Help Protect Your Home From Damaging 
Premium-Quality Roof Deck Protection
“Premium-quality roof deck protection should protect your home by providing a critical extra layer of protection between your shingles and your roof deck. It helps prevent wind-driven rain (or water from other sources) from infiltrating under your shingles and causing damage to your roof structure, or to the inside of your home. In addition, premium-quality roof deck protection will:
- Help reduce damaging moisture that can become trapped on your roof deck
- Provide longer-lasting leak protection than conventional “felts” 
(which can rot or become brittle before your shingles reach their useful life)
- Help your shingles lie flat and uniform, for a better-looking finished roof”
Homeowner’s Best Choice
- Special Moisture-Control Design… 
Helps remove nearly twice as much damaging moisture from your roof deck as the leading synthetic non-breathable underlayment.
- Durable Construction… 
Non-asphaltic, polypropylene construction will not rot or become brittle (unlike conventional felts, that can disintegrate over time).
Professional’s Best Choice
- Safer for Installers… 
Specially designed surface helps provide excellent walkability for installers versus conventional felts or typical synthetic underlayments. 
- Deck-Side Coating…
Anti-skid back coating helps improve walkability, while also helping to keep the roll stationary during installation. 
- Stronger… 
Synthetic, non-woven construction provides at least 600% (i.e. 7 times) greater tear strength than standard #30 felt. (Trapezoidal tear strength testing per ASTM D4533)
Up to 147% higher nail pull-through strength than #30 felt helps keep the product in place. (Nail pull-through testing per ASTM D3462)
- Faster Installation… 
42” wide roll provides 17% more coverage per course than traditional 36” wide felts 
- Lightweight… 
At 40 lbs. (18kg), it’s approximately 33% lighter than a roll of #30 felt. 
- Flexible Application… 
Recommended for use with asphaltic shingle roof systems. May also be used with non-asphaltic systems, such as slate, wood, metal, or tile.
