EUROPE SHINGLE They are aesthetic, bitumen-based roofings fitted with 120gr/m 2 fiberglass carrier, APP modified, coated with mineral stones in various colors – HDPE Laminated undersurface – and shaped with decorative patterns.
Advantages
- It is a long-life material resistant to tough weather conditions, and decorative with color assortment easy and fast to apply.
- As it does not necessitate zinc, gutter, groove, or ridge, it can be applied on all sloped surfaces easily without any problems, thanks to its elasticity.
- It is light and therefore does not press on the roof extremely.
- It does not cause deformation of the roof. It enables you to have problem-free and sound roofs.
- It is absolutely waterproof.
Europe Shingle is an indispensable material for constructions.
For its application, a water-resistant, very smooth – rigid ( immobile, not flaking etc.) – wooden floor is absolutely necessary. It must be applied by professional workers absolutely. Special care must be given to the chemical structure of the bitumen asphalt, weight of equipment in grams, and climatic conditions of the region of application. Oxidized Bituminous Shingle must not be used especially in hot climate zones.
Benefits of APP: APP Shingles can be applied trough adhering by torching as well as fixing through nailing. This advantage eliminates peeping and leakages possible to emerge in nailing method, and also does not break or crack thanks to its elastic structure arisen from APP.

APPLICATION
in nailing application, 2.5 cm long, galvanized, broad-headed special Shingle nails must be used; and each board must be fixed with 4 nails. Number of the nails to be used on roofs steeper than 160% and all kinds of façade applications must be 6 units/board. Under normal circumstances, adhesion to each other of the Europe Shingle boards automatically occurs within time with the pressure impact stemming from its weight and heating of the Sun. Nevertheless, in the event that the adhesion is insufficient due to winter conditions, the lapping sections should be heated through torching and slightly pressed towards each other. Since factors like dirt, dust, and humidity arising from working conditions also affects adhesion, this must be checked thoroughly at the end of the work absolutely. In parts requiring special details, bitumen-based cold adhesives must be used as adhesive in oxidized-bituminous Shingles. In APP' Shingles (Europe Shingle), however, adhering must be made through heating by torch.
As the Europe Shingle is added with APP its undersurface can be adhered through heating by torch as well. This is an application advantage that APP gives and special to APP and SBS Shingles only. Thus, it eliminates uplift and leakages possible to emerge in nailing method, and also does not break or crack thanks to its elastic structure arisen from APP.
