Ice and water shield is a self-adhesive waterproofing membrane used on roofs to protect against water infiltration caused by ice dams or wind-driven rain. It is typically installed along the eaves, valleys, and other vulnerable areas of the roof to provide an additional layer of protection against leaks.
