Features

Roofing Underlayment

Epilay® Plasfelt™ Roofing Underlayment with its advanced engineering is highly recommended for mechanically attached, coated woven synthetic roofing underlayment for sloped roofs. Epilay® Plasfelt™ is specifically manufactured to replace the #15 felt and #30 felt.

Epilay® Plasfelt™ is 25 times stronger than 15# felt and 5x lighter than 15# felt. With a 6.5 mil thickness, a 10 square roll weighs only 21lbs! This super low weight combined with 48" width and 250 ft. run length means big savings in time and labor - over 30% faster to install than felt!

These unique design features, when coupled with Epilay® Plasfelt™ exceptional light weight and exceptional tear strength, allows the contractor to easily carry the roll up and down the ladder. Fewer laps, cuts, and roll handling means you can do more jobs in less time resulting in huge savings for you, the roofing contractor.

Epilay® Plasfelt™ Roofing Underlayment
  • Grip Walk

    Epilay® GripWalk® high-traction unique gray top layer provides for a cooler working surface and can be used under primary roofing materials to replace 30# felt. GripWalk® high traction walking surface permits easier steep slope walkability, even during high condensation or moisture on the surface.

  • Skid Resist

    Epilay® Skid-Resist® is a very high anti-skid bottom surface made using superior technology and advanced polymers to help keep the underlayment intact and prevent the fabric from tearing while it is being fastened, avoiding any leakages through the underlayment layer.
