VIDEOClick to see full answer. Regarding this, where should ice and water shield be installed? On the eaves of your home up to 24″ inside the exterior wall (this usually means at least 2 rows or 6 feet) In every valley (1 row or 3 feet) Around every pipe before the flashing is installed. Along every wall, chimney, or skylight where flashing will be installed. Subsequently, question is, do you put felt over ice and water shield? If you are not using the elastomeric membrane, I would put roofing paper over the entire roof. Many shingle guarantees require roofing felt because it makes the shingles last longer. Fourth, you need to put a drip edge on the remaining sloped sides of the roof, over the building paper and over the ice and water shield. In this way, can I use ice and water shield on my whole roof? You can (and should, in my opinion) insist on installing ice & water shielding throughout your entire roof, especially if you know your home is prone to ice dam leaks. Just be prepared for push-back from your roofer.Does Ice and Water Shield go under drip edge?The best way is to install the roof drip edge only along the eaves first, then place ice-and-water barrier (in the snowbelt) or felt paper (underlayment) over the drip edge. This lets any water that gets on the roof run down the underlayment and over the drip edge.
