Synthetic Roof Underlayment

The Power of Synthetic Roofing and Underlayment Benefits

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

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.

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.
