View the Application Drawings of this product.

Application

  • Warm weather conditions are ideal for good adhesion. Application should be made when ambient temperatures are 40° F (5° C) or higher.

  • Deck must be clean, dry and free of voids.

  • For re-roofing applications, all old roofing and other loose materials must be removed. Do not install directly on old roof coverings.

  • Prime concrete/masonry and fiberglass faced gypsum surfaces.

  • Cut Ice and Water Armor into manageable lengths before installation.

  • Peel back 1 to 2 feet of the release film and stick the membrane directly over the roof deck, aligning it with the gutter edge and extending coverage at least 3 feet inside the exterior wall or the highest point of damming.

  • Side laps must be a minimum of 3 inches and end laps a minimum of 6 inches.

  • When covering the entire roof deck with Ice and Water Armor, the roof system must include proper ventilation, including both ridge and soffit venting.

  • All installed Ice and Water Armor must be covered and not left exposed for more than 30 days.
