What Is Synthetic Roof Underlayment?
Synthetic roof underlayment is a water-resistant barrier installed between the roof deck and the shingles or other roofing material. Unlike traditional asphalt-saturated felt, synthetic underlayment is made from woven or spun polypropylene, making it lighter, stronger, and more resistant to tearing during installation. It protects the roof structure from moisture infiltration while allowing trapped vapor to escape, extending the life of the roof system.
