Installing rolled roofing no longer has to be a life-threatening experience. CCW EZRoof, a product manufactured by Carlisle, makes torching and hot-asphalt mopping a thing of the past. This self-adhering, peel-and-stick product is made for waterproofing low-slope roofs (from 1” to 6” per foot) and installs easily, quickly, and painlessly.
EZRoof makes installing rolled roofing simple, too. First, unroll it and then cut it into workable sections, rolling it back up as you finish. Prepare the deck of the roof by making sure dust, debris, and any protrusions have been removed. 
If removing an existing roof, take off and discard old shingles, roofing felt, nails, and any decking that has been broken or damaged.
Part of installing rolled roofing includes applying an asphaltic primer to the deck. For each 200 to 300 square feet, you’ll need to use one gallon of primer and allow it to cure for half an hour before installing rolled roofing.
When you begin installing rolled roofing, nail the metal drip edge to the deck at the rake and eave, and then place the EZRoof with the adhesive zip strip facing the top of the roof. Beginning at the lowest part of the roof, peel back 12” to 24” of the backing. Align with the lower edge of the deck and press firmly into place.
Tear away the release film as you work when installing rolled roofing, pressing with a metal hand roller, if possible, to keep the EZRoof smooth. Panel ends should then be overlapped by six inches with a generous bead of mastic applied to the area for good adhesion. Roll the seams as you go with the hand roller or by applying smooth pressure with your foot. For subsequent rows, be sure and overlap the EZRoof while installing rolled roofing to ensure proper and adequate sealing against moisture.
Once you’ve used this product when installing rolled roofing, you’re sure to never use anything else! EZRoof makes installing rolled roofing easier than ever. So what’re you waiting for? Get EZRoof - and take the headache out of installing rolled roofing.
