The Royal Sovereign Charcoal Algae Resistant 3-Tab Roofing Shingles are manufactured by GAF, a leading roofing manufacturer. As for the year it was manufactured, that would depend on the specific batch or lot of shingles in question. GAF's Royal Sovereign shingles have been in production for several years, but to determine the precise manufacture year, you would typically check the packaging or manufacturing code printed on the shingles bundle.

The Florida Product Approval Number for the Royal Sovereign Charcoal Algae Resistant 3-Tab Roofing Shingles is FL10124-R15. This number indicates that the product has been tested and approved for use in Florida under the Florida Building Code, which includes considerations for high wind and hurricane-prone areas. Make sure to verify this approval with your local building department to ensure compliance with local regulations and installation requirements.

The Royal Sovereign Charcoal Algae Resistant 3-Tab Roofing Shingles from GAF are generally rated for wind speeds up to 60 mph under standard installation methods. However, when installed using GAF's recommended enhanced nailing techniques and adhering to local building codes, they can achieve a wind rating of up to 110 mph. These shingles are not rated for 140 mph wind speeds, especially in high-wind coastal areas like North Carolina, without special installation enhancements. For wind resistance at or above 140 mph, you would typically need to consider laminated architectural shingles like the Timberline HDZ, which are specifically designed for higher wind performance and can handle hurricane-force winds when properly installed.

When installing Royal Sovereign Charcoal Algae Resistant 3-Tab Roofing Shingles, the size of nails you use is important to ensure proper installation and long-term performance. The specifications for roofing nails are typically guided by both the manufacturer’s recommendations and local building codes. Below are the general nail size guidelines for installing 3-tab shingles: 1. Nail Length The length of the nails depends on the thickness of the roof deck and any underlayment materials: Standard Roof Deck (3/4" or 19 mm thick): Use nails that are 1-1/4 inches long. Thicker Roof Decks or Overlays: If you are installing shingles over existing roofing material or on thicker decks, use nails that are at least 1-1/2 inches long or longer, depending on the total thickness. 2. Nail Diameter The nails should have a minimum shank diameter of 12-gauge (0.105 inches). The head diameter should be at least 3/8 inch.

To cover 35 feet of ridge with Royal Sovereign Charcoal Algae Resistant 3-Tab Roofing Shingles, you'll need to calculate how much coverage each bundle provides for ridge caps. Typically, 3-tab shingles can be cut into ridge caps, and one bundle of shingles usually covers approximately 33 linear feet of ridge when used as ridge caps. However, this can vary slightly depending on how the shingles are cut. For 35 feet of ridge, you will need 2 bundles, as one bundle (33 feet) will not completely cover the ridge. You'll need a portion of the second bundle to cover the remaining 2 feet. Final Answer: You need 2 bundles of Royal Sovereign Charcoal 3-Tab Roofing Shingles to cover a 35-foot ridge.

While it provides good durability and weather resistance, it does not meet the impact resistance standard for a Class 4 rating, which is the highest for impact resistance.

If you are in an area prone to severe weather or hail, you might want to consider Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for added protection.
