This manual is designed to provide practical information to those who sell and install asphalt roofing, and is intended to be a reference book of application techniques.

The Asphalt Roofing Residential Manual provides practical information to those who sell and install asphalt roofing so that the ultimate purchaser may obtain maximum performance for their roofing dollars. This manual is a reference for distributors of asphalt roofing products, a text for those engaged in installation covering the application of asphalt shingles and roll roofing, and an educational tool for teaching good roofing application techniques.

This booklet is intended as a general guide for the installation of laminated asphalt roofing shingles. Laminated shingles contain more than one layer of material to create extra thickness. Laminated shingles may also be called "architectural" shingles or "three dimensional" shingles. For more detailed information on the installation of asphalt shingles and other types of asphalt roofing products, refer to the ARMA Residential Asphalt Roofing Manual, which can be ordered on ARMA's website: www.asphaltroofing.org.
