Roofing paper which side up.

All drip edges along roof eaves valley liners and flashing need to be installed before the roof paper layer is laid down. Continue overlapping strips up each side of the roof leaving the peaks uncovered. Many rolls are pre striped allowing installers to keep a straight line when applying roll strips to the roof side by side. Red rosin paper is a high quality single ply sheathing paper which is widely used in built up roofing systems as a first layer protective barrier.

Cover the peaks by laying the center of a strip of tar paper along the peak. It is commonly called 15lb paper. This environmentally friendly paper is manufactured from 100 recycled fibers. The fibers are set in alum to resist bleeding.

Fold it down over the peak so that. Begin at the bottom edges of the roof and go up. Lay the first strip of tar paper side to side with its bottom edge along the edge of the roof. Only a drip edge along the roof rakes is installed after the paper.

Primarily used for roofs you can also use tar paper to line exterior walls before finishing them. Place the sticky side down when laying tar paper. Tar paper always goes on the outside of buildings and its primary use is as a waterproofing agent. Place just enough tacks to hold down the tar paper.
