Understand your roof
Eyebrow roofs
Ask your roofer
- What goes on the eyebrow: shingles or a membrane?
Ask them to put the answer in writing.
Why it matters
Shingles crack and lift on a tight curve like an eyebrow over a window.
How it should be built
Tap Next on the drawing to see it go together, layer by layer.
- Edge metal goes down first along the curved edge.
- One piece of rubber covers the curve, with no seams.
- Transition metal ties it to the roof above, and seam tape seals the edges.
- Shingles go on from the eave up, lapping over the transition metal.
