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.
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.
Fix the ridge
- Cut triangles at the notches of each leg to form each shingle ridge element.
- Fix the triangles on ridge in the opposite direction to prevailing winds.
- Secure them with 2 nails on each side and an bead of ONDUMASTIC.
