Features

Advanced Engineering

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

Cooler Working Surface

ProtecTite® Superior’s GripWalk® unique gray top layer which provides for a cooler working surface can be used under primary roofing materials to replace #15 Felt and #30 Felt. GripWalk® high traction walking surface permits easier steep slope walk-ability, even during high condensation or moisture on the surface.

High anti skid bottom

ProtecTite® Superior’s Skid-Resist® anti-skid bottom surface made with advanced polymers helps keep the underlayment intact and prevents the fabric from tearing while it is being fastened avoiding any leakages through the underlayment layer.

Exceptional Strength

ProtecTite® Superior is 25 times stronger than #15 Felt and #30 Felt and 4x lighter than #15 Felt and #30 Felt. With a 7mil thickness, a 10 square roll weighs only 23 lbs.! 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 ProtecTite® Superior’s 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.

Protectite Superior Synthetic Roofing Underlayment
  • Grip Walk

    Epilay® GripWalk® is our unique high-traction top layer which reduces heat and provides a cooler working surface. GripWalk®‘s textured walking surface permits easier walkability on steep slopes and retains its non-slippery properties even during high condensation and moisture on the surface.

  • Skid Resist

    Epilay® SkidResist® is a very high anti-skid bottom layer made with superior technology and advanced polymers that helps keep the underlayment intact and prevents the fabric from tearing while it is being fastened, avoiding any leakages. Ensuring enhanced stability and safely.
