TAMKO Peel-N-Stick Felt - Manual

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Personal fall protection devices should always be used when applying TAMKO PEEL‑N‑STICK FELT. Moisture,
frost or debris may decrease the traction while walking on TAMKO PEEL‑N‑STICK FELT. PLEASE EXERCISE
CAUTION DURING INSTALLATION.
SURFACE PREPARATION
To begin, remove any dust, dirt, loose nails or other
protrusions from the deck of new roofs. Remove all shingles,
roofing felt, nails, or other existing roofing materials and debris
from the deck of existing roofs.
Sweep thoroughly to remove any dust and dirt. Apply
PEEL‑N‑STICK FELT only in fair weather and when air,
substrate, and felt temperatures are above 35º F.
FOR ROOF DECKS
Apply PEEL‑N‑STICK FELT from low to high in shingle fashion as
shown below, so that laps will shed water. Overlap edge seams
4". End seams should be overlapped 6" and staggered. When
necessary, the felt may be unrolled and cut in 10‑ to 15‑foot lengths.
Align the felt on the lower edge of the roof deck. Remove the release
film from the felt then press the felt into place. Roll lower edges
of each course firmly with a wallpaper roller or other hand roller.
“Broom in” the installed felt using an industrial flat broom or
squeegee. Bear down on the installed membrane with the broom
or squeegee to insure total, even adherence to the substrate.
Care must be taken not to damage the surface when brooming.
FOR VALLEYS AND RIDGES
Where necessary, the felt may be unrolled and cut into 4‑ to 6‑foot
lengths. Peel the release film and center sheet over valley or
ridge. Drape and press sheet into place, working from the center
of the valley or ridge outward in each direction. For valleys, apply
the felt starting at the lowest point and work upward. Overlap all
sheets a minimum of 6 inches. PEEL‑N‑STICK FELT must be
covered by roofing materials immediately.
PROVIDE VENTILATION WHEN USING
OVER THE ENTIRE ROOF DECK
When using PEEL‑N‑STICK FELT over the entire roof deck the
roof must include a system to provide adequate ventilation for all
space immediately below the roof deck. Such ventilation system
should be designed in accordance with architectural design
standards appropriate to the size, nature, and location of the structure and should
include both ridge and soffit venting. For further information on providing adequate
ventilation, contact your architect, building contractor, building materials supplier, or
TAMKO.
