, 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?
UnderRoof™ HT leak barrier is a key part of the Lifetime Roofing System,
and has even earned the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal.
The GAF Lifetime Roofing System has earned the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal,
