Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Self-adhered ice and water underlayment is standard practice at eaves in snow country and at all valleys, chimneys and skylight curbs regardless of climate. Roll it out on a clean, dry deck and roll the laps firmly to activate the bond, and avoid stretching the membrane. Size your order from the actual roof plan rather than ground measurements so laps and detail work are covered.
Self-adhered membranes are very slippery, especially on slopes or when dusty or wet; wear proper roof-walking footwear and fall protection while installing.
