Expect Superior Moisture Protection in Florida’s Rainy, Wet Climate

Quality roof underlayment is a contractor’s dream roofing material and a homeowner’s added protection from moisture and rain. It acts as a waterproof shield, backing up shingles or tiles, even when they’re damaged. And top-notch protection from water intrusion is a must-have for Florida homes.

• Prevents water infiltration: South Florida’s intense thunderstorms are no match for resilient roof underlayment that prevents leaks and moisture intrusion.
• Improves a roof’s lifespan: Roofing materials age with exposure to intense weather. High-quality underlayment blocks moisture that would otherwise deteriorate roof decking, improving a roof’s lifespan.
• Reduces fungal growth: Keep moisture out and reduce the risks of mold or fungal growth in your roofing materials.

Why It Works So Well

This underlayment is versatile with its two-ply application and dual layers. The top layer offers 60 Mils, and the second bottom layer adds 55 Mils for a combined thickness of 115 Mils. It also works well as a moisture barrier because it ensures a smooth foundation for most all roof types, including asphalt shingles, tile roofs, and metal panels. Tag & Stick is a peel-and-stick-style underlayment that is additionally combined with a mechanically attached top sheet, making it a breeze to use for roofing contractors.

Construction professionals also appreciate the ease of use with steep roofing slopes and the ease of removal for repairs or roof replacement.

• Save time and labor by as much as 40%.
• Spend minimal time on site for improved productivity.
• Premium underlayment materials produce lasting results.

Resilient Roof Underlayment Is Added Defense for Hurricane-Prone Areas

Roof underlayment is a wise investment for any home in any region. But it’s especially valuable for Broward County residents and others in South Florida who contend with hurricane conditions. Because high-quality underlayment offers additional protective qualities, it’s an essential roofing component.

• Wind resistance: Quality underlayment can withstand strong wind uplift, securing shingles and protecting roof decking from peeling back.
• Minimize damage: During storms, even minor breaches can let water into the structure. Underlayment reduces this risk by blocking water penetration even if shingles are damaged.
• Secure roofing materials: When installed properly, underlayment can help to prevent tiles or shingles from becoming projectiles in high winds, reducing potential damage and risk.

Pro Tip: Rubberized asphalt underlayment is ideal for hurricane-prone areas due to its high adhesion, flexibility, and ability to self-seal around nails.

Choosing the Right Underlayment for Florida’s Climate

Selecting the right underlayment type is key to achieving optimal protection and durability for a Florida roof.

• Asphalt-saturated felt paper: This used to be the go-to preference before synthetic materials became available for modern roofs.
• Synthetic underlayment: This type combines fiberglass with asphalt. These products are a popular choice for roofing contractors, especially when a more stable underlayment is needed.
• Rubberized roofing underlayment: These products feature modified bitumen or peel-and-stick membranes. It’s what makes this underlayment waterproof. And when applied with higher percentages of asphalt and rubber polymers, rubberized roofing underlayment is a top-pick for homes in particularly rainy areas.

Pro Tip: Consult with roofing professionals to select an underlayment tailored to your roof type, design, and exposure to elements.

The Long-Term Value of Roof Underlayment

There is long-term value associated with high-quality roofing products. See why so many homeowners choose to invest in self-adhered roof underlayment with Tag & Stick.

• Reduced maintenance needs
• Avoid unnecessary water damage
• Prevent moisture intrusion in the long-term
• Minimize the need for replacement
• Added protection for attics and interiors
• Mitigates potential damage for structural damage

Residents Enjoy Comfort and Energy Efficiency

In addition to its incredible protective properties, resilient roof underlayment has other benefits. Choosing one with energy-efficient properties can help Florida homeowners keep cooling costs low while improving indoor comfort.

• Reduced humidity indoors: Block moisture from entering the attic, leading to reduced humidity levels indoors.
• Potential to lower cooling costs: Because underlayment acts as an insulative barrier, the South Florida heat doesn’t permeate through the home as intensely, leading to reduced cooling costs.
• Improved temperature regulation: Since high-quality roof underlayment helps to reduce attic temperatures, it can reduce the demand for a home’s cooling system.

Installation and Roof Maintenance for Ultimate Protection

While roof underlayment is an essential component of a leak-free roof, it’s only as effective as the professional installation process and the proper maintenance.

Maximize your roof protection with:

• Professional installation: Properly installed roof underlayment will cover every square inch of the roof deck for optimal protection.
• Seasonal inspections: Regular professional roof inspections will ensure there is no wear and tear or need for replacement, especially before (and after) hurricane season.
• Fix minor issues quickly: Small tears or punctures from debris should be quickly repaired to ensure seamless water protection.
