Considerations
- Belmont shingles should not be installed below a 2:12 slope; low slopes (2:12 to <4:12) require full-deck waterproofing underlayment per CertainTeed instructions.
- The 30-year algae-resistance warranty applies to AR shingles and requires CertainTeed algae-resistant hip & ridge accessories for 25- or 30-year coverage; otherwise algae warranty coverage is limited to 10 years (see warranty footnotes).
- Wind warranty upgrade to 130 mph requires specified starter and hip/ridge products and does not apply to roof-over installations.
