Protecting critical areas of the roof from water intrusion is paramount to the long-term integrity of any building. Ice dams, heavy snow loads, and severe wind-driven rains can force water under primary roofing materials, leading to costly damage to the roof deck, attic, and interior spaces. ALCO Shield+ Granular Ice and Water Protector, offered by A1A Wholesale Supply, is specifically designed to combat these challenges, providing an impenetrable barrier in the roof’s most vulnerable zones.
ALCO Shield+ Granular is a high-performance polymer-modified asphalt membrane, reinforced with glass fiber for exceptional strength and durability. Its unique granular surface provides superior skid resistance, significantly enhancing safety for workers during installation by preventing slips and tracking. This also allows it to seal around shingle fasteners effectively for the life of the shingles.
Key Features & Benefits for Roofing Contractors:
- Self-Adhering, Initially Repositionable: The advanced high-tack back adhesive ensures a strong bond to the roof substrate, providing reliable all-season installation. Crucially, it’s initially repositionable, allowing for easy adjustments during application to achieve perfect alignment, reducing waste and installation time.
- Superior Waterproofing: ALCO Shield+ Granular prevents water intrusion and seepage from wind-driven rain and ice dams, acting as a formidable secondary defense layer. It is specifically designed for use in critical areas such as eaves, valleys, ridges, dormers, and around skylights.
- Self-Sealing Technology: One of its most vital advantages is its self-sealing capability. It effectively seals around nails, staples, and screws, ensuring that fastener penetrations do not become pathways for water to enter the roof structure, providing continuous protection for the life of the roof.
- Consistent Quality: Manufactured with an exceptional process and stringent quality control, ALCO Shield+ Granular ensures a consistent, high-quality product every time, allowing contractors to rely on its performance.
