ice dam membrane | Ask The Experts Forum

richard sprecker 12/17/2009	One of my metal roofing bids includes using ice dam membrane on the entire roof deck. Is there any draw back to this? It sounds like a good idea to me.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/14204/find/
Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 12/19/2009	It will eliminate any breathability through your roof deck. Therefore, I encourage making sure you have good attic ventilation beneath it.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/14205/find/
richard sprecker 12/19/2009	I have attic ventilation but not sure if it's a 1 to 300 ratio. Since I live in an area that has no snow or ice dam issues, is the membrane that much better than a synthetic underlayment?
