Applications

Where this product goes

Typical placements we supply for. If your assembly is not listed, send us the detail drawing and we will confirm the right grade.

Eaves and rakes

Ice-dam protection along the roof edge where freeze-thaw cycles back water under shingles.

Valleys

Continuous membrane through the valley where water volume and debris load are highest.

Skylights and chimneys

Flashing integration at penetrations where shingle-only detailing tends to fail.

Penetrations and details

Vents, pipe boots and transitions that need a self-sealing layer around fasteners.

Selection

Why distributors stock it

Self-sealing around fasteners

Rubberized asphalt closes around nail and staple penetrations instead of leaving a hole.

Cold-temperature work

Formulated for application in cooler conditions, extending the usable installation season.

Split-back liner

The release liner splits down the middle, so aligning long eave runs takes less labour.

Installation

Handling notes

  • Apply to a clean, dry, frost-free deck and roll firmly to ensure full adhesion.
  • Align using the split-back release liner, then press from the centre outward to avoid trapped air.
  • Follow the roof system manufacturer's instructions and local code for coverage at eaves and valleys.

Always follow the roof or wall system manufacturer's instructions and the applicable local building code.
