Installation direction, fastening and assembling

The DS.19 shingles are laid from right to left and should be laid in rows (in horizontal rows).

Each DS.19 shingle is fastened with a clip and a supplied 2.8/25 grooved nail (= standard fastening for built-up areas).

In areas particularly prone to storms, a wind load calculation is required and fastenings must be adjusted according to the calculation.

The first DS.19 shingle is to be fixed with a nail to the left of the sloping fold in each row in order to prevent it from being shifted sideways (Image 1).
Adjust R.16 roof panel and push into the rebates.
Fasten the DS.19 shingle to the punched-out notch marked with an “H” using a patent clip and a supplied 2.8/25 grooved nail.
The notch on the lower shingle fold indicates the position of the fold of the following DS.19 shingle that runs diagonally downwards (Fig. 2).
The two notches on the sloping fold of the DS.19 shingle mark the lower or upper end of the bead at the top of the shingle cover of the DS.19 shingle underneath (Image 3).
Carefully follow all indentations.

Note

Due to the shape of the DS.19 shingle, there is a lowering at the heel of the DS. 19 shingle. Keep to this lowering when laying the first DS.19 shingle in each row by not pushing the first DS.19 shingel all the way to the top in the starter strip or fold. Leave the heel of the first DS.19 shingle until the upper shingle fold runs straight through over the entire length. Avoid covering the first DS.19 shingle
