OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. – With a desire to cultivate the long-term success of underlayment products for building envelope applications for both residential and commercial structures, four roofing companies – Carlisle, Gardner-Gibson, Maryland Paper and Mid-States Asphalt – have formed the Asphalt Underlayment Council (AUC).  This new group’s interim executive council was instrumental in identifying the need for an industry council that supports the standardization of underlayment product quality, performance and integrity. Current AUC members include Owens Corning, Polyglass USA, Mulehide Manufacturing, GMC Roofing & Building Paper, GAP Roofing, Warrior Roofing Manufacturing and GAF.

“With the introduction of new types of roofing underlayment products, it was felt that an industry group was needed to monitor, administer and contribute to product standards,” said AUC Executive Director Michelle Miller.
