Ice and Water Shield And Our Custom Made Aluminum
Drip Edge Forms a Permanent Barrier Against Ice Dams
Custom Made full 6" Aluminum
Drip Edge: First, we custom form this aluminum out of vinyl covered
coil stock on our sheet metal brake. Why is this so important?
It's thicker, more durable and lasts longer
The extra protective vinyl coating is not available on regular drip
edge
It can be made to match the pitch of your roof -- tighter
seal
The wider surface (4 times) will adhere to the WinterGuard much
better
More water will flow into the gutter directly, protecting the
fascia
It will eliminate "ice dams" and wind driven rain problems at the gutter
edge
Certainteed WinterGuard 'Ice and
Water Shield" being rolled out here-- ready to have the backing removed and become
permanently bonded to the plywood and drip edge. Heat from the sun activates the sticky
surface on the back of the product.
The Protective Backer on the
WinterGuard has been removed so that it's sticky underside can bond with
the plywood and aluminum, forming a permanent seal against ice, water, and leaks. Also,
the body of the product remains soft and "gooey" so that nails driven through are immediately
sealed; old-fashioned tarpaper or roofing felt just can't do this.
