Grace Construction Products GRACE ICE & WATER SHIELD Self-adhered roofing underlayment Product Description Grace Ice & Water Shield® self-adhered roofing underlayment is a premier membrane composed of two waterproofing materials—an aggressive rubberized asphalt adhesive backed by a layer of high density cross laminated polyethylene. The rubberized asphalt surface is backed with a foldless release paper that protects its adhesive quality.
Ice Dams Grace Ice & Water Shield® roofing underlayment should be used in conjunction with roof designs that minimize ice dam formation. In cold climates, it is particularly important to provide proper insulation and ventilation to reduce the size of ice dams and to avoid interior condensation. Cathedral ceilings must include ventilation between rafters to allow for air flow to a ridge vent.
in critical areas, such as along the eaves or in valleys and in climates where severe ice dams are anticipated. Apply the membrane to the entire roof deck for wind-driven rain protection. Apply a new layer of Grace Ice & Water Shield® underlayment directly over the old Grace underlayment in retrofit applications following the standard membrane application procedure. Precautions & Limitations • Slippery when wet or covered by frost.

Grace technical support—Grace Ice & Water Shield® HT roofing underlayment is backed by a team of local technical support personnel that help ensure every application goes smoothly. Guidelines for Use Grace Ice & Water Shield® HT underlayment is a waterproofing underlayment designed for use on sloped roof decks and is suitable under most traditional roof coverings, including metal and shingles for both commercial and residential applications.

Apply a new layer of Grace Ice & Water Shield® HT membrane directly over the old Grace underlayment in retrofit applications following the standard membrane application procedure. Precautions & Limitations • Slippery when wet or covered by frost.
Ice Dams Water from melting snow over the heated portion of the house runs down the roof. It freezes at the cold eave and an ice dam begins to form preventing drainage. As the ice dam grows, water is trapped behind it and backs up under the shingles. Eventually it reaches the roof deck and leaks through, damaging the interior of the structure.

needed. In addition, Grace Ultra™ underlayment is the appropriate product for use under certain types of metal roofs (those employing copper, zinc, or Cor-Ten® panels). These metal roofs tend to readily conduct heat to the underlayment making them more likely to expose the membrane to high temperatures. It is up to the contractor and specifier to decide what level of performance is required based on the guidelines provided. Wind-Driven Rain Sloped roofs are not waterproof.
roll. Stop frequently to press the membrane in place with heavy hand pressure. When finished with the roll go back to the beginning, reroll and pull the remaining release paper from the material, finishing the installation. Consistent with good roofing practice, install the membrane such that all laps shed water. Always work from the low point to the high point of the roof. Apply the membrane in valleys before the membrane is applied to the eaves.

Since Grace Select™ membrane is a vapor barrier, the roof construction must allow for proper ventilation in full roof coverage applications. Ice Dams For ice dam protection, Grace Select™ underlayment should be adhered at the edge of the roof deck along the eaves. The product should be applied to a point on the roof deck above the highest expected ice dam.

• Do not fold over the roof edge unless the edge is protected by a drip edge, gutter or other flashing material. • Check with the manufacturer of the metal roofing system for any special requirements when used under metal roofing. Do not install directly under roof coverings especially sensitive to corrosion, such as zinc, without providing proper ventilation. • Do not install under copper, Cor-Ten®, or zinc metal roofing in high altitudes or in the desert southwest.
Grace Construction Products GRACE SYN 15™ Synthetic Replacement for #15 Felt Grace SYN 15™ synthetic underlayment exceeds the requirements of ASTM D226 and offers the benefits of a synthetic to traditional #15 felt users. Its higher coverage per roll means it goes down quickly. Because it is 10x stronger than #15 felt, costly blow offs are prevented.

• Do not install under copper, Cor-Ten®, or zinc metal roofing in high altitudes or in the desert southwest. These roofs can reach extremely high temperatures due to the low reflectivity, high absorption, and high conductivity of the metals. • Provide proper roof insulation and ventilation to help reduce ice dams and to minimize condensation. • Repair holes, fishmouths, tears and damage to product. Grace SYN 15™ underlayment does not self-seal open fastener penetrations.
