Application instructions

Easy application (for professional roofers):

  1. Base is a wooden or concrete underdeck construction with a waterproof IKO underlayment.
  2. Apply roof shingles with IKO nails.
  3. You would need +/- 35 pc/m². Valley, hips and ridges are easy to install without purchasing a huge range of extra accessories.
  4. Use Superglass 3TAB shingles to cover hips and ridges.
  5. Foresee solid insulation and also good ventilation for an optimal and long-lasting roof - improving heating and cooling costs.

Eaves, rakes, walls, chimneys, roof windows, etc. require metal flashings.

Different results of hexagonal shingle on hips

Basic installation and slideshow

1. Start with a full tab and nail the cap shingle with 2 nails 2,5 cm from each side and from the bottom edge. Remember that the nails must be long enough to penetrate both the few layers of shingles and the roof deck. This protects the hip or ridge against wind blow-offs.

Tip: Start the application from the end of the ridge opposite to the direction of prevailing winds.

2. Continue with the 2nd piece of cap shingle (cut-out part) and nail this piece in the top corners also 2,5 cm from each side.

Tip: To assist in proper alignment, lay the last piece of capping at the end of hip or ridge and snap a chalk line parallel to the hip or ridge. Your capping application will be perfectly straight.

3. The 3rd piece of capping must continue with a full tab and the position of nails is the same as with the 1st piece. Remember: “Exposed nails are not permitted”

4. The 4th piece is combined from two halves which are fixed with two nails each in opposite corners. These 2 half-tab pieces have to be fixed with 4 nails in total!

5. Repeat the sequence of the first four pieces up the hip or ridge. The final shingle should be set and the exposed nail heads of this shingle should be covered with Shingle Stick.

Tip: Sprinkle a few granules from the bundle over these Shingle Stick’s dots to make it aesthetically nice.

Remember: “Prior to application in cold weather, store hip and ridge shingles in heated area to allow for easier bending!”
