Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For steep-slope shingle jobs where contractors want felt performance with better tear resistance, APOC 46 Tuff-Felt is a strong premium pick; the heavy reinforcement holds up better on windier tear-off days than standard felts. Roll it perpendicular to the eave with proper lap and fasten with cap nails. In high-heat or long-exposure scenarios, consider a synthetic underlayment instead.
Underlayment surfaces can be slippery, especially when wet or dusty; wear appropriate footwear and use fall protection on the roof deck.
