Underlayment Installation Services
At Architectural Copper & Sheet Metal Ltd., we understand that a strong roofing system starts with proper protection. That’s why we offer expert underlayment installation services to ensure your copper or sheet metal roof is fully protected from water infiltration, weather damage, and leaks. Underlayment serves as a critical layer of defense between your roof’s surface and the structure beneath, helping to prevent costly damage and extending the life of your roofing system.
Waterproof Membrane Installation
One of the most important aspects of underlayment installation is the application of a high-quality waterproof membrane. This membrane acts as a barrier, protecting your roof deck from moisture, leaks, and mold growth. We use only the best waterproof membranes designed to provide maximum durability and protection. Whether you’re installing a copper, steel, or aluminum roof, we ensure that your investment is fully protected with a premium underlayment system.
The waterproof membrane we install is not only resistant to water but also offers excellent breathability, allowing moisture that does enter the roof system to escape, preventing rot or structural damage. This makes it ideal for all types of climates, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or snow accumulation.
Ice and Water Shield
For properties in regions prone to freezing temperatures and ice buildup, we recommend the use of ice and water shield as part of your underlayment system. This special layer is applied in vulnerable areas like roof valleys, eaves, and around penetrations such as chimneys and skylights, where ice dams and water backups can cause significant damage.
Ice and water shield provides an extra layer of waterproof protection, ensuring that any ice buildup or melting snow doesn’t lead to leaks or damage beneath your roof. This is especially important in regions with harsh winters, where ice dams can form and compromise the integrity of your roofing system.
Why Is Underlayment Important?
Many people overlook the importance of underlayment when installing a new roof, but this layer plays a vital role in the overall health and longevity of your roofing system. Here are just a few reasons why underlayment installation is crucial:
- Waterproofing: Underlayment acts as a moisture barrier, preventing water from penetrating your roof deck.
- Weather Protection: It provides additional protection against wind-driven rain, ice dams, and snow, reducing the risk of leaks and damage.
- Longevity: Proper underlayment can extend the life of your roofing system by preventing water damage, rot, and mold growth.
- Fire Resistance: Some underlayments are designed to provide an additional layer of fire resistance, which can be crucial for homes in high-risk areas.
