Major points In new method of roofing a low pitch.
By DAVID G. BAREUTHER
Roofs are going to become flat
ter. This is not a style note from
the Paris of the home builders. It
is just an obvious conclusion, war
ranted by the development of a
new method for using asphalt
shingles.
Changes in house design have
been brought about before by new
building materials and new ideas
for using them. You can cite the
window wall, made practicable in
northern climates by vacuum-seal
ed double glass. And there is the
trend to wide roof overhangs,
which at least was aided and
abetted by the need for shade to
increase the efficiency of summer
cooling systems.
The reason you can now virtually
bet on gables becoming squattet ?
maybe disappearing in an almost
flat shed slope ? is that y#ur
money will be saved if you're pay
ing for the building Job.
Architects have been flirting for
years with what they call "flat
tops." The structural lumber and
roofing material required to bdild
a pitched and gabled roof have
been obvious extravagances. So in
recent years, you have seen the
slopes of roofs on hew houses be
coming steadily lower.
But when roof alopes got down
to a drop of less than four inches
per horizontal foot, economy seem
ed to end. Economical shingles
could no longer be used, because
a < the problem of water baching
up under them on pitches of less
than tour Inches. Yon eould belld
a flat roof, or one with a pitch
of only two inches or so, but Jrou
had to use built-up roofing
etber systems.
Well, a lot of people didn't care
much for the looks of black roll
roofing on a house ? especially
When pitched roofs blossomed out
in blue, red, green, pink and o*ier
hoes. Bo the daring young aithl
tecta were more or less saddled
With gabled roots.
Now it turns out that you can
build a rain-tight, wind-tight toot
with a pitch aa low as two inahea
per foot, and use popular asphalt
shingles if you do it in the right
way. first you attach a metal drip
edge along the eaves and along the
rakes of your roof. Then you cdver
the roof deck with two layer* of
No. IS asphalt saturated felt.
YOU start this underlayment With
a 19-Inch starter course laid ak>ng
the eaves to overlie the metal Irip
edge. The starter course is then
covered with quick-setting asphalt
cement and a lull M-lnch width of
the felt is then laid to overlap the
starter courie completely.
ftom than en, aaak M-lnch width [
of fett overlap the pnflous strip
by II Inches and is cemented to
the previous strip. All of this ma
terial ia further secured to the ho I
tSA&tsssjstit
the material In place until the
shingles are applied.
Then another starting strip is ap
plied along the eaves. This can be
a row of asphalt shingles reversed,
or a strip of 90-pound mineral sur
faced roofing.
An expocure of only 3 inches is
allowed for each course of shingles.
Four nails are used for each shingle
strip and all tabs are cemented
down firmly without squeezing the
cement out over the exposed sur
faces. Shingles along the rakes of
the roof are cemented to the metal
drip edge and to each other.
This metnod was developed in
18 months of testing and research
by the Asphalt Roofing Industry
Bureau. A specially designed
"storm machine" was used in the |
tests. Panel* of roofing remained
completely wMther-tlght at the end
of six hours of simulated, continu
ous 60-mile-per-hour wind and ?
2-inch-per-hour rainfall.
