When your roofing project demands the highest level of protection and performance, turn to Epilay ProtecTite Platinum Synthetic Roofing Underlayment. This premium, heavy-duty underlayment is built with advanced engineering as a top-tier replacement for traditional #15 and #30 felt, especially suited for commercial applications and demanding residential projects. With a substantial 17 MIL thickness, it provides a robust layer of defense against the elements. Despite its heavy-duty nature, a 10-square roll weighs only 37 lbs, making it significantly lighter than felt (2x lighter than #15 felt) and much easier for contractors to handle on the job site, improving safety and efficiency.
Epilay ProtecTite Platinum stands out with its exceptional strength, being an impressive 35 times stronger than both #15 and #30 felt. This superior tear strength minimizes the risk of damage during installation and provides lasting durability. The innovative GripWalk® gray top surface offers a cooler working area and high traction for enhanced walk-ability on steep slopes, even in damp conditions. The Skid-Resist® high anti-skid bottom surface, featuring advanced polymers, helps keep the underlayment firmly in place and prevents tearing when fastened, contributing to a reliable, watertight layer. The combination of manageable weight (37 lbs per 10 sq roll), a generous 48″ width, and a 250 ft roll length allows for faster installation (over 30% faster than felt) by reducing the number of laps, cuts, and overall handling. ProtecTite Platinum’s versatility makes it an ideal underlayment for a broad range of primary roofing materials, including metal, slate, asphalt shingles, and concrete & clay tiles. It is a durable and reliable choice, supported by an extensive 40-year limited warranty.
