GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FIELD APPLICATION
LTC Quality Plus® D90 must be applied to properly ventilated, building-code approved roof decks. Before installing please ensure the roof deck is clean, solid, properly fastened, and free of voids and/or damage.
Begin by unrolling the underlayment from left to right, noting that the printed side should be facing up for installation. Plastic cap fasteners, with a 1” minimum length and 1” minimum cap diameter, must be used to secure LTC Quality Plus® D90 properly. To secure, follow along the indicated fastener placement lines at the top and bottom to space fasteners at 6” O.C. horizontally. Then, follow along the indicated center lines to space fasteners at 12” O.C.
When more than one piece is required to continue a course, overlapping is necessary. The overlaps at the top and bottom should be a minimum of 4”, The fasteners should be placed 2” in from the edge of the top and bottom laps.
The end overlaps should be 12” minimum and fastened vertically at 12” O.C, staying 2” in from the end of the top layer. The plastic cap fasteners should be driven tightly in the surface of LTC Quality Plus® D90, being careful not to cut into the sheet. If any damage to LTC Quality Plus® D90 occurs, it must be repaired before continuing to the next step. ASTM-approved peel-and-stick flashing tape (or equivalent) can be used to repair seams, joints, and tears. Cold-applied adhesives may be used at this point to supplement seal joints, flashings, and overlaps.
For best results, LTC Quality Plus® D90 should be extended at least 12” past all hips and valleys. If LTC Quality Plus® D90 is being installed on decks with less than 4 in 12 slopes, it should be applied in a double coverage method. Here, the overlap of each installed course should be 24”, rather than the normal 4”. It is acceptable to drive the fasteners through both layers to secure.
Always follow the ARMA (Asphalt Roof Manufacturing Association) recommendations for installing shingle underlayment’s and flashings for best roofing practices.
