Protecting the Roof With a Synthetic Underlayment Video

Sandro Di Pede of Interwrap explains the new technology behind roofing underlayments like the Titanium UDL being used on the Mashpee affordable home. Used in conjunction with an ice and water barrier, the Titanium UDL underlayment creates a weather-proof roof that can remain exposed for up to six months before being clad in the outer roofing layer. This advance in building technology lets builders seal the envelope of the house and be more flexible with the roofing schedule without compromising the construction. This 100-percent-synthetic polymer underlayment is lighter but sturdier than traditional builder's felt. One 40-pound roll of Titanium replaces six rolls of number 30 felt. This equates to savings in time, material, and storage. The grey material makes for a cooler, reflective roof that reduces energy loads on the home during high-temperature seasons. Titanium UDL also has a Sure-Foot patented design that reduces slipping for roofing crews.
