Avoid A Buckled, Bumpy-Looking Roof With Superior Roof Deck Protection

Superior Quality Roof Deck Protection Can Protect And Beautify At The Same Time!

Quality roof deck protection (often referred to as "tar paper" or "felt") provides an extra layer of protection between your shingles and your roof deck.  It keeps wind-driven rain (or water from other sources) from infiltrating under your shingles and causing damage to your roof structure or the inside of your home.  In addition, a superior quality roof deck protection will:

• Lay flatter and avoid "telegraphing" wrinkles when installed
• Allow your shingles to lay flat and uniform
• Result in better-looking roofing job

Homeowner's Best Choice

• Looks Better...Fiberglass reinforced, so it lays flatter for a better-looking roof
• Lays Flatter... Reduces the telegraphing of wrinkles that can occur with conventional organic felts
• Better Protection...Eliminates the need to slit bubbled felt (which can compromise the waterproof integrity of your roofing system)

Professional's Best Choice

• Avoids Downtime...Dries faster than organic felt and avoids the inconvenience of slowly rolling conventional organic felts in the cold, early morning
• Reduced Callbacks...Due to bumpy-looking shingle jobs
• Easier To Use...Lighter and easier to handle than #30 felt
• Versatile...Can be applied over plywood, wood plank and all other approved decks
• Great Value...Competitively priced with #30 felt on a per square basis
