It is the sole responsiblity of the design authority to assess the performance capability and material suitability for specific design requirements. Only primary shingle products; it does not include items such as starter strips, ridge caps or hip caps. Starter Strips, like ridge and hip capping, must be acceptable to, and manufactured by, the field asphalt shingle manufacturer. The starter strip or ridge/hip cap must be of the same material as the shingle and must be applied according to the manufacturer's printed instructions, to provide a minimum double coverage. Capping must be installed in such a manner that nails are not exposed. Continuous proprietary ridge venting systems are also acceptable and are recommended for all areas with vaulted ceilings. All asphalt shingle manufacturers listed in this manual provide limited material warranties for their products.

Many asphalt shingle products include the term or length of coverage, in years, as part of the product brand names.

The acceptance of these materials by the RoofStar Guarantee Program is only for coverage under the RoofStar Five (5) Year or RoofStar Ten (10) Year Guarantee Programs. Such acceptance by the 'RoofStar Guarantee Program' in no way reflects on the long term in service performance or expected service life of these products in comparison to the term or length of warranty coverage provided by asphalt shingle manufacturers. |
