Atlas Roofing just introduced its Summit 60 Synthetic underlayment for shingles. The Susan G. Komen foundation will receive $2 for every roll of the underlayment that is sold over the next two weeks. Special pink-colored rolls with branding and ribbons will be available through Atlas Roofing distributors.
Summit 60 is a good choice for roofs with slopes from 4:12 to 7/12. You can double the coverage by using an underlayment 24" thick. Fasteners should be used through both layers. The overlapping is necessary because the underlayment needs to be secured by a tarpaulin, which is an unsightly sag. Summit 60 will protect your deck and prevent water damage.
Summit 60 has a great moisture barrier. Its water resistance, UV protection, and waterproofing will keep your roof system safe from water and ice. It keeps water from reaching the decking. It is made from polymeric scrim that is more durable than regular felt. It also provides enhanced strength and minimizes slippage between the underlayment and the roof sheathing. Summit 60 offers additional benefits, including enhanced walking during installation and sixty day UV protection.
You must ensure that your underlayment is properly installed before you can begin. The type of roof deck that you have must be determined first. You can then proceed with Summit (r-60) installation if it is ventilated. You can install Summit 60 on slopes of 4:12 or 7/12. This means that overlaps between layers should not exceed 24 inches. Avoid leakage and rot by using plastic caps that have a minimum of 1 inch diameter and 1 inch length.
The Summit 60 is designed to improve the lifespan of a roof system and to reduce water and UV penetration. It provides excellent water resistance and UV Protection. It reduces slippage between the underlayment and the roof sheathing. The underlayment will last a lifetime and is extremely durable. It also offers excellent walking ability. Moreover, the synthetic underlayment is UV-coated for increased strength and durability.
Summit (r. 60) should be applied before the synthetic underlayment is applied. It is a double-coverage method. This means that you must ensure that the sheets are properly installed. Instead of having four layers, the overlapping should be 24 inches. Adhesives can be used to attach the layers. Summit (r-606) must be installed only by licensed roof contractors.

How To
How to renovate an older house
To begin with, I would suggest that you should first determine what type of renovation project you want to undertake. This could be anything from updating your kitchen appliances to completely renovating the house.
Once you've decided what sort of renovation you want to carry out, then you need to think about how much money you have available to spend. You may find that your funds are not sufficient to cover the whole project. This is a sign that you may not have enough funds to cover the entire cost of the project.
There are many things to remember before you begin work if you have decided to do renovations. You need to make sure you have the right permits for your project. You should also check whether you require planning permission for certain types of work. To add extensions to your home or make other changes, you might need building consent.
Before you start work on the house it is best to check with the local council website to determine if additional permits are required. Also, check whether you need planning permission for each part of the house that you intend to renovate. For major projects like a new roof installation, your insurance provider may need to be contacted to confirm that you have adequate coverage.
Next, you will need to decide on the tools and materials that are best suited for your job. There are many options so make sure you take your time and research each one thoroughly. Paint, wallpaper paste, carpets and tiles are some of the most commonly used items in renovations.
Make sure you look at the product's quality before purchasing these items. Cheap products tend to last only a short period of time, whereas good quality products will usually last longer and provide better value for money. When you are buying any item, ensure that you only purchase what is necessary for the job. It is important not to buy too much, as you may end up wasting valuable resources or having to throw out large quantities of material. Try to only buy what you actually need.
Once you've decided on the materials you want to use, you must plan where you'll keep them while you are working on the property. You might need storage space if you are renovating large areas of your house. You might also consider asking family and friends to move your belongings around.
