This shingle application is similar to the regular shingle application concept which starts with a starter strip (a shingle with tabs cut off). Apply by heating/flaming the top layer of Armourbase Thermo AD until the polypropylene mat fabric disappears and the top bitumen coating is melted.

Lay the shingle to the melted top adhesive layer of the membrane in its proper place. If necessary, lift the upper part of the shingle with a trowel. Heat up the section of the membrane just underneath the lifted shingle. The back of the shingle should be warmed in order to get the best possible adhesion.

Continue with the diagonal installation of shingles, without using nails. It’s not necessary to torch the shingles from the top. Excessive heat can damage shingles. Essentially shingles are applied for aesthetic reasons only and the waterproofing properties derived from the roofing membrane. For the torch-on method and slopes up to 45° the fixation of shingles with nails is not necessary.

The Armourbase Thermo AD membrane will bring about the total, monolithic adherence between the support and the bituminous shingles.

Torch only on the upper face of the membrane and stick the shingles in the activated Armourbase Thermo AD. Do not torch the shingles!
