The Solution
The Roofers Tape Measure is a solution for Roofers who don't like taking the extra time adding up fractions to get the right layout to install shingles with a 5-5/8 reveal. This tape has a simple, and accurate layout of red points and red arrows at 5-5/8 intervals throughout the 25ft. blade.
All leading brands of shingles such as GAF, Certaineed, Tamko, and Owens Corning, have a 5-5/8 reveal. But roofers today still use a standard tape measure to mark off roof on 11" inches, or every other line. Although, this is easy to understand and is in use, Roofers are losing 1/4 inch per mark, and are using more shingles than what is needed to complete job.
Every Line or Every Other Line or any Chalk Line Layout
If crew members prefer to mark and layout roof on every line, then mark both red points and red arrows. Or, if they choose to mark and layout roof on every other line, then mark red arrows only. The Roofers Tape Measure design enables crew members to mark at any 5-5/8 intervals. Examples: 11-1/4, 16-7/8, 22-1/2, or at 45's or any where on blade up to 300 inches on 25ft. Tape.
Shingles with a Six-Inch Reveal
In using the Roofers Tape Measure it's also a convenient way to mark and layout roof for standard size shingles too, because the feet inches on the standard tape measure are not on The Roofers Tape Measure, except at all even feet. The feet indicators enables crew members to mark and layout roof on every other line that has a six-inch reveal. For example the Atlas Prolam shingle has a (6") six-inch reveal.
