Get Ready for Winter With MBTechnology

By MBTechnology. 

Ice and Moisture Block SBS is in stock! Apply it to a roof now for protection against winter storms.  

After a summer of material shortages, it is nice to hear about something that is actually in stock. Get ready for winter with MBTechnology’s Ice & Moisture Block SBS. The self-adhesive, SBS-modified, rubberized asphalt membrane provides versatile protection against moisture penetration from windblown rain or ice damming. The versatile membrane can be used as a peel and stick base sheet, and since it is self-adhered it can be used under APP and SBS systems. This product can be applied over critical roof areas such as eaves, ridges, valleys, dormers and skylights.

Ice & Moisture Block is available in two grades: 

SA65G: Manufactured with fine granule surfacing; ideal for tile & shingle roofs. 

SA65S: Manufactured with a smooth sand finish which enables the membrane to also be used as a self-adhesive base for APP & SBS systems. 

Ice dam problem 

In areas that experience rain or snowfall followed by freeze-thaw cycles, the problem of ice dam buildup is of great concern in building design. This condition is caused by a meltdown of snow/rain, which then freezes to form an ice dam that prevents proper drainage. Water backs up behind the ice dam, gradually forces its way under shingles and onto the roof deck, enters the building structure, and then causes extensive water damage.
