Your roof should be allowed to breath. Applying full coverage promotes sweating, and allergy growth in dark, wet, stale air pockets beneath.( both cause rusting of nails and deteriorating conditions ) Eccessive heat build-up in summer causes brittle shingles prematurely. Condesation freezing in winter expands pressure upward causeing pop-ups and lumping.
I personally reccomend useing it only on the eves ,rakes, dormers, chimnies, and any pennatrations, then fill the rest with breathable shingle underlayment not more than 15 pound.
As for the lines,....Because the underlayment bonds to both decking and lapping, adjustable pich, lap lines are not needed. 4 inch laps will do. |
