The Power of Synthetic Roofing and Underlayment Benefits

Synthetic roofing offers incredible composite roofing benefits, especially when paired with a quality synthetic roofing underlayment. Unlike traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles or metal roofing, synthetic roofs are engineered for longevity, often lasting 50 years or more. A key component of their durability is the roof underlayment. This synthetic underlayment, often a rubberized asphalt underlayment, acts as a water shield to prevent water penetration from monsoons, protecting your home from water damage and mold growth.

Unlike traditional felt paper or asphalt saturated felt (commonly known as tar paper), synthetic underlayment provides superior resistance to heat and UV rays, which is critical in Phoenix’s climate. Brands like Owens Corning offer advanced felt synthetics and synthetic underlayment options that enhance any roofing system. At In-Ex Designs, we ensure every synthetic roof we install includes a high-quality roofing underlayment to maximize performance on both flat and sloped roofs.

Eco-Friendly Roofing for a Sustainable Future

Phoenix homeowners are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, and eco-friendly roofing options like synthetic materials deliver. Many synthetic roofs, including their synthetic material underlayment, are made from recyclable building materials, reducing waste and environmental impact. According to the U.S. Green Building Council, sustainable roofing can also lower energy costs by reflecting heat, keeping your home cooler in the desert climate.

The synthetic roof underlayment also contributes by preventing mold growth, which can be a concern with traditional felt paper that absorbs moisture. By choosing synthetic roofing with a quality roof underlayment, you’re not only protecting your home but also contributing to a greener future—an added bonus for environmentally conscious roofers and homeowners alike.

Why Phoenix Loves Synthetic Roofing

In Phoenix, where temperatures can soar past 100°F, you need a roof that’s tough yet beautiful. Synthetic roofing, paired with a synthetic roofing underlayment, checks both boxes. The underlayment acts as a barrier against water penetration from monsoons and heat damage from the sun, ensuring your roof remains intact year-round. This is especially important for steep slope roofs, where proper underlayment ensures water runs off without seeping through.

Synthetic roofing is also lightweight, reducing stress on your home’s structure, and comes in a variety of styles to match your aesthetic, unlike heavier options like metal roof systems. Whether you’re in Scottsdale, Chandler, or our new White Mountain location, In-Ex Designs offers personalized durable roofing solutions tailored to your needs. Visit our Synthetic Roofing page to explore the styles and materials we offer, from synthetic slate to shake, all backed by a top-tier roofing underlayment.

Comparing Synthetic Underlayment to Traditional Options

When considering a roof replacement, the choice of underlayment can make a big difference. Here’s how synthetic roofing underlayment compares to traditional options:

• Traditional Felt Paper: Asphalt saturated felt or tar paper is a common felt underlayment used in the roofing industry. While affordable, it can degrade under Phoenix’s intense heat and is prone to water damage over time, leading to mold growth.
• Synthetic Underlayment: A rubberized asphalt underlayment offers better resistance to water penetration and UV damage. It’s also lighter, typically sold in a roll measured by square foot, making it easier for roofers to install. Its technical specs include higher tear strength and durability compared to paper-based options.
• Cost Considerations: While the unit price of synthetic underlayment may be higher than traditional felt paper, its longevity and protection against damage make it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
