Experience the next generation of roofing underlayment with Epilay ProtecTite Superior. This mechanically attached, coated woven synthetic underlayment is engineered for exceptional performance and ease of use, serving as a direct and superior replacement for traditional #15 and #30 felt. A key highlight is its incredibly light weight; at just 7 MIL thick, a 10-square roll weighs only 23 lbs, making it significantly easier to transport, carry up ladders, and maneuver on the roof – 4 times lighter than #15 felt and 5 times lighter according to the user’s text. Despite its minimal weight, ProtecTite Superior boasts impressive strength, being 25 times stronger than felt, providing excellent tear resistance during installation and providing a robust layer of protection.

The innovative GripWalk® gray top surface is designed for a cooler working environment and offers high traction, ensuring easier and safer walk-ability on steep roof slopes, even when wet. The Skid-Resist® anti-skid bottom surface, made with advanced polymers, helps the underlayment stay firmly in place once laid down and prevents tearing when fastened, contributing to a watertight assembly. The combination of ultra-light weight, generous 48″ width, and 250 ft roll length allows roofing contractors to complete jobs over 30% faster than with felt, reducing the number of laps, cuts, and overall handling, leading to substantial time and labor savings. Epilay ProtecTite Superior is specifically recommended for use under asphalt shingles and residential metal roofing systems and comes with a 20-year limited warranty, offering a reliable and efficient underlayment solution.
