For commercial construction or where worn roofing shingles have been torn off your roof, install a No. 15 asphalt saturated felt, or building paper, as an under-layment for the new asphalt-fiberglass shingles. Each roll of felt covers 400 square feet. Some suppliers also stock No. 30 saturated commercial roofing felt, but the added thickness and expense are not required unless you are installing clay tiles or cement tiles.
Roofing felt is a necessary vapor barrier between the wood deck and the shingles. Otherwise, during hot weather, the wood deck warmed by trapped attic air will draw moisture from the shingles and prematurely age the shingles. If you will not be removing worn shingles, there definitely is no need to install a layer of felt when you are applying a second layer of shingles over the top of one layer of worn asphalt shingles. Our friends at Butler in Charlotte have taught us this procedure and we are experts at commercial jobs.
For new construction or when worn shingles have been removed, install medium-weight metal drip edge along the eaves and rakes. Total the eaves and rake measurements and add 10% for overlapping and waste. Drip edge is sold in 10-foot lengths. Folds in in the roll-formed commercial roofing panels add rigidity and therefore also serve a structural purpose. They produce a repetitive pattern across a commercial roof, giving an appearance not available with other roofing materials. Some patterns give a strong line from the ridge to the eave. Other give a shallow rhythm flowing across the roof. Consult manufacturers catalogues to view the wide rang of designs available or contact us for more info.
