRINTED ON THE WRAPPER.

IN COLD WEATHER (BELOW 40°F), CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE EDGES AND CORNERS OF THE SHINGLES.

IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to remove the plastic strip from the back of the shingles.
