When the rows of shingles reached the
penetration, the flange was set in place. |
| The shingles were cut with a pair of tin snips.
(This shingle was laid over top just for purposes of
measuring.) |
 |
 |
The first row of cut shingles was nailed in
place. The flange goes over top of these shingles. |
| The next row of shingles were cut to fit around
the dome of the flange. |
 |
 |
This row of shingles goes over top of the
flange.
In essence, the flange acts like a shingle itself... it
lays on top of the shingles below it, and underneath the
shingles above. |
| We applied a bead of roofing tar to the edge of
the cut shingle. |
 |
 |
We also applied a bead of tar where the cut edge
meets the dome. |
| Another row of shingles.
Some roofers prefer to fill in the black plastic space
below the dome. My belief is that putting shingles there only
slows down the flow of water and might contribute to a leak
someday. I'd sooner leave the area below the dome free and
clear so water can exit quickly. |
