IWS under felt or over? - DIY Home Improvement Forum My question is, should I hold back the felt from the ridge hips then overlap the felt with the IWS 6" or so That way, there will be 12" of IWS on each side of the hip in direct contact with the ply, but the IWS overlap also seals the edge of the felt
Ice and Water Shield under drip edge? - DIY Home Improvement Forum The drip edge can have the style D roof edge capped by the IWS (method 1) The IWS can be run over the edge and hanging down on the fascia with a style L roof edgeover the roof edge and into the gutter (method 2) Finally the IWS can go under the style D roof edge and then it is sealed with a strip of IWS over the top (method 3)
