Drip Edge Extension
With or Without Copper Algae/Moss Prevention Strip
DCI Products has developed a shingle extension for multiple uses (2.75” wide X 36.50” long X 1/8” thick)
DCI Drip Edge Shingle extension under first course to extend water runoff into the gutter and away from running down the fascia board or behind the gutter, to attach algae prevention 1” copper strips for algae and moss prevention at various shingle courses, or to extend the overhang of the first SmartVent shingle by the required 3/4″ “Shadow Line” required by the manufacturer. Easy, quick to install.
When an important part of SmartVent installation is sometimes overlooked.
Here are the last steps of the standard SmartVent installation.
Apply a roll of ice shield on top of the SmartVent even at the lower lift edge and directly to the plywood above the vent. If tarpaper was already installed, gently tuck the ice shield under the higher course of tarpaper so it laps over the ice shield by at least three inches or more. Ensure ice shield adheres to SmartVent and wood decking, not installed over tarpaper..Install a starter course of shingle slightly overhanging the SmartVent bottom edge about ½”. Align shingles per manufacturers’ directions starting at ½” overhang.
When you have found you need to revisit your SmartVent installation and the project requires a drip edge extension. There is a solution.
DCI Products has developed a quick and easy cure for the situation. That is the Drip Edge Extension.
This extension can used With or Without the Algae/Moss Prevention Copper Tape(purchased seperately).
