We recently had to reroof our home and I thought I’d share the products that we used. I tested all of the products (except the shingles) by getting samples and keeping them in the home for a time to see how I reacted. I was surprised at how well I did with most of these products, especially because I’ve read that some people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity react to at least some types of Ice and Water Shield, and underlayment can be an issue as well.
Ice and Water Shield:
1. Carlisle WIP 100, Ice & Water Guard (I tested a sample and did OK with it but I opted for the Titanium one below)
2. Titanium PSU30 Synthetic Roofing Underlayment (used this one)
3. Glacier Guard—this is the one I originally ordered and wanted but the supplier was out of it. I did well with the sample.
Underlayment: SOLITEX MENTO 3000 Connect – ProClima
I went with the brand above because a friend with MCS did well with this kind. It is significantly more expensive than the kind our roofer typically uses. Also, our roofer gave me a sample of the FelTex underlayment he typically uses and I didn’t do well with that product.
Tape: Tescon Vana Tape
Shingles: Tamco Heritage Architectural Shingles—black color
