Atlas Roofing just introduced its Summit 60 Synthetic underlayment for shingles. The company will donate $2 from each roll of the synthetic underlayment to the Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer research. Contractors can order special pink-colored rolls through Atlas Roofing distributors. They will come with pink ribbons and branding.
Summit 60 is a great choice for roof systems with slopes between 4:12 and 7:12. Apply an underlayment 24” thick and fasteners through each layer to achieve double coverage. Because the underlayment is secured by a cover tarpaulin (which is an unsightly sag), it is important to overlap. Summit 60 will help protect your deck, and prevent damage from water.
The Summit 60 underlayment has an excellent moisture barrier. Its UV protection and water resistance will protect your roof from ice and water. It prevents water from penetrating the decking. This underlayment uses polymeric scrim instead of traditional felt. It is stronger and less slippy than traditional felt, and it can be used between the roof sheathing or underlayment. Summit 60 has additional benefits such as enhanced walkability and UV protection for sixty days.
As with any underlayment, you must make sure that it is properly installed before you begin. You must first determine the type of roof deck you have. If the roof deck has ventilation, then Summit (r-60 can be installed. You can install Summit 60 on slopes of 4:12 or 7/12. This means that there should be no overlap between the layers. Avoid leakage and rot by using plastic caps that have a minimum of 1 inch diameter and 1 inch length.
The Summit 60 is designed to improve the lifespan of a roof system and to reduce water and UV penetration. It offers superior UV protection and water resistance. It reduces slippage between the underlayment and the roof sheathing. The underlayment lasts a long period of time and is very durable. It's also extremely walkable. The synthetic underlayment has been UV-coated to increase strength and durability.
Summit (r. 60) should be applied before the synthetic underlayment is applied. It is a double-coverage method. In this case, you need to make sure that the sheets are installed correctly. Instead of having four layers, the overlapping should be 24 inches. You can use adhesives to adhere the layers. The installation of Summit (r) 60 must be done by a licensed roof contractor.
FAQ
Are permits necessary to renovate my property?
Yes. You will need permits to start any home renovation project. In most cases you will need to have a building permit along with a plumber's permit. A zoning license may also be needed depending on the type or construction you are doing.
What order should renovations of the home be performed?
First, decide where you want everything to go in your renovations. You should consider how you want to market your home to potential buyers if you are planning to sell your house soon. The next step is to plan the layout of your living, kitchen, and bathroom. After you've decided on the rooms that you wish to renovate, it is time to start searching for contractors who are experts in these areas. You can then begin your renovations once you have hired an expert contractor.
How do I choose a good contractor?
Ask your family and friends for recommendations when choosing a contractor. You can also look online for reviews. You should ensure that the contractor you select has experience in the field of construction you are interested. Refer to previous clients and verify their references.

How To
5 Things You Should Know Before Starting Your House Renovation
-
This is a big undertaking. It's likely that you will need assistance if you plan to tackle a large home improvement project, such as remodeling your kitchen or bathroom or building a new home. However, if you feel unsure about your ability to complete such a big task by yourself, you might consider hiring someone to help you. This could cost you a lot of money and time, and you may not get any real benefit from it. Instead, you can hire someone who knows their stuff to help. They'll save your time and make it easy for you to have a wonderful place to call home.
-
How much should I budget? This may seem obvious but it could make things worse if you spend too much on your renovation project. You'll likely have to repay most of your costs at the end. If you have a budget in place, stick with it. Otherwise, you could end up paying a fortune without getting anything in return.
-
Should I hire professional tradespeople or DIY? - Although there's no right answer, we would recommend hiring professionals if you have the means. They'll give you the best advice possible on how to proceed with your particular project. They'll install your plumbing correctly, provide a warranty, and ensure everything goes according to plan. DIY projects can be frustrating because they require a lot more trial and error. This means that you will have to learn many lessons from the experience. Additionally, you will have to deal all manner of problems that can arise along the way.
-
How much can I afford it? - Do not underestimate how expensive a renovation project will cost. Even if you believe you can handle it yourself, it might be necessary to borrow money from your family or friends just to cover the costs. And if you're planning to sell your current property soon after completing the renovations, you'll definitely need to factor in the price of selling it into your calculations.
-
Where do I start? There are no right or wrong places to begin when choosing where to start. We suggest you choose something you like to do. It will motivate you to work harder and reduce procrastination. Also, avoid places that are difficult to maintain. For instance, you shouldn't attempt to redecorate your living room if you're constantly dealing with dust and dirt.
