Remember the Dos and Don'ts:

DO

  • GAP every shake 3/8"
    • not gapping will void the warranty
  • Nail or screw below / inside the nail markings
    • Missing the nail markings will void the warranty
  • Leave a minimum of 1 ½” between keyways from the next lower course
    • Too close of keyways, will void the warranty
  • Install Enviroshake directly on the roof surface, over the underlayment
    • DO NOT install over existing roofing
  • Use 1 ½ inch ring shank roofing nails
    • Anything less than the 1 ½” may void the warranty
  • Use the Peel-N-Stick underlayment provided by Enviroshake
  • Factor 8-10% for waste

DO NOT

  • Use red chalk for chalk lines
    • red chalk will stain the product and this staining is not covered by the warranty
  • Have any nail heads showing
    • visible nail heads may cause the system to have vulnerability of water infiltration
  • Break each shake
    • unless you are staggering the course or using mixed colors
  • Break slates
  • Interweave
    • when using a synthetic underlayment
  • Install on roofs less than a 2/12 pitch
  • Use product from one project to another
    • doing so may create a color discrepancy due to production batches
  • Forget to gap
