Titanium® UDL30 Installation Instructions | Owens Corning Roofing
Skip to main content

Titanium® UDL30 is an air, water and vapor barrier and therefore should be installed above a properly ventilated space(s). It is recommended to follow all building codes applicable to your geographical region and structure type.

Deck Prep

Titanium® UDL30 should be applied to a properly prepared dry deck that is smooth, clean and free from any depressions, projections or protruding nails. Acceptable roof deck materials are minimum 6" roof (nominal) deck boards, minimum ⅜" plywood, minimum 7/16" OSB, sheathing spaced minimum ⅛" and maximum ¼". Roof decks should be structurally sound and meet or exceed minimum requirements of the roof deck manufacturer and local building codes.

Use

UDL30 must be covered by primary roofing within 180 days of application. UDL30 is designed for use under asphalt, metal and composite shingles.

Application

For slopes 4:12 and higher, UDL30 is to be laid out horizontally (parallel) to the eave with the printed side up. Horizontal laps should be 4" and vertical laps should be 6" and anchored approximately 1" in from the edge. For low-slope applications (less than 4:12), it is recommended to overlap 50% plus 2". For complete definition of low slope and guidelines, consult authorities having jurisdiction. UDL30 product is not recommended for slopes less than 2:12. The use of a roofing hammer, hatchet hammer, pneumatic air or gas-driven fastener tools is acceptable. The use of a straight-edge cutting knife is recommended.

Fasteners

If Titanium® UDL30 product will be exposed longer than 1 day but less than 5 days, it can be anchored using corrosive-resistant ⅜″ head x 1″ leg roofing nails (ring shank preferred). Use of every other anchoring point in the field is acceptable. The use of every other anchoring location printed on the product is also acceptable. DO NOT USE STAPLES: The use of staples to fasten UDL30 will void warranty.

Anchoring

All anchoring nails must be flush, 90 degrees to the roof deck, and tight with the underlayment surface and the structural roof deck. Where seams and joints require sealant or adhesive, use a low-solvent plastic roofing cement meeting ASTM D-4586 Type 1, or Federal Spec SS-153 Type 1.

Extended Exposure

For exposure more than 5 days and up to 180 days, UDL30 product must be anchored with 1" plastic or metal cap smooth or ring shank roofing nails. Miami-Dade approved tin tags and nails or metal caps are also acceptable, and it is recommended for best performance to use with the rough edge facing up. For extended exposure, it is always recommended to anchor on every printed position on the facer. Note: UDL30 is not designed for indefinite outdoor exposure. For extended exposure conditions where driving rain or strong winds are expected, it is recommended to take additional precautions such as doubling the lap widths. Alternatively, or in addition to, a compatible sealant could be used between the laps, or a peel and stick tape could be applied to the overlaps.

Caution

Always follow safe roofing practices and OSHA safety requirements. Always wear and use fall protection devices when working on roofs. Use caution when walking or standing on Titanium® UDL30 in wet or dusty conditions that may reduce traction. Failure to use proper safety equipment and footwear can result in serious injury.
