StormGuard® Film-Surfaced Leak Barrier

Protect Your Home From Wind-Driven Rain And Damaging Ice Dams With A Waterproof Leak Barrier.

A Quality Leak Barrier Will:

Create a 100% watertight seal that keeps water out at the most vulnerable areas of your shingle or metal roof (at the eaves and rakes, in valleys, around chimneys, etc.).

StormGuard®, a quality leak barrier, will:

  • Protect your home by preventing costly repairs due to wall or ceiling staining
  • Help prevent leaks due to water damming in your gutters, wind-driven rain, and, in the North, damaging ice dams

Good Housekeeping

StormGuard® Film-Surfaced Leak Barrier is a key ­part of the GAF Lifetime Roofing System, and has even earned the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal. (See Details)

Don’t Put Your Home At Risk

  • The Codes Are Clear...

    North Area Protection against ice dams is required (See Details) at eaves wherever the January average temperature is 25°F or lower or where there is a possibility of ice forming in the eaves - i.e., the area labeled "North". (See Details)

  • But Be Prepared...

    Ice dams can still occur in areas where the average temperature is above 25°F (not to mention wind-driven rain)

  • Avoid The Risks...

    If you are in an area that requires leak barrier protection – and if there is a leak – you could be putting your insurance coverage at risk by not installing it!

Homeowner’s Best Choice

  • Looks Better...

    Fiberglass reinforcement helps resist wrinkling and buckling – lays flatter under shingles

  • Meets Building Codes...

    In the North, where a leak barrier MUST be used (See Details)

  • Peace Of Mind...

    Up to a Lifetime ltd. warranty when used on Lifetime Shingle roofs, (See Details) up to a 25-year ltd. warranty when used on non-Lifetime Shingle roofs, and up to a 10-year ltd. warranty (See Details) when used with other approved roof coverings. (See Details)

Professional’s Best Choice

  • Helps Eliminate Waste...

    Special adhesive allows for one-time repositioning, but aggressively adheres over time

  • Dependable...

    Self-seals around nails or metal roofing fasteners

  • Saves Labor...

    Split-back release film peels off in layers for faster installation and greater homeowner value

  • Convenient...

    2.0 square roll sizes.

  • Great For Emergencies...

    Can be left exposed for up to 60 days if necessary

  • Versatile...

    The high temperature compound is suitable for most shingle roof systems and metal roof applications. For application under copper and zinc, contact technical services at 1-800-766-3411 for information.
