metal roof colors on houses, will buckle the overlapping side joint. shadowlinepanels are fastened in the center of the profile indents. shake tiles are fastened in the 4inch or 8 inch lower sections a minimum of 1 inch away from the joint pockets. we recommendall bottom or eave course tiles be fastened through the top of the panel into the fasciaboard or eave batten to better provide wind
up lift protection. if using nails the headshould be cocked and sealed with acrylic and granules. the back of the cut tiles of theridge are fastened through the top of the
lower areas into the support framing underneath.please ensure the fastener is located underneath the ridge trim. the eave course of panelsis left off until all other areas of the roof are complete. so it's to minimize foot trafficon the installed product. please install the highest roofs first to minimize traffic onthe lower roofs.
