Pallet Card for Slate Installation
Asphalt shingles have long included basic installation instructions on the wrappers—the NSA Pallet Card, adapted from the NSA’s Slate Manual, performs the same service for slate installation. It is a weather-proof sheet, stapled to the slate pallets, that uses text and diagrams to illustrate basic procedures, such as shuffling slate, eave and valley lay-out, etc. Too often, developers are eager to use slate but not willing to pay for skilled installers. Unskilled laborers install a product they know nothing about. Since a failed roof comes back to haunt the whole industry, it is in our interest to give novices a chance to install correctly.
