Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Synthetic underlayment like this is lighter and stronger per layer than felt, so fewer rolls get hauled to the roof and it resists tearing around fasteners. Follow the printed fastener pattern and use the high-wind markings in exposed areas. In hot climates, do not leave synthetic underlayment exposed longer than the manufacturer allows before covering with the finished roof.
Synthetic underlayment can be slippery, especially when wet or dusty; wear fall protection and appropriate footwear when walking on it.
