Easier Than Ever: How to Choose the Right Underlayment for Your Roof
2024-12-09
When selecting roofing materials, many people focus on shingles or metal panels but often overlook a critical component
of the roofing system—the underlayment. This “invisible guardian” plays a pivotal role in determining the durability and
protective performance of your roof. So, how do you pick the right underlayment among so many options on the market?
What Is a Roofing Underlayment?
An underlayment is a protective layer installed beneath roofing shingles or metal panels. It prevents water infiltration while
enhancing the roof’s overall wind resistance, slip resistance, and tear strength. Traditional felt may be familiar to most, but
high-performance synthetic underlayments, like our Mountain Bigfoot Barrier, are now leading the market.
Why Choose Synthetic Underlayments?
Synthetic underlayments offer several significant advantages:
Lightweight Design: Easier to transport and install, saving time and effort.
Superior Tear Resistance: Stands strong even in extreme weather conditions.
Eco-Friendly and Safe: Slip-resistant surfaces improve safety, and they’re more environmentally friendly.
