WHAT IS ICE & WATER SHIELD?

Ice & water shield underlayment is one the most reliable barriers from leaks on your roof valleys.  The introduction of roofing Ice & Water shield underlayment started over 40 years ago.  Today, the manufacturers are taking the basic elements of the compound. Manufacturers are improving the structure and the composition of the material too. Ice & water shield underlayment works best when the material is installed correctly and in the needed areas only.

WHERE TO INSTALL ICE & WATER SHIELD, DEPENDING ON THE REGION

Roofing contractors install ice & water shield underlayment using different styles depending on location. For example, Home Evolution is a roofing company located in Albany New York.  Albany gets a lot of snowstorms in the winter. It has customers with ice and snow-related problems. Home evolution applies roofing ice & water shield around the roof perimeters and valleys when they install roofing systems. They also use it around the ventilation pipes, and around the chimney. Roofing companies in Charlotte North Carolina do not face major ice and snow-related roof problems. But we deal with a lot of heat and high winds problems.

INSTALLING ICE & WATER SHIELD

It is important to make sure that roofing ice & water shield underlayment is installed properly. It’s the only way you will obtain the full functionality of the roofing ice & water shield underlayment. First of all, you need to purchase the Ice & water from a roofing supplier that stores the product in a cool area. If the product is not stored in proper temperatures, the adhesive can lose its adhesiveness. The material can also crack when not stored correctly which allow your roof to leak. After getting the material on the roof, peel the release liner from the membrane. Hold the membrane in place with substantial hand weight to secure the position. You will need assistance as it’s best to do this with two people. Have them pull the roofing ice & water shield along the needed area. Lastly, when the material is in place, apply hand pressure throughout the membrane to remove all air bubbles.
