Last Panel on Each Course
For Perfection Shingle Double 7",
Hand-Split Shake and Half-Rounds,
measure the distance from the correct
line on the temperature gauge into
the corner post, less 1/4" (see “A” on
Fig. 1).
For Triple 5 ", measure the distance
from the correct line on the tempera-
ture gauge to the edge of the corner
post and ADD 1/4".
Cut off left end of panel (see “B” on
Fig. 1).
Engage lock into starter strip or
continuous lock of previous course,
pull up tight and nail according to
“NAILING PROCEDURES.”
Installation Tip: Panels will flex
to allow installation. To minimize
waste, cut pieces can be used as
starter pieces on adjacent wall.
Using Alignment Lines
NOTE: Temperature gauge is used
only for installation of the first
course on each wall. Do NOT adjust
temperature gauge on panels after
first course is complete “except when
adjusting panels for windows or last
panel of each course”.
Perfection Shingle Double 7 ", Triple
5 " and Hand-Split Shake Panels –
For second and subsequent courses,
align left side flange with left “8” or
right “0” alignment line of previous
course, according to instructions.
Half-Rounds – For second and
subsequent courses, align left side
flange with nearest alignment line
that allows proper fit and overlap
of shingles. Be sure to cut panel to
stagger vertical laps.
