What Is Roofing Underlayment?
Roofing underlayment doesn’t get as much attention as shingles do because they’re the most visible part of the roof. However, underlayment is the unsung hero of a good roof. It’s a layer of moisture-resistant material that goes underneath your shingles, helping to protect your roof from damage caused by water seeping through your shingles.
For years, roofers and contractors used felt for this purpose, but now synthetic materials have taken over. They’re more expensive but lighter, lie flatter, and offer better water resistance, saving you a big headache.
First Defense
Waterproofing Roofing Underlayment
The first defense in protecting your home from the elements is with a waterproofing roofing underlayment. This self-adhering material is installed at vulnerable areas of your roof, like around chimneys and skylights, to create an added layer of protection to guard against leaks caused by rain and ice dams.
WinterGuard®
You want the best of the best when it comes to keeping your roof watertight. That’s where CertainTeed WinterGuard® Waterproofing shingle underlayment comes in. Made from a composite of asphalt polymers, this rolled sheet of roofing underlayment is built to last. Not only is it vapor-tight thanks to the asphalt, but the polymers make it stretchy and adhesive too. This means it can stretch and seal around nails that might otherwise leave gaps for water to seep in. At Elevated Roofing, we know that protecting your roof is vital to keeping your home safe and dry. We feature CertainTeed WinterGuard® as our go-to solution for tackling water penetration in your roof’s most vulnerable areas.
Several options are available to meet the needs of every roof style, slope, and preference. Whatever surface type you choose, take comfort in knowing that you’ve made an informed decision to protect your roof for years to come.

SECOND DEFENSE
Water-Resistant Roofing Underlayment
Have you ever experienced a leaky roof during a rainstorm? It can cause severe damage to your home. This water-resistant layer of roofing underlayment acts as a secondary barrier against leaks, providing extra protection for your home. It’s like having a backup plan in case of emergencies.

SYNTHETIC UNDERLAYMENT
This synthetic underlayment can be used with various roofing materials, including shingle, shake, metal, and slate. What sets it apart from standard felt underlayment is its exceptional dimensional stability. In other words, it won’t warp or move around like other options.
SLIP RESISTANT
One common issue of subpar roofing underlayments is how they can wrinkle and cause visible imperfections under your shingles. Luckily, DiamondDeck® eliminates the risk of wrinkling and has a top surface treatment that gives it outstanding slip resistance, even when wet.
