Protect your roof from ice and water damage

Eaveguard^® Shingle Underlayment

Bakor Eaveguard^® guards the interior of your home against leaks caused by ice and water buildup and wind-driven rain.

Shingle Warranties Do Not Cover The Following Problem Areas:

1. Ice buildup can cause water to get under shingles and into your attic. Icicles indicate a possible problem.
2. Areas with rains or ice storms. Shingles are only designed to shed water – they do not waterproof.
3. Low slope roofs often leak due to standing water and snow buildup.

The Solution

Protect your investment with Bakor Eaveguard^® peel-and-stick waterproofing. Eaveguard^® is a rubberized asphalt peel-and-stick membrane that waterproofs and self-seals around nails. It is the secondary layer for the vulnerable areas of your house. When installed according to directions, Eaveguard^® is backed by our manufacturer's warranty for the life of your shingles.

Use Bakor Eaveguard^® in the vulnerable areas of a roof (consult local building code regulations and shingle manufacturers instructions for more information). Bakor recommends two rows of Eaveguard^® around the eave of all heated areas of the building as well as in valleys and around roof vents, chimneys and dormers.

Installing Bakor Eaveguard^®

1. Align membrane at eave.  Where a metal edge strip is being used, install underlayment over the metal at the eave and under at the rake.
2. Fold membrane to expose release film.  Remove the split release film from lower portion.  Set membrane in place.
3. Remove the release file from top portion and set in place.
4. Extend membrane a minimum of 300 mm (12") beyond inside wall (600 mm (24") in more severe areas of freeze/thaw) or 900 mm (36") from eave.  Overlap 100 mm (4") on side lap and 150 mm (6") on end laps.
