Weather Protection You Can Count On

Easy Fixing and Installation
Installation is straightforward, whether you're a seasoned roofer or tackling your first roofing job. Each shingle strip should be nailed twice using large flat-headed nails—ELH nails are recommended. For added strength, apply a strong roofing adhesive like CT1 or The Business to secure the perimeter of each strip.
Plus, the shingles feature a heat-activated adhesive strip on the top side. This helps the shingles bond naturally when laid in warm conditions, enhancing long-term grip and water resistance.
