RethinkingRoofingUnderlayment 2New publication from Tarco

As the number of roofing underlayment products in the market grows, contractors are becoming more discerning in their choices. Today, you can pick from a vast array of underlayment products for any roofing application you install, but with so many choices, how do you decide which product is best for you?

Our new publication, Rethinking Roofing Underlayments, helps to answer that question.

Rethinking Roofing Underlayments begins with an informative look at the history and development of underlayments, from traditional asphalt-saturated organic felt to today's premium self-adhering and synthetic products. The development and use of premium, modified bituminous self-adhering underlayment is examined, and an overview of synthetics and their role in present day roofing is discussed.

Part Two describes the materials and manufacturing processes involved in making underlayments, with special emphasis on synthetic underlayments. Part Three evaluates the features and benefits of the various types of underlayments for specific applications.
