The Advantages of Using a Premium Synthetic Roofing Underlayment over roofing felt and other synthetic replacements.

Benefits of a Premium Synthetic Roofing Underlayment

By Sal Catanese

Using a Premium Synthetic Underlayment, such as RoofTopGuard II Premium, as your roofing underlayment provides several distinct advantages over the use of #30 roofing felt or any other roofing underlayment.

A Premium Synthetic Roofing Underlayment, such as RoofTopGuard II Premium, has functionality for each of its two sides.  The Topside of a Premium Synthetic Underlayment needs to provide a walkable surface in all environments, Dry and Wet alike. While the deckside of a Premium Synthetic Underlayment should provide some kind of “tack” to secure the synthetic underlayment while mechanically fastening.  Roofing Contractors must be confident when working on a synthetic underlayment.  

A Premium Synthetic Roofing Underlayment is suitable for use under all Roofing Materials and has no restrictions on its use.  A Premium Synthetic Roofing Underlayment is considered a high-temp product and can be used as a roofing underlayment with the following claddings;  Metal, Asphalt Shingles, Shake, Clay and Concrete Tile

A Premium Synthetic Roofing Underlayment installs faster and more efficient than #30 roofing felt or other roofing underlayment.   Light, wide width 10 Square rolls result in a time and labor savings by providing quicker installation that is 4 to 5 times quicker.

A Premium Synthetic Roofing Underlayment will not tear or rip in High Wind Velocity Zones (HWVZ) and can be left exposed up to 6 months without UV degradation.

A Premium Synthetic Roofing Underlayment provides an excellent long term solution for the need of a secondary moisture barrier.   Used in conjunction with “peel n stick” membranes in critical areas, synthetic underlayments provide a more efficient and cost effective way to dry in an attic assembly.

A Premium Synthetic Roofing Underlayment provides a Multi -year limited warranty that matches or exceeds the roofing cladding being installed.
