Atlas Roofing has recently introduced its new Summit 60 Synthetic Underlayment for shingles. The Susan G. Komen foundation will be receiving $2 from every roll purchased of the underlayment for the duration of the two-week period. These special pink-colored rolls, which will be embossed and branded with pink ribbons, will be made available to contractors through Atlas Roofing distributors.
Summit 60 is an excellent choice for roof systems with a 4:12 to 7:12 slope. Double coverage can be achieved by applying an underlayment 24 inches thick and using fasteners through both layers. This is required because the underlayment has to be secured with a waterproof tarpaulin. Summit 60 is a deck protector that will prevent water damage.
Summit 60 is an excellent underlayment that offers excellent moisture protection. Its water resistance, UV protection, and waterproofing will keep your roof system safe from water and ice. It stops water from leaking through the decking. The underlayment is made of polymeric scrim, which is stronger than traditional felt. It also provides enhanced strength and minimizes slippage between the underlayment and the roof sheathing. Summit 60 has additional benefits such as enhanced walkability and UV protection for sixty days.
You must ensure that your underlayment is properly installed before you can begin. First, determine what type of roof deck it is. It must be ventilated before you can install Summit (r-60). You can install Summit 60 on slopes of 4:12 or 7/12. The overlap between the layers should not exceed 24 inches. You should use plastic cap fasteners of a minimum one-inch diameter and one-inch length to prevent leakage.
Summit 60 is designed for roof systems that have a shorter lifespan and to prevent water and UV penetration. It is highly resistant to water and UV protected. It prevents slippage from the roof sheathing to the underlayment. The underlayment is long-lasting and durable. It also has excellent walkability. It is also UV-coated so that it has greater strength and endurance.
Summit (r-60) should be applied to solid roof decks prior to applying the synthetic underlayment. This is a double-coverage technique. This means that you must ensure that the sheets are properly installed. An ideal length for overlapping is 24 inches, not four. Adhesives are available to bond the layers. Summit (r. 60) should only be installed by a licensed roofing contractor.
