Atlas Pro-Cut Universal 9XR Starter Roll 9 in. x 33-1/2 ft. Asphalt Shingle Starter
The Atlas Pro-Cut Universal 9XR Starter Roll is a 9 in. x 33-1/2 ft. pre-cut asphalt starter shingle roll that protects the roof edge and anchors the first course of shingles at the eaves and rakes. Its dual seal-down strips resist wind uplift, and its universal size works with all asphalt shingle types. One roll is the sell unit.
Key Features:
- Wind-uplift defense: High-performance dual seal-down strips prevent wind uplift at the critical eave and rake areas.
- Edge protection: Protects the roof edge and fills spaces under the cut-outs and edges of the first exposed shingle course.
- Universal 9 in. size: The 9 in. universal size works with all types of asphalt shingles.
- Labor saver: Saves time and labor because there is no need to cut shingle tabs for a starter course.
- Roll format: Comes as a roll for fast, continuous application along eaves and rakes.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A factory starter roll is the correct way to build the first course: the dual seal-down strips bond to the overlying shingle tabs and close the gap under cut-outs, which is where wind gets under a shingle roof. In high-wind regions, run starter along both eaves and rakes rather than eaves only. Keep the roll warm and straight for clean seal-down, and align the adhesive strip toward the eave edge.
Work on roof edges requires fall protection; follow OSHA and local safety practices when installing starter along eaves and rakes.
Start every asphalt shingle job with the Atlas Pro-Cut Universal 9XR Starter Roll for wind-resistant edges.
