How To Install Turada® Hardwood Shingles
Installation of the Turada® Hardwood Shingles is no different than traditional wood shingles. They are installed with the same tools and methods as a cedar roof. Contractors who regularly install cedar shingles will find that there is very little difference to the installation of Turada® Hardwood Shingles.
The following basic installation details must be observed:
- Shingles should be doubled or tripled at all eaves.
- Butts of first course should project 1½” beyond the fascia.
- Spacing between shingles should be 1/4” and a maximum of 3/8”.
- Joints in any one course should be not less than 1-1/2” from joints in adjacent courses and in any three courses, no two joints should be in direct alignment.
- Minimum length 1-3/4” Stainless Steel 5d Ring Shank Nails recommended.
- For more detailed information see our Turada® Installation Instructions.
