Shingles installation on concrete roof

In certain countries (Italy, Spain, Cuba, Romania,..) shingles are also being installed on concrete roof decks. ArmourShield PLUS is an ideal asphalt roof shingle for this application. For a correct roof application, certain guidelines should be followed. It is important that the roof deck is cleaned and dust free. The use of a bitumen primer is recommended. This primer needs to dry before you can proceed with the following step. You cannot install the ArmourShield PLUS roof shingles directly on the concrete deck. An APP based underlay (like Armourgum IKOnic) should first be torched onto the roof. Then you should nail (and not(!) torch) the roof shingles on the “melted” APP membrane. Thanks to the self-adhesive back of the Armourshield PLUS, these roof shingle tiles will perfectly attach to the membrane and you’ll have a roof that will withstand each weather condition!

Application instructions

A good approximation is to order an extra 10 - 15 % material (depending on the amount of roof detail) for coverage of the hips, ridges and starter strip.

When applying round shaped (Biber/Beaver) or laminated shingles be sure to order rectangular shingles in a matching colour to cover hips and ridges.

Cut rectangular or diamant shaped shingles into individual pieces by dividing the shingle at the cut-outs.

Apply the hip and ridge shingles double thickness by stacking two pieces and bending them over the hip or the ridge.

In cold weather warm the shingle before bending.

Nail the capping 16 cm from the tab edge and 2,5 cm from each side, exposing each piece 14 cm. Start application from the end of the ridge opposite the direction of the prevailing winds.
