PRODUCT OVERVIEW The colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles is new type shingle waterproofing monolithic for roof and made of fiberglass felt saturated and coated with modified bitumen and covered with colorful mineral particles in side and isolating material in another side. It is colorful, various shape, light-weight, durable, good decoration, excellent waterproofing and convenient installation. And it is widely applied to the waterproofing for the inclined roofs in the domestic and abroad. The incline of roof to be applied with The colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles is more than 20o.     THE BASIC COMPONENTS The fiberglass felt: It acts as a carrier on the technique manufacturing the shingles. It has excellent waterproofing properties and protect shingle surface from damages. It makes the colorful shingles performing well in the waterproofing and withstanding the vibration during manufacturing, transportation, construction and usage. The modified bitumen: The modified bitumen is made of oxidated asphalt and has good elongation, strong adhesion, excellent absorbing fillers. It is good to the fireproof of the products, bond all the material together and make the colorful shingles to resist the erosion of wind and rain, to maintain the property in low or high temperature and to resist moisture and oxidation. The colorful particles The colorful particle is attached to the surface of the shingle and protects the modified bitumen from the sunlight damage. It also improves the properties of the modified bitumen such as aging resistance, extension of life cycle, coloring the shingles and strengthening fireproofing properties of shingles. Self adhesive bond: The back of colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles is fixed with self adhesive bond, which will be activated by sunlight and adhering the top and the bottom shingles after paving the shingles on the roof. So the entire roof will combine together to form integration.   Filler The filler is generally made of lime stone. There are several advantages on filler used to shingles: improving the fireproofing properties, proper increasing the weatherability and elasticity of shingles and lowering the cost.   PRODUCT FEATURES Wide scope of application: The colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles are applied to various type of buildings with arc or round roofs as the flexibility of the shingles.   Economic and convenient installation: The colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles is able to be installed in various conditions to shorten the construction period and save the manpower cost. The projects’ cost is decreased because of the light-weight roofs. The reasonable expenditure and long lift cycle makes it have excellent comprehensive economic advantages.   Durability and less requirements of maintenance: The colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles itself has long life cycle from 20 years to 50 years. It requires less maintenance if it is correctly installed. And it is easy to be repaired if it is damages.   The aesthetics and harmony The colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles integrates many architectural styles and provides a lot of color options to meet various aesthetic demands. The color of The colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles can be used to match and serve natural colors of other construction materials such as bricks, stone wall, coating and hanging boards to the environment more aesthetic and harmonious.   PRODUCT PERFORMANCE Weatherability The roofs covered with colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles is able to withstand various weather erosions caused by sunlight, cold and hot temperatures, rain and winter.   Erosion resistance The roofs covered with colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles would appears rust or stripes caused by worse weather conditions.   Thermal insulation The roofs covered with colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles has low coefficient of thermal conductivity. It isolates the heat conduction from the external to the internal in summer and from the internal to the external in winter. The shingle is able to absorb the sound of rain shocking the roof and assure silent and comfortable environment to residents living on the roof rooms.   Dust proof and self cleaning: The colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles is not easy to accumulate dust forming stripes on the roof. Even if in rainy season, it wouldn’t accumulate any waterlogging and will be cleaner and shiny by rain wash.     PERFORMANCE INDEX   Executive standard: National Standard GB/T20474-2006

    PRODUCT INSTALLATION 1. Leveling by cement mortar The flatness of the substrate would directly affect the quality and appearance of roof as the colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles are flexible materials. So the flatness of substrates shall be strictly controlled and thickness is between 28mm and 35mm 2. Initial layer of the shingles: The initial layer of the shingle to be installed to the roof is cut out of the cover of the original shingle and the left named overlapping parts. The initial layer is paved along with the lower position of the slope. Install the initial layer. The joint below the decoration seam and that of first layer of shingles are used to protect the roof. Pave the initial layer on the roof with adhesive side facing up. The first shingle cut with 167mm is installed to the roof along with wall side and 5-10mm out of the cornice and separately fixed by nail at the positions 50.8mm away from the edge and 25.4mm. Install another two nails in equal distance to the previous two nails. A shingle generally needs to be fixed with 4 nails. And the nail can’t puncture through the self adhesive layer of the shingles. 3 .Installation procedures The first layer of shingle Pave the first shingles in sequence and along with the wall side and cornice to align with initial shingles. The shingles shall be bonded together and not pressed with each other. The installation of first shingle is very critical. Keep inspecting the shingles to follow the benchmark and to assure alignment of the first shingles. The shingles aligns with the benchmark to align with decoration seam.   The Second layer of shingle The first shingle of second layer shall cross half shingle with previous layer. The following shingle is to be paved in sequence and bottom side of second layer shall align with top joint of first layer shingles. It will make the previous shingle exposed. Align the bottom of shingle with cornice by the benchmark. Fix the shingles with nails.   The third layer of shingle The surfacing cover of the first shingle of third layer shall be cut to cross with first shingle of second layer. The bottom of the shingle shall align with decoration seam of second layer. The rest of shingles are to be paved following that.   4. Internal corner The crossing shingles on two roofs shall be paved following the direction of the gutter or opposite each other. Both of them are paved to the position away from center of the gutter. Pave the shingle on the gutter until completion of pavement of shingles on two roofs. Regardless of the directions, both of them shall pave the first-layer shingles along with roof edge and cross the gutter to extend the last shingle to the adjacent roof at least 300mm. Then pave the shingle of first layer along with eave of adjacent roof while crossing the gutter and overlap shingles to the previous installed shingles. Make them crossed each other and press down the shingles on the gutter. Fix the shingles on the gutter by fixing closed gutter.   5. Shingle on the ridge: Adjust the last pieces of shingles to be covered by the shingles on the gutter. The shingle on the ridge is made by cutting the single shingle.   PRECAUTIONS: Correct fixture of nail is very critical to the installation quality. Assurance of correct fixing nail requires to vertically punch the nail and cap of the nail shall be leveling with shingle. The amount of nail usage depends on the type of shingles and slope of roofs. More nails will be provided if the slope of roof is more than 60 degree or the building is located in high wind area.   The specification of nails: length 20-30mm, diameter of nail cap 9-10mm, diameter of the nail bar 2.4-4mm   The shingles with self adhesive will be bonded naturally under the sunlight. The shingle shall be installed with special adhesive in the very cold area or slope of the roof is big.   The colored fiberglass modified bituminous shingles can’t be directly applied to thermal insulation. Tecway won’t be liable for the leakage caused by the inadequate installation or installation disobeying the instruction.
