SPECIAL INSTALLATION NOTES
Letters to the right of each heading refer to these notes
A:
This flashing has a return flange to act as a channel for water to
run down the roof under the shingles. Be careful not to flatten this
return flange. Nails must not penetrate the flashing within this
channel area. Fasten the flashing to the roof with Nail Clips 300
mm on centre. Also, the shingle at the bottom of this channel
must be notched to allow the water to run out. Shingles must be
secured with a Nail Clip outside the return flange.
B:
Insulate aluminum flashings from contact with existing metal or
masonry with a coating of roofing cement and a layer of roofing
underlay.
C:
Install shingles into this flashing with a 6 mm gap between the
edge of the shingle and the inside of the flashing, to allow water
to run down the roof.
D:
If starting shingles out of this flashing and proceeding to the left,
remember to stagger succeeding courses with full, ½, ¾ and
¼ shingles.

HEALTH AND SAFETY E:

Fascia Starter Strip and Barge Treatment E Lineal Hip and Ridge Flashing
Fold overhanging underlay against fascia and apply Fascia Starter
Strip (SH-402,) at the eaves. Nail to roof deck 300 mm on center. At a
corner, snip the drip edge bead and top lock to bend Fascia Starter
Strip around corner. (see Illustration 1c) Join two Starter Strips
together by snipping 25 mm from top lock and sliding the two parts
together, nested inside each other. (see Illustration 1a)
Two barge treatments are available: An all-in-one lineal Barge Edge
Trim, (SH-417) or Barge Caps, for a realistic shake look (SH-406).
Barge Caps require the prior installation of Barge Trim (SH-405), and
are only available for Rustic Shingle (SH-401).
Barge Edge Trim ACDE
Plumb cut the trim, and snip according to Illustration 1a to
accommodate Fascia Starter Strip. In cyclonic wind areas, face nail the
drip edge to barge fascia with trim nails and apply Touch-Up Paint
(SH-475). (see Illustration 1b)
Barge Trim & Caps ADE
Install Barge Trim (SH-405) fastening with Nail Clips 300 mm on center
to the roof deck. Install shingles to overhang the barge edge by 20
mm. After shingle installation, Barge Caps (SH-406) are applied to the
ends of the shingles and nailed to barge fascia through pre-punched
holes, or riveted to shingles or Barge Trim. At the ridge, barge trim from
one side should be bent down and lapped over the other.
Valley Gutter ADE
Lay Valley Gutter (SH-425) in place and trim Valley Gutter 20 mm past
the eave and fold into Fascia Starter Strip. Top of Valley Gutter flashing
should extend past top of valley by 100 mm and be folded down. Run
250 mm over downhill portions and seal. Shingles must be cut and
bent to lap the Valley Gutter ridge dams. When a shingle course
reaches the valley, the shingle that runs into the valley must be
trimmed and folded over the Valley Gutter ridge dam (the raised fold
between the middle of the valley and the return flange). The shingle
should be marked 20 mm past the ridge dam at the top of the shingle
and 45 mm past it at the bottom of the shingle. Draw a line to connect
these marks and cut. Then fold the resulting angled flange down over
the Valley Gutter ridge dam so that the bottom of the flange laps the
flange of the shingle below (see Illustration 2a and 2b). When
installing gutters, the underlay must extend down and inside the gutter.
The drip leg of the Fascia Starter Strip must also be installed on the
inside of the gutter. (see illustration 1d)
Shingle
Begin shingle installation at lower left corner. Slide bottom lock of
shingle into Starter Strip and into barge treatment. To fully engage
shingle interlocks, tap with hammer handle until shingle locks securely
on bottom and left. Drive one nail through the pre-punched nailing tab
in the upper right corner of the shingle, and fasten two Nail Clips to the
middle of the top lock and nail it also.
Continue installing shingles left to right, eave to ridge by engaging the
bottom and left locks to surrounding shingles and/or Fascia Starter
Strip. For maximum wind resistance and to avoid a "pattern"
appearance on the roof, successive courses are staggered by starting
with ½, ¾ and ¼ shingles. The fifth course from the eave should start
with a full shingle, then the pattern repeats. Cut shingles and remove
the left portion, keeping the section with the nailing tab. See Stagger
Template on Rustic Shingle box for assistance.
Hip Caps D
Where the butt of a shingle reaches hip line, fold excess over hip line.
Trim away excess which extends more than 75 mm past hip line. Use
extra nailing clips on shingles at the hip. Hip Caps (SH-408) are
installed by locking the front edge of each hip cap onto the butt edge of
the shingles on either side of the hip. The top lock of the shingle is slit
just enough to allow the Hip Cap to extend its full length up the roof.
When you install the next course of shingles above the Hip Cap, face-
nail through the shingle into the cap below, with three nails on either
side of the hip line. These nails should be in a part of the shingle which
will be covered by the next Hip Cap to be installed (see Illustration 3).
Ridge Caps
The ridge must be watertight before installing Ridge Caps. Either:
1) bend the top course of shingles over the ridge by at least 50 mm or
2) field-form a flashing to make the ridge watertight. Install a field-
formed starter piece on the ridge at the gable end to lock the first cap
over. The first cap must either install into Barge Edge Trim as a
shingle would, or be bent and nailed to gable fascia if Gable Caps are
used.
Install Ridge Caps by engaging back flange into front flange of
previously-installed caps. Fasten with two Nail Clips on each return
flange (4 per cap). Ridge Caps may be started at both gable ends and
work toward the middle, where a trimmed cap attached with sheet
metal screws will join them. Seal screw heads (see Illustration 4).
2
Install timber vertically over the hip or ridge line. Install underlay at
least 60 mm up both sides of the timber. Wrap an additional piece of
underlay over the top of the timber, existing underlay and extend it
approximately 70 mm out onto the roof. Install shingles up to the
timber. Field-form a flashing to extend down and 100 mm out over the
top of the shingles below. The top portion of the flashing should extend
to near the top of the timber. This flashing should be formed for both
sides of the timber. Field-form a cap to fit over the timber and side
flashings. Fix the cap to the timber with aluminum ring shank nails.
(see Illustration 5)
Parallel Apron Flashing ABCDE
Parallel Apron Flashing (SH-421) is a “J” channel with a return flange
on the roof deck and a leg extending up the wall which must be
inserted behind the wall cladding. If the cladding is masonry, treat as
transverse flashing, below (see Illustration 6a and 6b).
Transverse Apron Flashing
When a course of shingles ends at a vertical wall or other vertical
surface, field-form a transverse apron flashing to extend down and 100
mm out over the top of the shingles below. The top portion of the
transverse apron flashing must extend at least 100 mm up the wall and
behind the wall cladding and building wrap. The roofing underlay must
extend up the wall at least 100 mm, and it must be behind the flashing.
(see Illustration 7)
Chimney Flashing ABCE
Make a 15 mm cut in the masonry above existing flashings and parallel
to the roof deck. On the downhill side of the chimney, field-form a
flashing to be received into this cut, extend down and 100 mm out on
top of the installed shingles below. On sides of chimney, field-form
flashings to be received into the cuts, extend down the chimney and
100 mm out onto the deck, where a 20 mm ridge must stand. The
flashings must continue 75 mm beyond this ridge, where they must
have a 15 mm return flange. Shingles must be formed over this ridge
similar to Valley Gutter ridge dams, above. The downhill ends of
chimney side flashings must rest on top of the downhill chimney
flashing. The uphill side of the chimney must be cricketed and a
flashing must be formed to be received into the 15 mm cut, extend
down over the cricket, and rest on top of the chimney side flashings.
The uphill portion of this flashing must lay beneath the shingles above.
Parallel Apron Flashing can be used in place of the field-formed side
flashings. The bottom of the Parallel Apron Flashing must bend above
the lower shingles (see Illustration 8).
Vent Pipe Flashing AE
Bring underlay 40 mm up around pipe, and add an additional piece of
underlay extending 450 mm to each side, the downhill side of which
must rest on top of the shingles beneath the vent pipe flashing. Seal
underlay seams, especially around pipe, with roofing cement. Bend 10
mm return flanges on the sides and top of the flashing. Install the vent
pipe flashing (SH-531 to SH-534) when enough shingles have been
installed that the bottom of the flashing will lay on top of shingles
below. Fasten the flashing with Nail Clips attached to the return
flanges. Then install shingles around the pipe, cutting as necessary to
allow only the pipe and neoprene boot to show (see Illustration 9).
