R905.2.5 Fasteners. Section identifies the kind of nails to be used for asphalt shingle installation. IRC Sect R905.2.6 Attachment. Section states asphalt shingles shall have the minimum number of fasteners required by the manufacturer. He believes that they talking about manufacturer recommendations on the nailing pattern - but still talking about nails rather than staples - even though manufacturers do allow use of staples. IRC Sect. R1 04.11 Alternative materials. design and methods of construction and equipment. He stated an alternative material, design or method of construction shall be approved where the building official finds that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the intent of the provisions of this code and that the material, method or work offered is, for the purposed intended, at least the equivalent of that prescribed in this code. Past practices have been to allow the manufacturer's installation instructions as to "fasteners and nailing". Should the decision be made to utilize only nails, a clarification policy can implement the change immediately. CLARIFICATION POLICY ON ASPHALT ROOF SHINGLES INSTALLATION/INSPECTIONS City of La Porte, Texas Planning Department Policy Effective 01/16/09 Policy to clarify Asphalt Roof Shingles Installation/Inspections #P2009-00 1. Purpose: To ensure proper installation of asphalt roof shingles for basic wind speed of 120 mph for both residential and non-residential structures. Timing: Permanent policy for use by the public and staff Policy: All asphalt roof shingles shall be a minimum of Class F shingles and installed with nails (regardless of whether the manufacturer allows the use of staples). Nailing shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's printed installation instructions. Owner and contractor shall be responsible for ensuring the use of Class F shingles. The shingle wrapper shall be retained to confirm compliance of applicable material. Within 30-days of permit issuance, a final approval on the installed roof is required. The Owner and/or Contractor shall be responsible for providing the City with a certification letter by a Texas licensed engineer (original seal/signature required) ~ or- ICC certified Coastal Construction & Floodplain Inspector (certificate #//signature required). Letter shall certify: 1) Class F shingles were used: 2) shingles were properly installed with nails (not staples): and 3) the proper number of nails were used. NOTE: For properties east of New Highway 146, compliance with the additional Texas Department oflnsurance (TDI) windstorm requirements is voluntary. However, many insurance companies require state approval before they will insure roofs, so we recommend you talk with your insurance agent on their requirements. Also, for requirements/inspections by TDI, you may contact them at #281-474-5025.
