Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
StormTamer is a self-adhering SBS modified bitumen membrane, which stays flexible in cold weather and seals around fasteners, making it well suited to eaves, valleys, and other ice-dam-prone zones required by code in northern climates. Install on a clean, dry deck within the membrane's recommended temperature range, and roll laps firmly for a watertight seal. Use it around dormers, chimneys, and vent stacks in place of fussy cut flashing details. Do not leave it exposed long term; cover it with shingles as soon as practical.
Self-adhesive membranes are slippery and the release film creates trip hazards on the deck; wear appropriate footwear and follow roof fall-protection practices during installation.
