Grace Ice & Water Shield is designed to be installed as a primary roofing underlayment directly on the roof deck, beneath your main roof covering such as asphalt shingles, slate, tile, cedar, or metal. The product manual specifies that Grace Ice & Water Shield can be applied over old GCP self-adhered underlayment in retrofit applications, but it explicitly excludes granular underlayments from this process. Therefore, applying a self-adhered 90lb granulated product over Grace Ice & Water Shield is not a recommended application according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
Yes, the Grace Ice & Water Shield self-adhered membrane has a slip-resistant embossed surface designed to maximize traction and safety for applicators.
This product is self-adhering, meaning it has a sticky backing that bonds directly to the roof deck. While you don't use nails for the initial adhesion, you will need to nail through it when installing your shingles or other roofing material on top. Please refer to the shingle manufacturer's instructions for the appropriate type and size of roofing nail to use with this underlayment.
The Grace Ice & Water Shield is designed as a roofing underlayment for sloped roofs and is not recommended for use as joist tape on deck framing. While it offers excellent waterproofing properties in roofing applications, it's not intended for this specific use case. For protecting deck framing, consider using joist tape specifically designed for that purpose. These tapes are engineered to prevent rot and decay in wood framing by creating a barrier against moisture.
Can this used as a finish layer top layer
Before installing the underlayment, make sure the roof deck is clean, dry, and free of debris. Any loose nails or staples should be removed, and damaged sheathing should be repaired. For specific instructions, refer to the manufacturer's installation guide. You can find links to the installation guide and other helpful documents on the product page under "Info & Guides".
