Synthetic Roof Underlayment Institute Established to Advocate for Synthetic Roof Underlayments
CHICAGO — The Synthetic Roof Underlayment Institute (SRUI) has formed to improve and develop industry standards, educate roofing manufacturers, contractors and industry associations, and to promote the use of synthetic roof underlayments within the residential and commercial roofing communities.
”The purpose in forming SRUI was to promote the value of premium synthetic roof underlayments as a life cycle performance component within roof and wall systems,” said Mark C. Strait, SRUI chairman and president of Kirsch Building Products. ”We want to educate the roofing and building industries in the proper design, engineering and installation of premium synthetic roof underlayments as these industries move away from asphalt-based products.”
