Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
#15 ASTM D226 felt remains the economical choice for standard shingle jobs where a synthetic is not specified. At 36 in. width you gain speed over 18 in. rolls, but plan lap allowances carefully so the 4-square yield works out. Keep rolls dry and flat before and during installation to avoid wrinkles and tears.
Felt underlayment becomes slippery when wet and can tear underfoot; wear non-slip footwear and use fall protection on the roof.
Order TRI-BUILT #15 ASTM D226 felt, 4-square rolls, for your next shingle roof.
