The Roofers Tape The Roofers Tape main feature is a 5 5/8 inch layout design of red points and red arrows. It is a full numbered tape and is scaled down to one-sixteenth of an inch. This layout design of red points and red arrows enables the Roofer to mark and lay-off roof for architectural shingles with a 5 5/8 reveal. The Roofers Tape is the only tape with the every line or every other line design. Roofers will mark both red points and red arrows for every chalk line or mark red arrows only for every other chalk line. By marking red arrows only Roofers can lay-off roof in a short amount of time without any mistakes. The Roofers Tape has black points six inches before any even three-feet to aid the Roofer in marking short vertical starter lines or bond lines for standard 3-tab shingles. The tape is best for laying-off standard size shingles too, because the feet-inches on a standard tape are not on The Roofers Tape except at all even feet. The feet indicators aids the Roofer in laying-off roof for architectural shingles with every other line that has a six-inch reveal. ex: The Atlas Prolam Shingle. Roofers who use the 5 5/8 or 11 1/4 lay-out of The Roofers Tape instead of using the standard lay-out of 11 inches will save money by using less shingles (2/3 square less) on an average size roof; And The Roofers Tape complies with the factory installation requirements for the 5 5/8 reveal.
