Proper underlayment is an essential component for any steep-slope roofing system, providing a secondary line of defense against water infiltration. Henry Eaveguard® Self-Adhered Shingle Underlayment, supplied by A1A Wholesale Supply, is specifically engineered to protect against the most common causes of roof leaks: wind-driven rain and ice damming.
This self-adhering membrane is applied directly to the roof deck, creating a continuous, watertight seal. Its key feature is its ability to self-seal around nails and fasteners, preventing water from migrating through the roof deck. The durable, modified-asphalt composition, reinforced with fiberglass, provides exceptional tear resistance and an extended exposure time, ensuring reliable performance in all seasons. The sand-surfaced top layer offers superior traction, enhancing safety for crews on the roof.
Henry Eaveguard® meets or exceeds the rigorous performance criteria of ASTM D1970 and is compliant with key building codes, including ICC-ESR-1930 and Florida Building Code Approved Product #FL16724. By providing dependable protection and simplifying installation with its split-back release liner and simple roll sizes, Henry Eaveguard® helps contractors ensure the longevity and reliability of their work, reducing callbacks and increasing customer satisfaction.
