(24") from the inside face of the exterior wall and over the drip edging. However, it
is recommended to check your local building codes as it may require the Ice & Water
Protector to extend further up the roof.
Ice dams form when melted snow runs down the roof to the eaves and freezes again, which
forces water back up underneath the shingles. Eave protection carries any water which
backs up through the shingle and to the gutter.

To apply StormShield and ArmourGard Ice & Water Protectors:
1. Cut the membrane into 3 m to 4.5 m (10' to 15') lengths.
2. Unroll and align with the lower edge of roof and tack top edge with four equally
spaced temporary fasteners.
3. Lift the lower half and remove the lower release film, exposing the adhesive surface.
Carefully reposition the membrane down onto the deck and press firmly in place.
Avoid wrinkles. Remove temporary fasteners.
4. Fold top half down and remove release film. Carefully reposition the membrane up
onto the deck and press firmly in place.
To apply GoldShield Ice & Water Protector:
1. Cut the membrane into 3 m to 4.5 m (10' to 15') lengths and reroll. Carefully slit
the release paper on a 45° angle. Fold back the release paper exposing the adhesive
backing. This corner will be used to hold the material in place as you begin installation.
2. Unroll the next piece of material ensuring that there is an overlap of 90 mm (3 ½") Do
not remove release film at this time. Unroll 1 m - 2 m (3' - 6') of membrane.
3. Carefully slit the release paper at the top of the roll. DO NOT CUT THROUGH THE
MEMBRANE.
