RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION GUIDEfor SUPER VIC and ULTRA-VICThe following brochure is a step-by-step procedure for reroofing a residence. Great care must be taken to use the prop-er flashings and fittings to insure a perfect, long lasting, leak proof roof. Many inexperienced applicators try to cut cor-ners but the end result is a roof that fails! Please follow this guide and if you have any questions, contact yourAuthorized VICWEST Dealer for further information. VICWEST offers this installation as a guideline only andassumes no responsibility whatsoever regarding improper installation or improper use of its products.

STEP 1Draw a diagram of the roof or structure that you will becladding.To accurately estimate and order your new VICWESTproduct, all measurements must be precise and includedon your drawing. Include all valley lengths, cottage roofhip lengths, dormer sizes, rafter (measure from centre ofridge to outside of fascia board; do not deduct from thismeasurement) and ridge lengths, and the location andsizes of all chimneys, skylights and vent pipes. It is alsoimportant to know the approximate pitch of your roof, as itis imperative that flashings and ridge vents be made to suit.To determine the pitch of the roof, measure horizontallyacross the gable end and mark a distance of 12”. From thispoint, measure the vertical rise of the roof. This will giveyou the pitch; e.g., a 4” rise in 12” will be a 4:12 pitch. (Seediagram opposite.)Have yourVICWEST Dealer estimate your requirements.

STEP 2Once you have received your new VICWEST panels andaccessories, you are ready to proceed with the application.Cut off the overhanging old roofing flush with the fascia.Replace or repair any damaged or deteriorated fasciaboards. Check the structural integrity of the roof framingand repair any areas requiring attention.

STEP 3Using a minimum of 1” x 4” standard or better lumber,install nailers around pipes that protrude through theroof. Check the MASTER FLASHTM/RETROFIT MASTERFLASHTM section on page 12 for the location of the nailers.Then install nailers down the valleys and along ridges,hips and any other place where a flashing will berequired. In each case, check the flashing for the properlocation of the nailer. If Snow Guards will be required,check the detail on Pg. 6 and locate strapping accordingly.You may want to add the strapping for future requirements.STEP 4Strap the rest of the roof with a minimum of a 1” x 4” stan-dard or better lumber, placed at proper spans. Span infor-mation is available from your Authorized VICWESTDealer. It is recommended that strapping be screwed tothe roof as nails will pull out after a time. Be sure that allnailers are level - shim under nailers where necessary.

STEP 7Begin to apply the sheets. Be sure to start your sheetssquare, and in the case of ULTRA-VIC, lapping the shortlap over the full lap, as per specifications. It is recom-mended that you pre-drill your sheets where possible, bymeasuring the centres on your strapping and marking thesheets accordingly. This procedure will give you an aes-thetically pleasing look, as you will have straight rows ofscrews on the finished roof. Always pre-drill and cut thesheets from the back side, ensuring that all metals filingsare wiped from the sheet. Apply the sheets with nylonhead skirt flange screws. Great care must be taken that thewasher is compressed but not over-tightened, as shown inthe diagram opposite.Note: Lap joints should face away from prevailing winds.

STEP 8As you proceed across the roof, install flashings asrequired.

STEP 9Fasten ridge cap and/or vented ridge using nylon headscrews at each rib. The use of Large Tab Foam (over sheet)is highly recommended between the cap and the sheet.

front.

VICWEST VENTED RIDGE

VENTED FOAM CLOSURE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS1. Apply roof cladding leaving the required opening for

the VICWEST 10’ Roofline Ridge Vent (2 3/4” wide x120” long).

2. Install the ridge cover over the roof cladding up to theedge of the roof opening.

3. Each vent carton contains 2 end flanges and 1 connec-tor flange.– End flanges are used when vents are installed indi-vidually. Install end flanges on the inside of the ventend panel as shown.– Connector flanges are used between vents when run-ning vents continuously (do not use end flanges here!).Butt two vents together with the connector flangeunderneath at the joint. Both vent end panels fitbetween the two tabs on the connector flange.

4. Install the vent over the opening using the properfoam closure to suit the roof cladding profile. Makesure the foam closure does not block drainage holes inthe roof flange.

VICWEST 10’ RIDGE VENT

5. Vent should be fastened on the ribs of roof claddingand a generous bead of caulking must be appliedbetween the ridge cover and the vent end flanges orconnector flanges.

6. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU ORDER THECORRECT VENTED RIDGE FOR YOUR PROJECT!THE PITCH OF THE ROOF MUST BE SPECIFIEDIN ORDER THAT A CORRECT UNIT MAY BEMANUFACTURED.

4) Install Ridge Cap. (Due to the size of the vented clo-sure and the requirement to leave a vent space at theridge line, it will be necessary to use a larger RidgeCap than normal. Style RR-8 Ridge is recommended.)

STEP 10 OPTIONS

SNOW RESTRAINTDrifts of snow and ice accumulating on top of homes maysuddenly cascade down and off roofs. This can tear off gut-ters and cause damage to people or objects below.The potential for snow pile-up on a roof can vary greatly,depending on building location and geometry. If signifi-cant loading is expected on a restraining system, an engi-neered system appropriately anchored to the buildingstructure should be investigated. If minor loading is envi-sioned, one of the following options may be appropriate.1. SNOWGUARDSSnow guards may hold back or retard the movement ofsnow or ice.2. POLAR BLOXThis polycarbonate product is intended to solve the prob-lem of ice and snow movement. This item must be installedin accordance with the manufacturer’s directions:1) Apply a transparent silicone sealant to the base (non-acetic acid type on Galvalume or Galvanized roofs).

2) Using 2 self-tapping #14 screwsw/neoprene washers, screw throughthe Polar Blox and roofing materialinto the purlin or structural support.

Begin to apply sheets. Starting from left to right, depend-ing on the prevailing wind direction, fasten the first sheetat the gable end with a #12 truss head screw on 16” cen-tres up the entire length of the sheet. On the flange side ofthe sheet, fasten same as gable.2nd Sheet: Starting at the top or bottom, place sheet lapover rib to cover screwed down flange. Lock panel inplace by hitting rib with a rubber mallet, traversing up ordown the sheet again to make a tight lock.CAUTION: Do not start at both ends and snap togethertowards the middle!3rd Sheet: Same as 2nd, and so on.Check regularly to ensure that the sheets are square andadjust accordingly if out of alignment.STEP 6At the bottom of the sheets, install three 1” nylon headscrews in the flat area of the sheet as per the drawing onthe right. At rib overlaps, install a 2” nylon head screw inthe top of the rib as an aid against the sheets pulling apart.STEP 7As you proceed across the roof, install flashings asrequired.STEP 8Fasten ridge cap and/or vented ridge using nylon headscrews at each rib.

ing leads (Berol Turquoise T2375 or equivalent). The Pencil Hardnessis specified as the first pencil grade that will not rupture the paint filmwhen sharpened to a round flat point and applied at a 45° to thepaint surface. A minimum hardness of F shall be achieved.

(b) Test Method: ASTM D3363 or NCCA 4.2.5.

3.4 Formability/Adhesion Test(a) When using a representative sample at 20°C ± 1.5°C (70°F ± 5°F)

using #610 Scotch brand cellophane tape, the paint system will showno loss of adhesion when subjected to a 3T 180° bend test.

(b) Test Method: ASTM D4145 or NCCA 4.2.8.

3.5 Gloss(a) The specular gloss shall be ± 5 gloss units of the agreed-upon

specified target when measured with a Gardner 60° Glossmeter.(b) Test Method: ASTM D523 or NCCA 6.1.6.

4.0 ACCELERATED CORROSION4.1 Humidity Resistance(a) The humidity resistance test shall be conducted at 100% relative

humidity at a temperature of 38°C (100°F).(b) After 1000 hours of exposure, the surface will show no blisters

(on HDG and Galvalume substrates).(c) Test Method: ASTM D2247 or NCCA 5.4.4.

5.0 EXTERIOR EXPOSURE (WEATHERING)When installed in Canada or the USA, each WeatherX™ colour ofproven durability shall successfully meet the following weatheringstandards:

5.1 Film IntegrityDuring the first 40 years of exterior exposure (and in the absence ofaggressive fumes and/or other chemicals not normally encountered inthe atmosphere), the paint film shall have no evidence of cracking,chipping, peeling, crazing, spotting or loss of adhesion apparent onnormal outdoor visual observations.

5.2 ChalkingDuring the first 30 years of exterior exposure, the chalking in verticalapplications shall not exceed a No. 8 rating and in non-verticalapplications shall not exceed No. 6 per ASTM D4214, method A,or NCAA 5.5.2.

5.3 Colour ChangeDuring the first 30 years of exterior exposure, the colour change invertical applications shall not exceed five (5) colour units, and innon-vertical applications the colour change shall not exceed eight (8)colour units per ASTM D2244 or NCCA 6.1.5. Colour measurementsare to be made only on clean surfaces after removing surface depositsand chalk per ASTM D3964. Colour change is measured on anyaccepted colorimeter designed to produce reflectance readings in theTristimulus Filter System of X, Y and Z based on the CIE values ofilluminant C and measured in Hunter L, a and b units.
