12-1/4" x 12" HIP & RIDGE
FIBERGLASS SHINGLES
Frederick, MD • Joplin, MO
Apply shingles up to a hip or ridge from both sides of the roof before finishing the intersection. To facilitate finishing, adjust the last few courses
so that the ridge capping will adequately cover the top courses of shingles equally on both sides of the ridge.
To apply the capping, bend each shingle along the centerline so that it will extend an equal distance on each side of the hip or ridge. Chalk
lines may assist in proper alignment. In cold weather, warm the shingle until it is pliable before bending.
Apply the shingles with a 5-1/8 in. exposure, beginning at the bottom of the hip or from the end of the ridge opposite the direction of the pre-
vailing winds. See Figure 1. Secure each shingle as illustrated in Figure 2. with one fastener on each side, 5-5/8 in. back from the exposed end
and 1 in. up from the edge. Length of fastener for hip and ridge shingles should be 1/4 in. longer than recommended for shingles.
In high wind areas, it may be advisable, at the discretion of the roofing contractor, to use a spot of sealant to minimize blow off problems.
It is recommended that a 2-layer application of 12-1/4" x 12" Hip and Ridge be applied to all Heritage roofs to enhance the overall
appearance.
When the second layer is applied, offset this layer by 1/4 in. to create a “shadow” effect. See Figure 3.
The length of the fastener should be long enough to penetrate through the roofing material and 3/4 in. into the wood decking or
completely through approved plywood.
