Using Quality Materials To Bolster The Life Of Your Roof


 
When you install a new roof one of your main objectives is most likely to protect and maximize the life of your roof.  To achieve that goal you need to carefully consider all the roofing materials you may use.  Independent of whether you roof your home with steel roofing, cedar shingles, tile shingles or anything else, you should seriously think about using synthetic roofing underlayment to extend the life of your roof.

The advantages of using and the benefits from synthetic roofing underlayment are numerous.  For ease of installation in windy conditions this type of underlayment resists ripping and tearing far better than traditional felt roofing underlayment.  In some cases synthetic underlayment is as much as 20 times more tear resistant than traditional felt.

Another clear advantage to using the synthetic underlayment as opposed to felt is that it easily lays flat without wrinkles.  In contrast, felt tends to curl and wrinkle, making the roofing process more cumbersome.  Working with synthetic underlayment is simply faster and far more efficient.

In addition, felt tends to stick to metal roofing and steel roofing.  With synthetic roofing underlayment you don’t have that problem.   With excessive heat or moisture the felt material adheres far too easily to metal and steel.

For safety during installation the synthetic underlayment can’t be beat.  Its surface resists skidding and slipping, thus is easier to walk on.  Felt on the other hand can become quite slippery when moist and will be potentially hazardous when walking on it.

For durability and integrity of material, synthetic roofing underlayment is clearly advantageous.  The synthetic material will not absorb water.  Felt is distinctly different and will easily absorb the water, causing a more rapid breakdown and weakening.

An additional advantage of the synthetic material as opposed to felt has to do with the potential erosion of the felt underlayment.  Synthetic roofing underlayment is not subject to infestation or fungal rot.  Felt, unfortunately, can be seriously damaged by insects.  Furthermore, moisture and water absorption can lead to fungus with the felt surface.

More and more roofing contractors are switching to synthetic.  For ease of use, safety during installation and ultimate roofing protection, synthetic underlayment is becoming the preferred choice.  Whether you do it yourself or pay for the work to be done by a professional, you would be wise to choose synthetic roofing underlayment for your roof.
