Moisture barrier will add extra protection against wind-driven rain, melting snow and ice, and will help ensure a 100% watertight seal. Branford Building Supplies offers everything needed to go along with your roofing project:

ZIP System® Sheathing and Tape – A one-of-a-kind structural roof and wall system with a built-in energy-efficient barrier that keeps moisture out and reduces air leakage, while still allowing panels to properly dry.

Grace Ice & Water Shield® – A proprietary and time-tested rubberized asphalt formulation that enables a watertight bond with the roof deck. Maintains a watertight seal around fasteners used to attach roof coverings. Also offers superior watertight laps, which are critically important in keeping the roof dry and safe.

Elephant Skin – A skid resistant walking surface that provides robust dry and wet traction. This high-quality, economical synthetic underlayment comes with a limited 25-year warranty.

Felt
Protects the roof deck while shingles are removed and the inner structure is exposed. Gives workers better traction, helping to keep them from slipping, providing a safer working environment. Felt has been shown to increase the fire rating of some roofing systems.

Roof Sheathing & Roofing Accessories
Roof sheathing helps to keep the roof trusses or rafters properly spaced, and is the strength that holds the entire roof together. It has to be structurally sound and properly spaced to allow for expansion and contraction due to seasonal weather fluctuations.

Gutters & Flashing
Gutters help control the flow of rainwater as it comes off the roof. Flashing is a construction detail used to seal and protect joints in a building from water penetration.

Roof Vents
Helps to reduce the moisture on the underside of the roof. If your attic doesn’t get enough circulation, condensation can occur, which may lead to mold or rot.
