High-Performing Underlayment Is the First Step to a Complete Steep-Slope Roof System
The product category of roofing underlayment is gaining considerable esteem these days, but not before it took some serious beatings. Traditional asphalt-saturated felt underlayment, the most commonly used and most familiar of the three basic residential roof underlayments, has been especially criticized by contractors. As a result, manufacturers like Atlas Roofing Corporation have stepped up to create a high-performance felt underlayment that addresses contractors’ concerns. In this case, Gorilla Guard EVERFELT Engineered underlayment is the answer.
There are numerous functions of roof underlayment, and at the same time there are distinct things underlayment should not do. Namely, underlayment should not disrupt the roof’s drainage, degrade the aesthetics or performance of the primary roofing, impair the application of the roof, or be too slippery to walk on. Yet these are all common issues among contractors using traditional felt underlayment.
