Shingles have no disadvantages to report. However, this solution returns the best performance when installed in structures in harsh climates.
Shingle laying and assembly techniques
The stages of laying and mounting bituminous shingles do not have a high level of complexity.
We point out that, to reduce the risk of infiltrations, it is important to cover the roof with a bituminous sheath starting from the most protruding part of the roof up to the top.
When the waterproofing sheath has been placed, proceed with the assembly:
the first row is mounted upside down and glued to the gutter flap with bituminous mastic;
the positioning of the tiles starts from the base of the roof slopes and continues upwards;
when you get close to the top where the pitches join, a sheet metal strip is placed (to protect the junction points).
