Roof Edge Ice Guard

Ice and water protectors sometimes called ice and snow shields in cold climates are made with polymer modified bitumen.

Roof edge ice guard.

Hotedge has the first only roof edge panel system to pass ul standards. In the northern part of the country it s typically only installed at the roof edge. Ice and water protector sometimes also referred to as ice and water shield is a waterproof roof underlayment membrane developed to protect vulnerable areas on a roof from ice and water damage. Install the ice barrier membrane according to the manufacturer s instructions with the drip edge installed on top of the membrane.

Revolutionary design heats more roof surface with less heat trace cable. Then install regular roofing underlayment tar paper over the top of the drip edge and over the ice barrier and continuing all the way up the roof. And the reason for that is because the overhang being out there in midair will freeze in the winter time and then water runs down the roof it hits that overhang and it freezes because that s going to be colder than directly over the heated space of your house. This creates a sealed joint that prevent any water that got past the shingles from sitting on the edge of the wooden sheathing or dripping behind the wooden facia board.

It comes with a strong self adhesive backing that is used for installation. Key advantages of hotedge roof ice melt systems. Patented smart design allows for cost effective inspection maintenance replacement.
