<br />GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
<br />• ROOF DECKS: For use on new or reroofing work over well -seasoned, supported wood deck,
<br />Lightly -constructed with maximum 6" (152mm) wide lumber, having adequate nail -holding
<br />capacity and smooth surface. Plywood decking as recommended by The Engineered Wood
<br />Assn. is acceptable. Plywood decks for Class A installations must be 3/8' (10mm) thick or
<br />greater with underlayments as noted below. Shingles must not be fastened directly to insulation
<br />of Insulated deck unless authorized in writing by GAF Materials Corporation. Roof decks and
<br />existing surfacing material must be dry prior to application of shingles.
<br />• UNDERLAYMENT: Underlayment beneath shingles has many benefits, including preventing
<br />wind driven rain from reaching the interior of the building and preventing sap in some wood
<br />decking from reacting with asphalt shingles. Underlayment is also required by many code bod-
<br />ies Consult your local building department for its reqquirements. Where an underlayment is to
<br />be Installed, a breather -type underlayment such as GAFMC's Shingle -A%" i;nderlayment is rec-
<br />ommended Underlayment must be installed flat, without wrinkles
<br />- FASTENERS: Use of nails is recommended. (Staple specific. +t un and application
<br />instructions are available from GAF Materials Corporation, Contractor Services Dept , 1361
<br />Alps Road, Wayne N1 07470.) Use only zinc coated steel or aluminum, 10-12 gauge,
<br />barbed: deformed or smooth shank roofing nails with heads 3/8" (1Omm) to 7/16' (12mm)
<br />in diameter. Fasteners should be long enough to penetrate at least 3/4' (19mm) into wood
<br />decks or just through the plywood decks Fasteners must be driven flush with the surface
<br />of the shingle. Over driving will damage tw.tingle Raised fasteners will interfere with the
<br />sealing of the shingles For normaii four fasteners must be installed per shingle,
<br />a nominal 5-5/8" (143mm) up fron Ito 1r r of the shingle, to penetrate both layers of
<br />the shingle. Fasteners must be n _iwl approximately 1'- 1 112" (25-38mm) and
<br />11-1/2"-12-1/2" (292-318mm) from each ,icle
<br />- WIND RESISTANT: These shingles have a special thermal sealant that firmly bonds the
<br />shingles together after application when exposed to sun and warm temperatures Shingles
<br />installed in all or Winter may riot seal until the fnitowinq Spring. If shingles are damaged by winds
<br />1 Underlayment: Standard Slope-4/12 (333mm/m) or more
<br />Application of underlayment: Gover deck with one layer of underlayment installed without
<br />wrinkles Use only enough nails to hold underlayment in place until covered by shingles
<br />Application of eave flashing: Install eave flashing such as GAF Materials Corporation Weather
<br />Watch" or SlotrTlGUard- Leak Barrier In localities where leaks may be caused by water backing
<br />up behind ice or debn, dams Eave flashing must overhang the roof edge by 3/8" (10mm) and

<br />before sealing of are not exposed to adequate surface temperatures or if the self -sealant gets
<br />dirty, the shingles may never seal Failure to seal under these circumstances results from the
<br />nature of self-sealing shingles and is not a manufacturing defect. To insure immediate sealing.
<br />a ly 4 quarter -sized dabs of shingle tab adhesive on the back of the shingle 1" (25mm) and 13'
<br />33330mm) in from each side and 1 (25mm) up from bottom of the shingle The shingle roust be
<br />pressed firmly into the adhesive
<br />NOTE: Application of excess tab adhesive can cause blistering of the shingle
<br />for maximum wind resistance along rakes, cementshingles to underlayment and each other if]
<br />a 4' (102mm) width of asphalt plastic roof, cement.
<br />NOTE: The film strips on the back of each shingle are to prevent slicking together of the shingles
<br />while in the bundle. Their removal is NOT required during application.
<br />• CANADIAN COLD WEATHER APPLICATIONS: CSA 123.5-M90 mandates that short
<br />gles applied between September 1 and April 30 shall be adhered with a compatible field -applied
<br />adhesive. See Wind Resistant for GAF Materials Corporation's recommendations for [he apple
<br />cation of that adhesive
<br />- MANSARD AND STEEP SLOPE APPLICATIONS: Iof roof slopes greater than 21'
<br />(1750mm/m) per foot (do NOT use on vertio:al side walls), shingle sealing must be enhanced by
<br />hand sealing. After fastening the shingle in place, apply 4 quarter sized dabs of shingle tab ache
<br />sive as indicated in Wind Resistant above The shingle must be pressed firmly into the adhesvvp
<br />- EXPOSURE. 5' (127mm)
<br />-THROUGH VENTILATION: All root structures must be provided with through ventilation to
<br />prevent entrapment of moisture laden au behind roof sheathing Ventilation provisions must at
<br />least meet of exceed current F H A-, H U D or local code minimum requirements
<br />• NON-CORRODiNG METAL DRIP EDGES: R?comrnended along rake and eave edge, (in

<br />shingle. Position the shingles in the second and subsequent courses flush with the tops
<br />of the wide cutouts This results in a 5" (127mm) exposure Continue with full width shingles
<br />across the roof. Strike a chalk line about every 6 courses to check parallel alignment with
<br />eaves. NOTE: Shingles may be laid from either
<br />left or right hand side Start at either rake

<br />If old asphalt shingles are to remain in place, nail down or cut away all loose, curled or liked shin-
<br />glesr replace with new; and)ust before applying the new roofing, sweep the surface clean of all loose
<br />debris Since arty irregularities may show through the new shingles, be sure the underlying shingles
<br />provide a smooth surface. Fasteners must be of sufficient length to penetrate the wood deck at least
<br />3/4" (19mm) or just through plywood. Follow other above instructions for application.
<br />Note: Shingles can be applied over wood shingles when precautions have been taken to provide
<br />an acceptable smooth surface This includes cutting back old shingles at eaves and rakes and
<br />installing new wood edging strips as needed Make surface smooth and use beveled wood strips
<br />if necessary Install #30 underlayment to maintain Class A rating.

<br />Precautionary Notes
<br />Timberline' Sere,.:,hlnyles are fiberglass, self-sealing asprlan shingles Because of the natural
<br />characteristics of the high quality waterproofing material lased these shingles will be stiff in cold
<br />weather and flexible .n hot weather.
<br />1. Bundles should not be. dropped on edge nor should atteinpi he made to separate shingles by
<br />'breaking" over ridge of other bundles.
<br />2 Handle carefully shingles can easily be broken in cold weather or their edges damaged in hot
<br />weather.
<br />3, All exposed materials must be of Class A type.
