Step up your roofing project with Epilay ProtecTite Ultra Synthetic Roofing Underlayment, designed with advanced engineering to outperform traditional felt products. This mechanically attached, coated woven synthetic underlayment is specifically manufactured to replace both #15 and #30 felt, offering a significantly lighter and stronger solution. At just 11 MIL thick, a 10-square roll weighs a mere 29 lbs, making it dramatically easier to handle and transport on the job site compared to heavy felt rolls – over 4x lighter than #15 felt. Despite its light weight, ProtecTite Ultra is an impressive 25 times stronger than traditional felt, providing exceptional tear resistance and durability during installation and throughout the life of the roof.
The innovative GripWalk® gray top layer offers a cooler working surface and high traction, enhancing walk-ability on steep slopes even when wet, improving safety for roofing crews. The Skid-Resist® high anti-skid bottom surface, made with advanced polymers, helps the underlayment stay firmly in place during installation and prevents tearing around fasteners, contributing to a watertight layer. The combination of its light weight (29 lbs per 10 sq roll), generous 48″ width, and 250 ft run length allows for significantly faster installation (over 30% quicker than felt), reducing laps, cuts, and roll handling, which translates directly into time and labor savings for roofing contractors. Epilay ProtecTite Ultra is UV-resistant and works best for use under a wide range of primary roofing materials, including metal, slate, and asphalt shingles, providing proven performance and peace of mind with a 30-year limited warranty.
