Developed by the experts at Sentry Building Innovations, Sahara™ Anchor Deck™ (BU15) redefines the performance standards for synthetic underlayments. Unlike traditional non-breathable synthetics, Anchor Deck™ utilizes DRYZAT™ Smart Nano Technology to assist in releasing trapped moisture from within the roof system to the outside air. This unique capability allows roof decks that were exposed to rain or snow during construction to dry even after the primary roofing material has been installed, safeguarding the building from internal moisture damage.

The underlayment is engineered for productivity and safety, featuring a textured, slip-resistant walking surface that provides excellent steep-slope walkability. It remains pliable and easy to handle in extreme temperatures ranging from -40F to 240F, ensuring consistent performance in any climate. With a Class A fire rating and high-strength formulation that minimizes stretching around fasteners, Sahara™ Anchor Deck™ gives contractors and property owners the security they demand for a long-lasting roofing system.
