Here are the steps taken in the installation of the Freezeblock guttering system.
| 1. This is the Freezeblock gutter prior to installation, and ready to be affixed to the building. |  |
| 2. Note the ice and water shield (underlayment) extending several inches beyond the shingles and roof edge, left by the roofing installer. |  |
| 3. Underlayment is secured (taped) up out of the way to allow for installation of the Freezeblock gutter. The gutter is set in place at the proper pitch, etc., and is secured with a few screws through the back wall above the sealing channel. |  |
| 4. The ice and water shield is now trimmed, using the bottom edge of the Freezeblock inner sealing channel as guide, and inserted into that channel. (This covers the temporary holding screws used to hold the gutter after aligning for pitch in the previous photo). The gutter is now permanently mounted by installing the spike and ferrule hangars (recommended). Next, the sealing channel is tapped or crimped closed using a tool such as a blunt chisel to firmly grip the underlayment. |  |
| 5. To help ensure a watertight seal, the channel is caulked, completing the installation. |  |
| 6. Installation of the Freezeblock System is now completed ensuring a watertight integrity of the roof and soffit area. |  |
