Article Number

Condition
ASPHALT SHINGLES NOT SEALED
Acceptable Performance/Condition
Asphalt shingles and self-sealing asphalt shingles shall be secured according to the Building Code.
Warranty
One-Year - Work and Materials
Action
Shingles not meeting the acceptable condition shall be repaired.
Remarks
Asphalt shingles installed in temperatures below 5°C will seal when warmer temperatures return. In the short term, unsealed shingles should not affect the weather protection provided by the roof. Where asphalt shingles intersect metal flashing, shingles may not seal. This condition is not a defect in work and materials.
