"Ice and Water Shield" is not the same as Ice Guard. Ice Guard has an
aluminum side and Ice and Water Shied does not---at least the stuff
I've seen at my local Home Despot doesn't. I personally like having the
foil side of Ice Guard because it makes it easy to press into place in
tight door cavities. The smooth aluminum finish is just slippery enough
to make it easier to slide your hand around in there and get it to
stick properly. Its also easier to work when using a small roller. My
$.02.
