ADVANTA Shingle’s patented four-way interlock design guards against wind
driven rain and prevents wind uplift. Panels measure 1’ x 3’ with a 3 square
foot net coverage area. There are seventeen (17) panels per carton and two
(2) cartons per square (100 square feet). Panels weigh 95 pounds per square.
Minimum recommended pitch is 3:12, subject to building codes.
Review and understand
complete guide before
beginning installation.
This guide has been prepared
as suggested details to
particular design conditions.
Each condition has certain
limitations to per formance, aesthetics
or economics. Professionals qualified to assess the
information regarding suitability for a specific project
should determine that the selection and installation
are made to their requirements. ATAS cannot assume
any responsibility for the actual selection and/or
installation of materials. The panels, flashings and trim
shown in this guide, illustrated over solid and plumb
substrate, assume that the structure has been
designed and prepared in accordance with local
building codes.
Panel Installation Detail
Snap a vertical line to square up the roof
plane with the eave line. Start in the
bottom left hand corner of the roof
plane with a full length panel. Install
shingles in a left to right manner
starting from the eave. Panel sidelaps
should be staggered with a 12-inch
typical setback. Repeat with a full length
panel every fourth row. Panels are prepunched to accommodate five fasteners
per panel. There are 170 fasteners per
square. Manufacturer recommends
using 2” ring shank, galvanized roofing
nails; however, a pneumatic fastener
gun with fasteners that have equivalent
pull out values can also be used. Screw
fastening may be utilized for increased
uplift resistance.

Left/Right End Lap Joint
**Recommended solid substrate is a minimum 5/8-inch exterior grade plywood or equivalent. Advanta Shingles can be applied over existing roofing materials
in accordance with local building codes. Current roof deck should be structurally sound and capable of anchoring fasteners.
Published panel width dimensions are to be considered as nominal dimensions. Overall panel width dimensions may vary during installation due to
adjustments to accommodate as built roof conditions.

1. In re-roofing applications: cut back and remove
existing shingles and drip edging to be flush with
the eave and gable lines.
2. In all applications: apply ATA-Shield** along eave
and up the roof to a point at least 24” beyond
outside face of exterior wall.
3. Install drip edge against fascia trim. Space
fasteners at a maximum of 12” o.c. Overlap drip
edge a minimum of 3”.
4. Beginning on top of drip edge install ATA-Guard*
to roof.
5. Refer to gable and/or valley details as required
before installing panels.
6. Attach the lower flanged edge of the shingle over
the drip edge. Square the panel in the channel
trim at the gable edge and fasten with a ring shank
grommeted nail. (See panel installation section.)
Gable Detail
1. Apply drip edge over ATA-Shield at gable. Make
sure to overlap the drip edge at the eave line.
2. Apply butyl caulk tape to drip edge.
3. Lay the channel trim over drip edge as shown.
Overlap channel trim a minimum of 3”.
4. Align the first shingle into the channel trim and
snap a line across the roof plane.
(See panel installation section.)
Note: Notch bottom flange of panel as needed to
allow for proper drainage at eave/gable juncture
and other similar conditions.
Valley Detail
1. Install ATA-Shield** 18” up both sides
of the valley line.
2. Install the valley pan and clip fasten
through the substrate 24” o.c. Overlap
valley pans at a minimum of 6”. Install
ATA-Guard* 6” over edge of valley pan.
3. Lay shingles onto the valley pan
maintaining a 4” clearance from the
valley’s center.
Underlayments: ATA-Guard* is a polyolefin based, 100% asphalt free,
high strength reinforced roofing underlayment for use beneath
metal roofing on steep slope applications. 1000 sq. ft. per roll at 48”
wide.
Underlayments: ATA-Shield** is the recommended self adhesive
underlayment for eaves, sidewall and any critical areas exposed to ice
damming and extensive water run off. Available in 65’-8” x 39 ⁄” rolls
(200 sq. ft. per roll).

Hip and ridge applications are handled in the same
manner.
1. Install Advanta shingles to hip or ridge.
2. Apply expandable sealant tape to ridge cap;
place just behind returned edge of cap.
3. Secure the cap with 2” x 5/16” painted/gasketed
screws approx. 24” o.c. Make sure the screw
penetrates the expandable sealant between metal.
Note: Make sure to fasten the caps to the high point on
the shingle in order to avoid dimpling, and make sure the
screw penetrates the cap through the expandable
sealant tape into the solid substrate. Ridge caps can
accommodate standard ridge venting products. Refer to
venting manufacturer’s instructions and local building
code requirements.
Headwall Detail
Install appropriate underlayment to the edge.
1. Install metal shingles up to the headwall.
2. Apply expandable sealant tape to headwall trim
just behind hem.
3. Set trim and secure using 2” x 5/16” painted
gasketed screws at 24” o.c. on the sloped side
to the trim.
Note: Make sure to fasten the caps to the high point on the
shingle in order to avoid dimpling, and make sure the screw
penetrates the cap through the expandable sealant tape into
the solid substrate.
Shed Ridge Detail
1. Install metal shingles up to the roof peak.
2. Apply expandable sealant tape to ridge cap;
place just behind returned edge.
3. Set trim and secure using 2” x 5/16” painted
gasketed screws at 24” o.c. on the sloped side
of the peak trim.
4. Fasten peak trim with 2” x 5/16” painted
gasketed screws at 24” o.c.
Note: Make sure to fasten the caps to the high point on the
shingle in order to avoid dimpling, and make sure the screw
penetrates the cap through the expandable sealant tape into
the solid substrate.

1. Install ATA-Shield** along roof plane
and up sidewall.
2. Notch bottom flange of panel 3 1/4” from end
for proper overlayment of the step flashing onto
the lower shingle.
3. Place step flashing against the sidewall and
fasten 1” from the top with one ring shank
grommetted nail. Repeat Steps 2 & 3 for each
course.
4. Install the panel up to the wall. Fasten the panel
as close to the wall as possible without
penetrating the step flashing.
5. Install the sidewall trim and fasten to wall with
ring shank grommetted nail at 2’-0” o.c.
Note: If the wall treatment is siding it should lay over
the sidewall trim. If brick or stucco, a reglet should be
used with counter flashing to seal.
Note Regarding Trim Details
The application of flashing and trim requires a detailed approach. Consideration should be given to the roof ’s geometry and course it creates for
water run-off. Location of gutters and the use of snow retention systems should also be considered. Proper planning regarding the sequence of
material overlap is critical. Sealants, such as butyl tapes and tripolymers, should be used at overlapping trim edges, in conjunction with exposed
fasteners, and to seal flashings. All fasteners should be properly tightened and not overdriven at an angle. Fasteners that are too loose can “back out”
over time. An overdriven fastener may cause a depression in the material, which becomes a collection point for standing water.
Pipe Detail
Step 1
Cut on the proper pipe
diameter marked on the
flashing.

Step 2
down the pipe.
Apply polyurethane sealant
to the bottom of the base.
1. Never cut the panels with an abrasive cut-off wheel or torch, as this will damage
the finish.
2. Do not weld the trim or panels.
3. Remove any small burrs left by cutting, screwing or drilling.
4. Remove protective masking immediately after trim and panels are installed.
5. Caution should be taken when unloading the panels to prevent damage.
6. Use appropriate screws for the type of underlayment and long enough to fully
penetrate and secure the panel.
7. The stored materials should be kept dry.
8. Do not cut on finished roof. Remove all drill spirals, chips and dust immediately.
9. Seal neoprene closures and soft cell foam by applying appropriate sealant to
both surfaces.
10. Put appropriate sealant/butyl tape between overlapping trims.
11. Overlap trims in a manner not to impede the flow of water.
Step 3
Mold the flexible base to the
Step 4
panel contours.
Follow these simple rules:
Step 5
Fasten with ¼” x
1 ⁄” drilling
fastener every 1½”
around the base.
