From time to time as we are building homes in Logan's Run I thought I would take a minute to blog about the things that Allan Homes does that may seem like small items in them selves but add up to be the reason you should buy an Allan Home. Ice and Water Shield is one of those items Ice and Water Shield is a rubberized membrane that is installed between the undelayment and the roofing shingles. Ice and Water Shield protects against ice dams (ice freezing and thawing thus backing its way up under the roof shingles) as well as wind driven rain. Here is a picture of what Ice and Water Shield looks like installed in a roof valley.

Its a simple little step to take for added protection from the elements yet most builders do not include this as standard. At Allan Homes this little bit of piece of mind is standard. It is just another of the little things that make a difference at Allan Homes. I will highlighting more of these differences in my next entry about the green guard house wrap that is standard on every Allan Home.
