Some installation tips for low slope and curved dormers:

  • Always use a self-adhesive Armourbase Stick or Armourbase Pro Plus underlayment for parts with slopes from 9,5° to 20°
  • For the vertical dormer wall it is very handy to use these underlayments as well
  • Use only the necessary amount of nails to fix an underlayment on flatter parts of dormers
  • For slopes between 4° - 9,5° use Armourbase Thermo AD and install shingles without the nails
  • With every valley on the dormer or slope inclination where Closed-Cut method should be applied, follow the rule of overlapping the shingles from the lower slope to the higher slope
  • With IKO Thermo System and torch-on installation apply shingles up to 15° maximum, because from 15° you can use the standard nailing method
  • Don’t forget to use Shingle Stick for all roof details, roof penetrations and especially for metal flashings
