Ice And Snow Roof Membrane

Ice and water protector sometimes also referred to as ice and water shield is a waterproof roof underlayment membrane developed to protect vulnerable areas on a roof from ice and water damage.

Ice and snow roof membrane.

In turn this water can creep up under the shingles causing a roof leak. Ice dam leak protection membrane is required along the eaves of roofs in parts of the united states where ice dams have a history of forming. Peel back 1 2 ft 300 600 mm of release liner align the membrane and continue to peel the release liner from the membrane. Snow guards for single ply membrane roof snow retention while typically used in very low slope roof situations in many areas single ply roof systems require a roof snow guard system to prevent the snow and ice pack from creeping over the eave and dropping onto people and property below.

Ice can build up on a roof slope usually at the unheated area at the eaves forming an ice dam that prevents water from draining off the roof. Ice and water membrane is needed most to address ice damming issues during the winter. Then install regular roofing underlayment tar paper over the top of the drip edge and over the ice barrier and continuing all the way up the roof. Cut the membrane into 10 15 ft 3 5 m lengths and reroll loosely.

Ice and water protectors sometimes called ice and snow shields in cold climates are made with polymer modified bitumen. Install the ice barrier membrane according to the manufacturer s instructions with the drip edge installed on top of the membrane. Apply roof covering material at temperatures of 40 f 5 c or higher.
