5 <br />the remainder of the Algae-Resistant Warranty Period, CertainTeed’s maximum contribution towards <br />subsequent replacement or cleaning will be calculated using the Algae-Resistant Warranty Period <br />specified in Table 1, less a prorated adjustment that reflects the number of months that have elapsed <br />from the start of the Algae-Resistant Warranty Period to the date of reoccurrence. <br />WARNING: FOR LOW-VOLUME RAIN AND SALT FOG AREAS <br />In areas of low-volume rain (e.g. areas that receive insignificant rainfall during a 90-day period) and/ <br />or “salt fog” (e.g. parts of the Southern California coastline), copper released by algae-resistant (AR) <br />granules or shingles can react with aluminum in gutters and cause severe corrosion of the gutters. In <br />such regions, CertainTeed strongly recommends that vinyl or copper gutters, not aluminum gutters, be <br />used with algae-resistant shingles. CertainTeed disclaims all liability and responsibility for any damages <br />that may result from the use of its algae-resistant shingle products with copper granules where gutters <br />containing aluminum are used. <br />Limited Wind Warranty <br />CertainTeed warrants its shingles will resist blow-off damage due to wind velocities, including gusts, up <br />to the maximum wind velocity per the Wind Warranty MPH specified in Table 1 during the first fifteen <br />(15) years of the warranty for Lifetime products and during the first five (5) years for all other products <br />listed in Table 1. <br />CertainTeed’s obligations and liability for shingle blow-off damage during the wind warranty periods as <br />specified above are limited as follows: <br />• If shingles or hip/ridge accessories blow off because the self-sealing asphalt strips did not <br />activate, CertainTeed will furnish replacement shingles without charge, but only for damaged or <br />blown off shingles. <br />• If shingles or hip/ridge accessories blow off before the self-sealing asphalt strips could have <br />reasonably activated due to installation in cold weather, CertainTeed will furnish replacement shingles <br />without charge, but only for damaged or blown off shingles. CertainTeed will not be responsible for <br />or reimburse labor costs, roof tear-off, metal work, flashing and disposal expenses, or any other costs <br />pertaining to removal or replacement of damaged shingles. Any costs in excess of CertainTeed’s <br />material contribution are the property owner’s responsibility (and may be covered by owner’s <br />insurance). <br />• CertainTeed shall have no liability for any shingles not fastened in accordance with CertainTeed <br />installation instructions published at the time of original installation. <br />• CertainTeed shall have no liability for any damage to persons or property caused by blown off <br />shingles. <br />• CertainTeed’s maximum liability during the Limited Wind Warranty period is the reasonable cost of <br />hand sealing all of the shingles on the roof. <br />Flintlastic® Low-Slope SA (Self-Adhered) System <br />For low slope residential roofing projects less than 2000 square feet (20 squares), CertainTeed offers <br />a roof membrane limited warranty provided the Flintlastic products were applied in accordance with <br />CertainTeed’s current installation instructions published at the time of installation as follows: <br />• A 10-year warranty duration on a single ply of Flintlastic SA Cap sheet over a primed plywood <br />roof deck. <br />• A 12-year warranty duration for a two-ply system consisting of a Flintlastic SA NailBase and a <br />Flintlastic SA Cap sheet*. <br />• A 15-year warranty duration for a three-ply system consisting of a Flintlastic SA NailBase and a <br />Flintlastic SA PlyBase and a Flintlastic SA Cap sheet*. <br />• A 20-year warranty duration for a three-ply system consisting of a Flintlastic SA NailBase and a <br />Flintlastic SA MidPly and a Flintlastic SA Cap sheet*. <br />CertainTeed warrants the roof membrane, subject to the following terms, conditions, limitations, <br />and exclusions, for the duration specified above from the date of completion of the roof membrane <br />installation. If during the duration of this Limited Warranty, a manufacturing defect in the roof <br />membrane causes a leak, CertainTeed or its designated roofing contractor will, at CertainTeed’s sole <br />discretion, repair or replace the roof membrane materials only as necessary to restore it to a <br />watertight condition. <br />*Direct adhesion to wood, without the inclusion of the Flintlastic SA NailBase is permitted; direct adhesion to wood is <br />not permitted by code in Miami-Dade County (check your local building code); direct adhesion to wood plank decks <br />constructed of resinous woods, such as pine, is prohibited.
