For roofing projects in high-heat environments and hurricane-prone regions, WaterGuard™ SA TileGuard Ultra from A1A Wholesale Supply provides unmatched structural integrity. This 80-mil heavyweight underlayment is built on a robust polyester reinforcement with a non-woven top surface, designed to provide superior traction for installers and a stable substrate for heavy clay or concrete tiles.

The “Ultra” designation signifies its ability to withstand temperatures up to 265°F without degradation, bleeding, or losing adhesion—a critical requirement for metal roof assemblies and tile systems in the Sun Belt. Because it meets the Florida High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) requirements for Miami-Dade and other coastal counties, contractors can rely on it for superior wind-uplift resistance and long-term waterproofing.
