Ice panels are packaged 12 to a carton (32" wide x 36" high).
Panel fasteners come 40 to a bundle and must be hand formed
prior to installation. An average of 4 rake caps are needed
for installation. Use the chart below to determine how many
Ice Panels are needed to protect your roof. Ice Panels are
available in Mill Finish Aluminum and Copper. Panel is required
for each 2 1/2' of roof.

1.
To begin installation, remove
the 6th and 7th rows of shingles (Figure 1). The remaining
shingles need not be stripped away.
2.
Working from left to right, place
the first Ice Panel on the roof squarely and slide it
up tightly against the front edge of the roof. Nail
Ice Panel to the roof approximately 1" from top.
Squeeze drip edge firmly around roof overhang with wide
mouth pliers.
3.
Ice Panel fasteners are supplied
flat. Each fastener must be formed by hand. Attach and
nail fasteners at 2", 16", and 22" intervals
from the drip edge.
4.
The left edge of the roof can
now be fitted with the rake cap. Install cap over upright
joint. Caulking compound may be used in the interlocking
joints for a better seal. Squeeze seams with wide mouth
pliers and nail to the roof rake.
5.
Place next Ice Panel in position,
overlapping previous panel's upright joint and slide
up, interlocking drip edge at left. Attach panel fasteners
and squeeze joints.
6.
When last panel is in place at
extreme right, attach rake cap in same manner as cap
at left edge.
7.
Flatten the upright interlocking
joints on each Ice Panel with a hammer 6" down
from the top, working from right to left. This will
ensure a tight fit for the covering shingles.
8.
Replace the shingle. The 1st row
with the tabs up. The 2nd row directly over the 1st,
with the tabs down. Remaining shingles should be applied
in normal fashion.
Valley Flashing:
for use with Ice Panels, comes 3' long with a 30 degree
bend and is 16" wide.
Panel Fasteners secure the Ice
Panel to the roof.
Rake Cap seals the edge of the
Ice Panel to the roof's edge.
