Preparatory work before laying: The asphalt shingles are installed on a flat surface of wood greater than or equal to 14 mm wide. Remember to treat your wood with an insecticide and fungicide product before starting the installation of your shingle roof. Indeed, once installed, it will no longer be possible (or very difficult) to apply these protective products. To best prepare for the installation, you can grid your roof using a marking line. The marking should be parallel to the gutter and should start 20cm from the edge of the roof. You will need to grid your roof by drawing a perpendicular line then draw lines, parallel to the first horizontal line. Ideally, space these lines 15cm. This step may seem restrictive, but it is necessary to obtain a uniform installation of the shingle on the roof. Place your Shingle: The installation of the roof shingles is always done from bottom to top. Consider installing a zinc strip around the edges of the roof to protect the coating from rainwater and other bad weather that tends to deteriorate the roofs. Once the application of this zinc strip is made, you can then start laying the shingle:
The bands are to be stapled or nailed to the previous row in five points. It is important to nail the shingle strips from left to right throughout the application to avoid tearing. When installing the shingle, you must ensure that only the patterns of the slate appear. If after this tutorial you still have trouble visualizing how to install the shingles don't panic! The material is usually accompanied by a shingle installation guide at the time of purchase explaining the installation method step by step. It is also advisable to carefully follow the installation instructions indicated on the instructions because the installation methods may vary slightly depending on the brand of shingle you have purchased.
