It’s sold in rolls. I’ve seen it 4″, 6″, and 12″ wide. It’s like a 1/8″ thick sticky black tar on aluminum foil.

They sell it at roofing material stores and some lumber stores.
It is called ice shield which is applied along the lower edge of your roof before laying shingles. Depending on the severity of your winter climate it can be anywhere from 6 to 24 inches wide. It prevents water from ice dams on your roof from getting under the shingles and leaking into your home.
