GRANULATED and SELF-ADHERED

ICE AND WATER SHIELD

Ice and water shield is a peal and stick water barrier used for roof underlayment, formulated with a self adhesive backing that forms a watertight seal with the roof surface for exceptional water resistance, driven rain and ice dam protection. This underlayment comes with a granulated walkable surface for on-roof safety of your crew.

Ice and water shield is meant to be “spot installed” primarily in vulnerable areas such as eaves, rake edges, overhangs and valleys.

Q: What is the best economical option for Ice and Water shield underlayment ?

A: TUFFDRY Ice and Water is designed for installation at critical areas of the roof that are most vulnerable to water infiltration, such as eaves, overhangs, valleys, rake edges, and around roof penetrations.

A: Some brands choose to produce an ice and water product by simply dipping paper, yes paper, into a tar mixture, and then spreading sand. This creates in a brittle, and fragile product that you can easily spot by bending or tearing. You can also spot a poor quality ice and water by its' excessive sand loss when you run your hand over the walking surface. All granulated surfaces will loose some sand, but with excessive sand loss, it can quickly expose a slippery and unsafe surface for your roofers. TUFFDRY uses a fiberglass reinforced base to increase tear strength and an advanced granulated surface adhesion process to produce a high quality product that protects against both of these historical challenges.

A: TUFFDRY Ice and Water is one of the most cost-effective solution that doesn't compromise on quality or durability. We use our factory direct model to reduce costs for roofers. Beware of other ice and water that uses paper, not fiberglass, as the base, resulting in a fragile product that cracks easily.
