Reading Time: 2 minutes

The roof is a home’s first line of defense against the elements, protecting your family and belongings. For a roof to perform its job effectively, especially in the Florida climate, it needs to be installed with durable roofing materials. A Florida home roof needs to be able to withstand intense heat, torrential downpour, and most importantly, hurricane season. Roofing underlayment plays a large role in making this possible.

Tag & Stick roofing underlayment is quickly becoming an industry go-to solution for roofers. Understanding underlayment and why it’s important may prove why Tag & Stick may be just for you!

Understanding Roof Underlayment

Roofing installation involves a number of different processes, one of which is the underlayment system. Roof underlayment is a key part of most roofing systems. Spread over the roof’s plywood deck before the tiles or shingles are laid, roof underlayment protects the wood from the outdoor elements. Acting as a barrier against the heat and moisture.

Different Options

Living in Florida means that your roofing underlayment has to be strong enough to withstand intense heat, heavy downpours, and hurricane season. All of this combined with each unique roofing design means that choosing the type of underlayment for your roof is no quick task. You’ll need to consider the type of roofing deck, covering, materials, and method of installation.

The three most popular underlayment options are asphalt-saturated felt paper, synthetic underlayment, and rubberized roofing underlayment. While each has its own strengths, Tag & Stick may be the ultimate solution for all sloped roofing needs.

Tag & Stick

Tag & Stick is very quickly increasing in popularity, changing the underlayment installation process from several steps to one!

Tag & Stick is a two-ply underlayment product, available as a 36” wide roll of modified SBS. This wide roll has an 18” upper Selvage Portion and an 18” lower Woven Fabric surface. While the upper Selvage portion is mechanically attached to the sheathing, the underside of the lower Woven Fabric consists of self-adhering adhesive with a removable silicone release film. The self-adhered portion, together with the mechanically attached Selvage portion provides a two-ply underlayment.

  • It can remain exposed for 180 days before the final roof covering is installed
  • The underlayment is 115 mil of thick, reinforced fiberglass made up of two plies. The top ply is 60 mil thick and the bottom is 55 mil. Together, this makes Tag & Stick approximately twice the thickness of most other underlayment products
  • Its tough combination of reinforced fiberglass and asphalt flux makes this underlayment both durable and long-lasting
  • Mechanically fastened to the deck, in the event of reroofing, the underlayment can be removed without damaging or delaminating the deck
  • Its fast installation not only saves the contractors trips to site but saves you time and money
