LeakBarrier Self–adhering Underlayments

Advantages of a Secondary Water Barrier: Lessons Learned in Florida

In this special 4-page Roofer's Report, Tarco recounts the experiences of six roofing professionals in Florida with self-adhering underlayment and their recommendations for the rest of the country with regard to the installation of secondary water barriers.
