UnderRoof™ HT High-Temperature Leak Barrier


Now, Protect Your Metal, Shingle, Or Tile Roof (See Details)
With A Waterproof Leak Barrier

Whether your installer uses a leak barrier to waterproof just the vulnerable areas of your roof or you upgrade your protection for full deck waterproofing coverage (See Details) , choosing the wrong product for an application can have disastrous effects.

Different roof coverings have different needs:

  • Metal Roofs: Leak barriers for metal roofs require a high-temperature (minimum 250°F) compound—or they may drip or leach residue onto your siding or patio.
     
  • Tile Roofs: Leak barriers for tile roofs should undergo special "stack testing" to be sure loaded tiles don’t slide off the roof during application. Also, if tiles are to be adhered in foam, the leak barrier should be tested to assure compatibility and adhesion.
     
  • Asphalt Shingles: While asphalt shingles are a more forgiving roof covering than tile or metal, isn’t it important to know that the installers working on your home are safer, because the leak barrier they are using has a premium slip-resistant surface?
