INSTALLING ROOF SHINGLES BARDOLINE

Installing roof shingles is fast. The roof shingles are easy to transport: their packaging and their low weight facilitates handling and storage. They are installed on a full deck. Cutting roof shingles is simple with a cutter.
You have at your disposal a wide range of BARDOLINE bituminous shingles qualities, colours and forms to satisfy the needs of your customers.
Installing roof shingle is easy with standard tools:   

  • Tools: 
    • Hammer
    • Cutter
    • Meter
    • Level.

 

  • Accessories: 
    • Large headed galvanised nails
    • ONDUMASTIC
    • ONDUTISS STRONG
    • BITULINE

 

Installing roof shingles step by step

Good to know:

  • A full deck, like OSB, is needed to install shingles. 
  • Install shingles starting from the eave.
  • Cut the shingles on the back of the granulated face.
  • Installing roof shingles varies according to the slope and the climatic zone of the project. Call us to find out what the constraints of your project are.
     

Prepare installation 

  • Check the structure so that it is perfectly flat - an irregularity is unattractive and can cause infiltration
  • Seal by covering the roof with Ondutiss Strong parallel to the eave
  • Ensure 10 cm horizontal overlap and 15 cm at the ends 
  • Fix the underlayer securely with staples and large-headed nails. 

BARDOLINE Installation 1 - support

Fix Bardoline 

  • Guide wide-headed BARDOLINE nails: heads must be straight and deep without damaging the shingle.
  • For steep slopes (> 60 °), use additional nails and ONDUMASTIC to seal.

Install roof shingles 

  • Start installing roof shingles from the bottom and go on to the ridge. Start each row by the gable end.
  • 1st strip: Prepare the first strip by cutting the head lap of the shingles. Shorten the shingle of one tab so that the joints are not aligned with the 1st row.
  • 1st course: Start with a complete shingle and continue on the first row, fixing the shingles as you go.
  • 2nd and following courses:
    • Shorten the shingle of a tab. Secure the shingle so that the lower end of the tab aligns with the top of the 1st course shingle cut out.
    • For 3rd course, shorten one tab.
    • For the 4th and the following courses, always shift the shingle laying by shortening by half a tab
  • Glue the rakes with ONDUMASTIC for a better seal.
