Why Is Underlayment Important for Your Roof?
Key Takeaways
- Underlayment adds critical protection against water damage, mold, and rot, especially if the roof covering is compromised during a storm before repairs can be made.
- Enviroshield offers 3X better adhesion than modified bitumen, works in temperatures as low as 25°F, and carries a Class A ASTM E108 rating with up to 180 days of UV exposure resistance.
- Enviroshield is required for Enviroshake's Gold-Level Warranty and comes with its own Limited Lifetime Warranty.
An outstanding roof that enhances curb appeal and provides long-lasting protection is one of the most important features of your home. When choosing a roof, you look for qualities that will ensure you are kept safe and dry during the most extreme weather conditions. So why do you need a roofing underlayment? Shouldn’t your roof covering be tough enough to do the job?
The truth is, installing an underlayment adds an extra layer of protection to your home. It can prolong the lifespan of your roof and guarantees the safest, most water-resistant protection possible. Without underlayment, water can seep into your roof deck during heavy storms and cause leaking, rotting, mold, and mildew. In the scenario that your roof becomes damaged or any shingles or shakes are blown away during a storm, your underlayment will keep you dry until the roof can be repaired or replaced.
Which Underlayment is Best?
A synthetic roof underlayment is the most durable underlayment on the market. It is stronger and lighter than asphalt-saturated felt or rubberized asphalt underlayments, fast and easy to install, and suitable for extended UV and moisture exposure especially if there is some lead time before your roof covering is installed.
