Overview
Your best defense against winter
The WinterGuard™ Series of waterproofing shingle underlayments
are applied under roof shingles during new construction or
re-roofing to protect your home’s interior from winter leaks
caused by ice dams and wind-driven rain.
How
WinterGuard works
WinterGuard is a composite material of asphalt polymers, formed
into a rolled sheet. The asphalt provides the waterproofing. The
polymers make the asphalt elastic and sticky, all the way through
the sheet. The result is an amazing ability to both stretch and
cling. This means that WinterGuard doesn’t rip when stressed and
seals around nails driven through it. It sticks to a clean roof
deck like glue. And it won’t dry out during the warranted
lifetime of an asphalt shingle system. The result is a waterproof
barrier beneath your shingle system, which pooled water and
wind-driven rain cannot penetrate.
Take the offensive with CertainTeed
WinterGuard is just part of the CertainTeed strategy in winning
the battle against ice dams. We offer an integrated system of
quality products– including roofing shingles, ridge vents,
vented soffits and fiber glass insulation – that defend your
home from the damaging effects of nature. When used together,
these products create a roof that’s well insulated, properly
ventilated and resistant to problems caused by sun, wind, rain,
snow and ice.
