Application instructions
A good approximation is to order an extra 10 - 15 % material (depending on the amount of roof detail) for coverage of the hips, ridges and starter strip.
When applying round shaped (Biber/Beaver) or laminated shingles be sure to order rectangular shingles in a matching colour to cover hips and ridges.
Cut rectangular or diamant shaped shingles into individual pieces by dividing the shingle at the cut-outs.
Apply the hip and ridge shingles double thickness by stacking two pieces and bending them over the hip or the ridge.
In cold weather warm the shingle before bending.
Nail the capping 16 cm from the tab edge and 2,5 cm from each side, exposing each piece 14 cm. Start application from the end of the ridge opposite the direction of the prevailing winds.
