Here are three products designed to outlast ice and water.  

1 - TRI-BUILT Self-Adhered Shingle Underlayment 

TRI-BUILT Self-Adhered Shingle Underlayment is a modified-asphalt fiberglass reinforced membrane roofing underlayment that is specifically designed to self-adhere on sloped roof surfaces. It acts as a secondary seal under metal, shingles or tile to prevent interior leaks.  

This underlayment self-seals around nails and fasteners for lasting watertightness. When you use TRI-BUILT Self-Adhered Shingle Underlayment, you can expect a fully adhered system that prevents lateral moisture migration. Effective and hard-wearing, this underlayment has a split-back release liner for easier handling during application, making it easy and quick to install. Plus, this underlayment is slip resistant. 

2 - TRI-BUILT Granular Surfaced Self-adhering Underlayment 

This TRI-BUILT Self-Adhering Underlayment similarly provides a waterproof barrier for vulnerable areas on a roof. TRI-BUILT Granular specifically provides a waterproof barrier as a second line of defense against wind-driven rain or ice damming. 

Its cold weather flexibility makes this underlayment easy to install even at colder temperatures and performs well when the weather gets chilly. Additionally, it is designed with a taped selvage edge for three inches of edge lap protection.  

3 - TRI-BUILT High Temperature Metal 

TRI-BUILT High Temperature Metal underlayment is a great choice for not just metal roofs, but tile, shingle and slate as well. It is made from a high melt rubberized bitumen and laminated polypropylene surface, so it can be used in high heat conditions of up to 260°F. It also protects against harsh elements like wind and rain and prevents ice and water dams. 

Conclusion
