For roofing contractors seeking an economical yet effective solution for ice and water protection, A1A Wholesale Supply proudly offers Ice & Water (B-Grade) in full truckload quantities. This unique offering allows you to secure critical roof areas against the damaging effects of ice dams and wind-driven rain at a fraction of the cost of first-quality materials.

Our B-Grade / Seconds / Offspec Ice & Water shield is manufactured by leading industry brands, ensuring that the core material properties—such as adhesive strength and waterproofing capabilities—are based on robust, high-quality designs. The “B-Grade” classification refers to minor aesthetic imperfections, which may include:

• Misprints: Slight errors or irregularities in printed logos or product information.
• Misaligned Cuts: Rolls may have slightly uneven edges or be off-square.
• Other Cosmetic Flaws: Minor surface blemishes that do not impact performance.

Crucially, while these cosmetic issues prevent them from being sold as first-quality goods, they do not compromise the material’s fundamental ability to prevent water intrusion. This makes B-Grade Ice & Water an intelligent choice for contractors who prioritize function and value over pristine appearance or a manufacturer’s warranty. The aggressive adhesive properties are retained, allowing the material to reliably seal around fasteners, providing robust secondary water protection.

Features:

• Substantial Cost Savings: Acquire essential Ice & Water shield at significantly less than half the price of first-quality material, directly impacting your project profitability.
• Reliable Water and Ice Damming Barrier: Despite cosmetic imperfections, the material’s core design provides effective protection against water seepage from ice dams and wind-driven rain, based on the original product’s specifications.
• Usable Material for Essential Protection: Perfectly functional for its intended purpose of providing secondary water protection in vulnerable roof areas.
• Aggressive Adhesive Properties: Designed to bond firmly to the roof deck and self-seal around nails, staples, and screws, preventing leaks at fastener penetrations.

Applications:

• Installation in Eaves, Valleys, and other Vulnerable Roof Areas: Ideal for the perimeter, roof penetrations, dormers, and other critical zones prone to water intrusion.
• Projects Where a Material Warranty is Not a Primary Concern: Perfect for situations where project specifications or budget constraints allow for the use of materials without a manufacturer’s warranty.
• Reducing Material Costs on Large-Scale Roofing Jobs: Achieve significant savings on high-volume projects without sacrificing essential waterproofing.
• Providing Secondary Water Protection: A valuable layer of defense beneath asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and other primary roofing materials.

Important Note: This product is sold without a manufacturer’s warranty due to its B-Grade classification. It is essential for contractors to inspect the material upon receipt and understand its intended use in applications where cosmetic flaws and the absence of a warranty are acceptable.
