For what purpose? Around here it's installed on roofs to protect
against
ice damming.
And per code it has to be installed up the roof plane from the
lower edge
until
it's 2 feet past the inside heated space below. Maybe that's
where your
2 feet is
coming from?

Here they want the membrane to cover the entire roof.
This is what I needed on my addition.

It is so, when the hurricane blows the shingles off, you still have
a
roof.

Makes a lot more sense to have metal decking instead of stupid
shingles.

About $20 thousand more.

BULL****.


I priced a hidden-fastner metal roof install and it was twice the cost
of the GAF Timberline shingles. Guess which I chose.


Did the same about 20 years ago. Made no sense to spend that much more.

I installes Certainteed Northgate for the same reason. I could
rationalize spending more for premium shingles, but not as much more
as a GOOD metal roof would have coar and I wasn't about to waste money
on a crappy metal roof that would look like crap within 10 years


None of ours do.

or one that looked terrible the day it was installed (barn roof)


No one has those and we don't have barns either.
