RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION GUIDEfor ULTRA-VICThe following brochure is a step-by-step procedure for reroofing a residence. Great care must be taken to use the proper flash-ings and fittings to insure a perfect, long lasting, leak proof roof. Many inexperienced applicators try to cut corners but theend result is a roof that fails! Please follow this guide and if you have any questions, contact your AuthorizedVICWESTDealerfor further information.VICWEST offers this installation as a guideline only and assumes no responsibility whatsoever re-garding 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 newVICWEST prod-uct, all measurements must be precise and included on yourdrawing. Include all valley lengths, cottage roof hip lengths,dormer sizes, rafter (measure from centre of ridge to outsideof fascia board; do not deduct from this measurement) andridge lengths, and the location and sizes of all chimneys, sky-lights and vent pipes. It is also important to know the ap-proximate pitch of your roof, as it is imperative that flashingsand 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 give youthe pitch; e.g., a 4” rise in 12” will be a 4:12 pitch.(See diagram opposite.)

Have your VICWEST 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. Re-place or repair any damaged or deteriorated fascia boards.Check the structural integrity of the roof framing and repairany areas requiring attention.

STEP 3Using a minimum of 1” x 4” standard or better lumber, installnailers around pipes that protrude through the roof. Checkthe MASTER FLASHTM/RETROFIT MASTER FLASHTM sectionon page 14 for the location of the nailers. Then install nail-ers down the valleys and along ridges, hips and any otherplace where a flashing will be required. In each case, checkthe flashing for the proper location of the nailer. If SnowGuards will be required, check the detail on Pg. 8 and locatestrapping accordingly. You may want to add the strapping for fu-ture 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 AuthorizedVICWESTDealer.It is recommended that strapping be screwed to the roof asnails will pull out after a time. Be sure that all nailers arelevel - shim under nailers where necessary.

STEP 7Begin to apply the sheets. Be sure to start your sheets square,and in the case of ULTRA-VIC, lapping the short lap over thefull lap, as per specifications. It is recommended that youpre-drill your sheets where possible, by measuring the cen-tres on your strapping and marking the sheets accordingly.This procedure will give you an aesthetically pleasing look,as you will have straight rows of screws on the finished roof.Always pre-drill and cut the sheets from the back side, en-suring that all metals filings are wiped from the sheet. Applythe sheets with nylon head skirt flange screws. Great caremust be taken that the washer is compressed but not over-tightened, as shown in the diagram opposite.

Note: Lap joints should face away from prevailing winds.

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

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

VENTED FOAM CLOSUREFEATURES & BENEFITSVICWEST Vented Foam Closure is designed to fit under-neath your Ridge Cap, giving a clean unobtrusive appear-ance. It provides 4.5 sq. ins. of free air intake per lineal footof closure or 9 sq. ins. per lineal foot of ridge. VICWESTVented Ridge consists of 3 basic components. The Front Venthas bug screen and weep holes, the central component is aRain Baffle and the Back Vent has a glue line for ease of in-stallation.

N.B.: This Closure can be combined with our ResidentialEndwall RE-8 to create a Ventilated Endwall.

INSTALLATION1) Keep your roof sheet back 2” from the ridge line.

2) Peel paper from glue line on Back Vent.

3) Place Closure Vent on panel with weep holes to thefront.

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 x 120”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 connectorflange.

– End flanges are used when vents are installed individu-ally. Install end flanges on the inside of the vent end panelas 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 flange under-neath at the joint. Both vent end panels fit between thetwo tabs on the connector flange.

4. Install the vent over the opening using the proper foamclosure to suit the roof cladding profile. Make sure thefoam closure does not block drainage holes in the roofflange.

VICWEST 10’ RIDGE VENT

5. Vent should be fastened on the ribs of roof cladding anda generous bead of caulking must be applied between theridge cover and the vent end flanges or connector 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 closureand the requirement to leave a vent space at the ridgeline, it will be necessary to use a larger Ridge Cap thannormal. Style RR-8 Ridge is recommended.)

7

If re-roofing over shingles, strap up each side of the hip,checking the flashing (hip cap) for proper placement of thenailer.

Cut the angle required on the steel panel and install on thehip. Apply Valley & Hip Sealer down both sides of the hipand screw the hip cap on, using a Woodgrip screw at eachrib as shown on the drawing.

STEP 10 OPTIONS

SNOW RESTRAINTDrifts of snow and ice accumulating on top of homes may sud-denly cascade down and off roofs. This can tear off gutters andcause damage to people or objects below.

The potential for snow pile-up on a roof can vary greatly, de-pending on building location and geometry. If significant load-ing is expected on a restraining system, an engineered systemappropriately anchored to the building structure should be in-vestigated. If minor loading is envisioned, one of the follow-ing options may be appropriate.

1. SNOWGUARDSSnow guards may hold back or retard the movement of snowor ice.

2. POLAR BLOXThis polycarbonate product is intended to solve the problemof ice and snow movement. This item must be installed in ac-cordance with the manufacturer’s directions:

1) Apply a transparent silicone sealant to the base (non-aceticacid type on Galvalume or Galvanized roofs).

2) Using 2 self-tapping #14 screwsw/neoprene washers, screw through thePolar Blox and roofing material into thepurlin or structural support.

Steel roofing installed flat on Underlayment. This procedureis also applicable to a re-roof after existing shingles are re-moved and underlayment installed.

INSTRUCTIONS - STEP 1Draw a diagram of the roof or structure that you will becladding.

To accurately estimate and order your newVICWEST prod-uct, all measurements must be precise and included on yourdrawing. Include all valley lengths, cottage roof hip lengths,dormer sizes, rafter (measure from centre of ridge to outsideof fascia board; do not deduct from this measurement) andridge lengths, and the location and sizes of all chimneys, sky-lights and vent pipes.

Begin to apply sheets. Starting from left to right, depending onthe prevailing wind direction, fasten the first sheet at the gableend with a #12 truss head screw on 16” centres up the entirelength of the sheet. On the flange side of the sheet, fasten sameas gable.

2nd Sheet: Starting at the top or bottom, place sheet lap over ribto cover screwed down flange. Lock panel in place by tappingrib with a rubber mallet, traversing up or down the sheet againto make a tight lock.

CAUTION: Do not start at both ends and snap together to-wards the middle!

3rd Sheet: Same as 2nd, and so on.

Check regularly to ensure that the sheets are square and adjustaccordingly if out of alignment.

STEP 6At the bottom of the sheets, install three 1” screws in the flatarea of the sheet as per the drawing on the right. At rib overlaps,install a 2” screw in the top of the rib as an aid against thesheets pulling apart.

STEP 7As you proceed across the roof, install flashings as required.

STEP 8Fasten ridge cap and/or vented ridge using Woodgrip screws ateach rib. The use of Large Tab Foam (over sheet) is highly rec-ommended between the cap and the sheet.

STEP 4Install the valley flashings using small galvanized nails to holdthem in place. Screws will be applied later, securing them per-manently. Valley & Hip Sealer must be applied on top of thewing of the valley flashing, between the roof panels. This willensure a water-tight joint.

UPLIFT COMMENTARYWind uplift to be resisted by the roof panels depends on anumber of factors, including building location and height,roof shape and construction, etc.

Uplift will also often be higher near the corners and/or theperimeter of the roof area. In many cases, installing Vic/Eliteas described in the application guide is satisfactory.

If wind uplift is expected to be higher than normal, fastenerspacing closer than 16” is recommended.

Under some extreme conditions, it may also be necessary toprovide additional stitch fasteners at the ribs to prevent the dis-engagement of the side lap.

NOTES

NOTE

VENTED RIDGE CAP, RAPID RIDGE OR VICWEST’S VENTEDFOAM CLOSURE (see pgs. 4 & 5) (FOR ULTRA-VIC, VIC/ELITEand SNAP RIB) IS AMUST ON ANY ROOF APPLICATION.

to the requirements of ASTM A653 or ASTM A653M as applicable.(b) Continuous hot dipped aluminum zinc alloy coated sheet steel

conforming to the requirements of ASTM A792 or ASTM A792Mas applicable.

3.0 PAINT QUALIFICATION TESTS3.1 Film Thickness(a) The exposed surface shall have a dry �lm thickness of 25 m ± 5 m

(1.0 ± 0.2 mils).(b) The unexposed or reverse side shall have a dry �lm thickness, which

will vary in accordance with the customer’s requirements.(c) Test Method: ASTM D1005 or NCCA 4.2.1.

3.2 Film CureThe baked �lm shall withstand one hundred and �fty (150) doubleMEK rubs in accordance with ASTM D5402 or NCCA 4.2.11.

3.3 Film Hardness (Pencil Method)(a) Paint �lm hardness is measured by means of a set of calibrated draw-

ing leads (Berol Turquoise T2375 or equivalent). The Pencil Hardnessis speci�ed as the �rst pencil grade that will not rupture the paint �lmwhen sharpened to a round �at point and applied at a 45° to the paintsurface. 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 speci�ed

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 of provendurability shall successfully meet the following weathering standards:

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

5.2 ChalkingDuring the �rst 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, orNCAA 5.5.2.

5.3 Colour ChangeDuring the �rst 30 years of exterior exposure, the colour change invertical applications shall not exceed �ve (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 re�ectance 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.
