2.0 USES
VersaShield® Fire -Resistant Roof Deck Protection is used
as an alternative to ASTM D226, Type I or Type II, 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 2021,
2018 or 2015 IBC Section 1511 (2012, 2009 or 2006 IBC
Section 1510.4) or 2021, 2018 and 2015 IRC Section
R908A (2012, 2009 and 2006 IRC Section R907.4).
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 kg/m2), 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 manufacturers published installation
instructions and this report. The manufacturers 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 &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 IBC Section 1507 or
IRC Section R905. 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 undedayment
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 undeflayment, applied in the field of
the roof, is to completely overlap the ice bander (severe
climate underlayment) protection a minimum of 2 inches
(51 ni
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 manufacturer's published installation instructions.

4.2 Reroofing
The existing roof must be inspected in accordance with
2021, 2018 or 2015 IBC Section 1511 (2012, 2009 or 2006
IBC Section 1510) or 2021, 2018 and 2015 IRC Section
R908.4 (2012, 2009 and 2006 IRC Section R907). The new
roof covering is installed over the VersaShield® Fire -
Resistant Roof Deck Protection in accordance with the roof
covering manufacturer's published installation instrmctions.
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
2021, 2018 or 2015 IBC Section 1511.4 (2012, 2009 or 2006
IBC Section 1510.4) or 2021, 2018 and 2015 IRC Section
R908.4 (2012, 2009 and 2006 IRC Section R907.4). The
underlayment covers the entire existing wood roof. Battens
used for the new roof covering system are installed over the
underlayment. The undedayment may be placed under or
over counterbattens, spaced a maximum of 24 inches
(610 mm) on center. The undedayment 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 undedayment 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 undedayment 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 IBC Section 1505.2 (Exception
to 2006 IBC Sections 1505.2 and 1505.3), and IRC Section
R902.1; or any roofing assembly having a Class A, B or C
roof classifcation, 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 specked in Table 1. The roof coverings
must be recognized in a current ICC-ES evaluation report
as shown in Table 2.
