Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
ProtecTite Superior is a solid felt replacement for steep-slope residential work: one 23 lb roll replaces the bulk of several felt rolls, and the woven structure resists tearing around fasteners. Keep laps and fastener pattern consistent with the covering manufacturer's spec, and roll it out flat without wrinkles before shingling. Its 7 MIL thickness balances tear strength with light handling weight.
Synthetic underlayment can be slippery, especially when wet or steep; wear appropriate footwear and fall protection on sloped roofs.
