2.0 USES
VersaShield® Fire -Resistant Roof Deck Protection
(previously known as VersaShield® Underlayment) is used
as an alternative to ASTM D226, Type I or Type 11, roofing
underlayment specified in Chapter 15 of the IBC and
Chapter 9 of the IRC. -
When installed in accordance with Section 4.2.1 of this
report, VersaShield® Fire -Resistant Roof Deck Protection
can also be used over existing wood shakes or shingles as
an alternative to the covering materials specified in Section
1510.4 of the IBC or Section R907.4 of the IRC.
VersaShield® Fire -Resistant Roof Deck Protection is also
used as a component of classified roofing assemblies as
described in Section 4.3, when installed in accordance with
this report.
3.0 DESCRIPTION
VersaShield® Fire -Resistant Roof Deck Protection is
a resin -bound chopped -glass -fiber substrate, coated on
both sides with a mineral -filled aqueous coating. The
underlayment has a weight of 15 pounds per 100 square
feet (0.73 kghl, and is supplied in rolls.
4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 General:
VersaShield® Fire -Resistant Roof Deck -Protection is
installed in accordance with the requirements of the
applicable code, the manufacturer's published installation
instructions and this report. The manufacturer's published
installation instructions are to be available at -the jobsite
during the installation.
VersaShield° Fire -Resistant Roof Deck Protection is
limited to use over spaced or solid sheathing, or over
existing asphalt shingles, wood shakes or wood shingles
installed on spaced or solid sheathing. Prior to application
of the underlayment, the deck surface is to be free of dust
and dirt, loose nails and other protrusions. Damaged
sheathing is to be replaced. The underlayment is applied at
right angles to the slope of the roof, beginning at the low
point of the roof, and is laid with minimum 2 -inch (51 mm)
horizontal and 6 -inch (152 mm) vertical lapped joints. It is
attached with a sufficient number of nails, having tin caps
or 1 -inch -diameter (25.4 mm) plastic caps, to hold the
underlayment in place until the roof covering is applied,
except in areas subject to high winds where the
underlayment fastening must comply with the high wind
attachment requirements specified in Section 1507 of the
2012 IBC or Section R905 of the 2012 IRC. The
underlayment may be bent to a minimum 1/2 -inch
(12.7 mm) radius, but is not to be creased. At junctions
between the roof deck and vertical surfaces, the
underlayment is installed a minimum of 3 inches (76 mm)
up the vertical surface.
In areas of the roof required to have an ice barrier under
Chapter 15 of the IBC or Chapter 9 of the IRC, a self-
adhesive polymer bitumen sheet, complying with ASTM
D1970 or the ICC -ES Acceptance Criteria for Self -adhered
Underlayments for Use as Ice Barriers (AC48), is to be
applied. The underlayment is to be applied over the solid
substrate in sufficient courses so that the underlayment
extends up the roof a distance equal to the distance inside
the exterior wall line of the building that is specified by the
applicable code. The underlayment, applied in the field of
the roof, is to completely overlap the ice barrier (severe
climate underlayment) protection a minimum of 2 inches
(51 mm).
Installation of the roof covering can proceed immediately
following the underlayment application. The underlayment
is to be covered by a roof covering within the time set forth
in the manufacturers published installation instructions.

4.2 Reroofing:
The existing roof must be inspected in accordance with
Section 1510 of the IBC or Section R907 of the IRC. The
new roof covering is installed over the VersaShield®
Fire -Resistant Roof Deck Protection in accordance with the
roof covering manufacturer's published installation
instructions. The new roof covering must be recognized in
a current ICC -ES evaluation report, and, when applicable,
the evaluation report must address installation over wood
shake, wood shingle or asphalt shingle roofs.
4.2.1 Existing Wood Shakes or Shingles: Where the
application of a new roof covering over wood shingle or
shake roofs creates a combustible concealed space,
VersaShield® Fire -Resistant Roof Deck Protection can be
used as an alternative to the covering materials specified
in Section 1510.4 of the IBC or Section R907.4 of the IRC.
The underlayment covers the entire existing wood roof.
Battens used for the new roof covering system are
installed over the underlayment. The underlayment may be
placed under or over counterbattens, spaced a maximum
of 24 inches (610 mm) on center. The underlayment is
fastened to the counterbattens with a sufficient number of
nails, having tin caps or 1 -inch -diameter (25.4 mm) plastic
caps, to hold the underlayment in place until the
horizontal battens and roof covering are applied. When
counterbattens are installed over the underlayment or
when counterbattens are not used, the underlayment is
fastened directly to the existing roof covering in the same
manner.
4.2.2 Existing Asphalt Shingles: When installed over
existing asphalt shingles, the underlayment is applied over
the existing roof covering and fastened through the
shingles to the sheathing with a sufficient number of nails,
having tin caps or 1 -inch -diameter (25.4 mm) plastic caps,
to hold the underlayment in place until the roof covering is
applied.
4.3 Roof Classification:
When installed in accordance with this report,
VersaShield® Fire -Resistant Roof Deck Protection can be
used as an alternative to Exception 2 to Section 1505.2 of
the 2012 and 2009 IBC, the Exception to Sections 1505.2
and 1505.3 of the 2006 IBC, and Section R902.1 of the
IRC; or any roofing assembly having a Class A, B or C roof
classification, without reducing the roof classification.
When installed in accordance with Section 4.1 and Table 1
of this report, roofing assemblies incorporating
VersaShield® Fire -Resistant Roof Deck Protection have
the roof classification specified in Table 1. The roof
coverings must be recognized in a current ICC -ES
evaluation report as shown in Table 2.
