Easy installation

Step 2

After preparing the surface, simply peel off the release liner, unroll Peel & Seal® and press into place. Roll the entire surface, paying special attention to the seams, to ensure the best adhesion.

Step 3

Peel & Seal® is also an excellent choice for repairing or patching smooth asphalt or metal roofs. Its flexibility provides a secure seal at edges, corners, over gaps, and minor surface irregularities. You can even use Peel & Seal® to repair gutters!

Our MFM Shingle Starter features a self-adhesive backing and top glue line, enhancing the adherence of Asphalt Shingles for improved performance and water shedding efficiency.
  • The Asphalt Shingle Starter roll, or Shingle starter roll, is typically applied around the edges, eaves, rakes of the roof area. It is commonly used in conjunction with Asphalt Shingle roofs. Additionally, it can be used on Thatch roofs and wood shingles when installed using the interlay method.

The shingle starter plays a crucial role in preventing uplift of your Asphalt Shingle roof during strong winds and provides additional protection to the eaves.
  • While both serve the same purpose, the key distinction lies in the ease of installation and cost.
