How to Waterproof Critical Points of a Tile Roof

By Cass Jacoby. 

This self-adhering hip and ridge tape is designed to prevent costly water damage on clay and concrete roof tiles. 

MFM Building Products’ RidgeSeal™ was created to eliminate costly mortar applications to hip and ridge areas where rain can enter. By protecting this critical area of the roof, RidgeSeal™ creates a superior waterproofing barrier for use when installing clay, concrete and synthetic hip and ridge tiles.  

RidgeSeal utilizes a specialized rubberized asphalt adhesive system that is self-sealing, which creates an excellent weather and insect barrier. The membrane’s adhesive system will not crack or dry out allowing it to maintain its flexibility around irregular tile surfaces. Plus, the peel and stick application means quicker installations saving time, labor and material costs.  

For a more aggressive adhesive system, look for RidgeSeal™ PowerBond®, which comes with MFM Building Products patented PowerBond® adhesive system, a unique two-part adhesive that allows the membrane to aggressively adhere in temperatures as low as 25°F! 

Not to mention that RidgeSeal comes with a five-year limited warranty. And RidgeSeal™ PowerBond® comes with a 10-year limited warranty. Start delivering advanced tile roof protection by using RidgeSeal on your next project!
