Atlas technical bulletin: SBS Modified Asphalt Shingle Storage & Handling.
What this means for your roof
Atlas warns that SBS-modified shingles need careful storage and handling. The bulletin advises against double-stacked pallets and repeated traffic over the same roof area. Cooler installation periods and protection around walk boards help reduce surface marking. Handling damage should not be confused with an inherent material defect.
A useful question for your contractor
How will bundles and finished roof areas be protected from stacking and foot-traffic damage?
Ask for the answer to be tied to the actual roof condition and the exact product being installed. Keep the agreed repair or installation detail with your estimate and project photos.
