Ice and Water Shield

Custom Aluminum Drip Edge
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.
