PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ARS-TriForce Roofing Sheet is a high performance, asphalt coated, multi-purpose roof sheet. It is triple reinforced with a polyester /glass/ polyester industrial strength fabric. It is coated with an asphalt compound specifically designed for roofing applications. This coating maximizes adhesion and contributes to the total waterproofing weight of the completed roof assembly. ARS-TriForce Roofing Sheet is applied without the necessity of cutting the sheet in short lengths and allowing it to relax before installation. RECOMMENDED USES ARS-TriForce Roofing Sheet can be used in a large variety of applications. Because of its waterproofing characteristics and superior physical properties, it is used as a base, ply or flashing sheet in both cold - or hot applied installations. Due to its high strength, final system numbers can be achieved that far exceed industry minimum standards. ADVANTAGES

Conventional equipment t can be used for application Hot or cold adhesives can be used with the TriForce Sheet Does not require cutting into short lengths before placement into cold adhesive. This allows
for a more efficient, speedier and quality application Its very high tensile provides long term performance Exceeds requirements of ASTM D 4601 Utilizes a roofing specific asphalt to ensure premium roof system performance and durability Classified by Underwriters, Inc. as to an external fire exposure only.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR INSTALLATION Nailed Base Sheet Remove wrinkles and slack from base sheet prior to nailing. This is best accomplished by applicator rolling out the sheet, removing imperfections with a shuffling action. Nailing should take place immediately after. Follow nailing specifications without modification. Fasteners must be as recommended by the deck manufacturer. All nailing shall be done through flat metal caps, no less than 1 inch in diameter. Fastening pattern for a mechanically fastened base sheet must be in accordance with approval requirements of the applicable testing entities. Cold Applied Built-Up Roof Run starter strips (headers) parallel to parapet walls and perimeter details. These should be installed by hand prior to the reinforcing plies. End laps must be staggered four (4) feet minimum. Embed each ply in a uniform continuous application of adhesive, immediately. Broom each ply to ensure adhesion. Point loading during the time of application may force the interplay adhesive from between the reinforcing plies. Every effort should be made to allow the waterproofing bitumen to set before being exposed to either foot or wheeled traffic.

Position and unroll ply sheet from insulation or deck side of roll. Do not kick out from behind roll. Also, keep equipment off the finished roof surface. Realignment of product after unrolling will cause wrinkling and fishmouths. Four (4) inch end laps should be staggered four (4) feet minimum. When end laps are necessarily in line, cover with a full width of ARS-TriForce Roofing Sheet. Overlap previous days work by twelve (12) inches.
