On the structural settling roof decks and side walls can move separately. This settling can tear leak barriers. Installing leak barriers sealed to only the side wall will eliminate this problem from happening. When sealing dormers and side walls on a roof, install Shingle-Mate or Deck Armor roof underlayment protection, cutting it flush to the wall seam. Prepare a full 36” width of Weather Watch or Storm Guard leak barrier and align the roof leak barrier so that there is at least 5” running up the adjoining wall.
Remove split back release film and firmly press to seal the Weather Watch or Storm Guard leak barrier to seal the membrane to the Shingle-Mate or the Deck Armor roof protection underlayment and also to seal to the adjoining wall materials.
For masonry materials, leak barriers may not seal or bond to certain cements and masonry products. If you are installing to a masonry material, install the Shingle- Mate or the Deck Armor roof underlayment 3”-4” short of the wall seam making sure to leave the wood decking exposed. Then, seal the leak barrier to the deck and run up the masonry without sealing.
Always remember that the Weather Watch or Storm Guard leak barriers are required around the dormers of roofs and the side wall of a house for the Weather Stopper or Golden Pledge installations.
