Installation Tips

Hip Roof Installation

  • Cut the slot along the ridge to within 12 inches of the end of the ridge. Install Roof Saver along the entire length of the ridge. Do not cut slots or install Roof Saver along the hips of the roof. (click here for Illustration)

Obstruction Along Ridge

  • Cut the slots along the ridge to within 12 inches of each side of the obstruction. Install Roof Saver along the ridge, butting up against the obstruction. (click here for Illustration)

T and L Style Roofs

  • Cut slots along the ridge to within 12 inches of each side of the ridge intersections. - First install Roof Saver along the entire long run of the ridge.
  • Then install Roof Saver along the short run of the ridge so the ridge vent butts up against the Roof Saver already installed on the long run. (click here for Illustration)
