R-Mer Seal is a self-adhering high-temperature metal roofing underlayment. It comprises a durable, non-slip, cross-laminated polymer film laminated to a high-temperature rubberized asphalt adhesive. A split-release film protects the adhesive on the back side of the membrane and prevents the roll from sticking to itself during storage and handling. R-Mer Seal is engineered as a continuous secondary waterproofing underlayment under Garland’s metal roof systems. R-Mer Seal can also be used in valleys, ridges, penetrations, and eaves for protection against ice dams and wind-driven rain. It can also serve as an underlayment for coping caps and edge metal applications.

Method | Description |
---|---|
Self-Adhered | R-Mer Seal adheres to metal, plywood, OSB, rigid vinyl, polyisocyanurate insulation and masonry substrates. R-Mer Seal is intended for use on roof decks with slopes of 2:12 and higher. All surfaces must be in sound condition and free of dirt, debris, or dust. Prime all substrates to be waterproofed with SA Primer™ at a rate of 0.5 gal./100 sq. ft. (0.21 l/m2). Primer is not required when adhering to polyisocyanurate insulation. Apply the membrane in lengths up to 18 feet. Overlap all seams a minimum 3” on the side laps and 6” on the head laps. Roll the seams and overlaps of the membrane with a hand roller to ensure complete adhesion with no voids, wrinkles, or fishmouths. The membrane should not be folded over the roof edge unless covered by a gutter, mechanically fastened every 6” or protected with other flashing materials |

Application Guidelines | R-Mer Seal Application Guide |
R-Mer Seal is formulated with high-temperature rubberized asphalt for reliable protection. R-Mer Seal exhibits superior adhesion to the roof deck and strong lap strength, ensuring long-term watertight protection. Quality-controlled manufacturing ensures uniform film thickness throughout each roll.
The rubberized adhesive compound yields a flexible membrane with excellent elongation capabilities and tensile strength to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the substrate. The rubberized adhesive layer also exhibits self-healing capabilities and accommodates fasteners, staples, nails, and screws while maintaining a watertight seal.
The peel-and-stick application and overlap guidelines make installation fast and easy. R-Mer Seal’s cross-laminated polymer film provides an excellent slip-resistant surface for installers.
