Application

For roof leak protection or sloping timber roofs. Suitable substrates include plywood, wood composition, wood plank, metal, concrete, or gypsum sheathing.

Description

Roofing membrane composed of two waterproofing materials - an aggressive rubber bitumen adhesive backed by a layer of cross laminated HDPE. The rubber bitumen surface is backed with a release paper that protects its adhesive quality. The underlay must be fully supported by the substrate.


Features and benefits:

  • Easy to handle and apply- bonds firmly to the roof deck without heat or special adhesives. Watertight laps are easily formed.
  • Aesthetically pleasing- unlike other forms of ice dam protection, Grace Ice & Water Shield is concealed by the finished roofing, preserving the architectural appearance of the roof.
  • Seals around nails- the rubber bitumen layer seals around roofing nails, resisting leakage caused by water back-up.
  • Dual barrier protection- rubber bitumen and polyethylene are combined to form two waterproofing barriers providing maximum protection.
  • Membrane will not crack, dry out or rot- resists attacks from fungus and bacteria; maintaining its integrity for long lasting protection.
  • Protects under all standard sloped roof coverings- protects under slate, tile, or metal.
  • Slip resistant surface- has a slip resistant embossed surface to maximise traction and safety for applicators.
  • Proven track record.
