Grace Construction Products

 
Grace Construction Products' Roof Detail Membrane is designed specifically for waterproofing critical roof detail areas and preventing costly water damage. The membrane conforms tightly to these areas, reducing the risk of water infiltration. The product is applied to the roof deck before applying the finished roof covering, forming a weather-tight barrier against leaks caused by water backup from ice dams or wind-driven rain. www.graceconstruction.com.
