Custom Formed Drip Edge System
With Ice and Water Shield
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.
