Roof Underlayment: The Hidden Layer Protecting Your Arizona Home

September 11, 2024
Kore Roofing is Arizona's leading roofing company, Kore specializes in new roofs, repairs, and insurance claims.

When it comes to roof maintenance and longevity, one component often goes unnoticed — the roof underlayment. At Kore Roofing, we know this protective layer plays a critical role in keeping your home safe from leaks, moisture, and weather damage. Here’s why it matters and how we ensure your underlayment remains in peak condition.


What Is Roof Underlayment?

Underlayment is the protective sheet installed directly on the roof deck before your shingles, tile, or metal roofing go on. It acts as a secondary barrier against water infiltration. Common types include:

  • Asphalt-Saturated Felt – Traditional tar paper for basic water resistance.

  • Synthetic Underlayment – Lightweight, tear-resistant, and highly water-resistant.

  • Rubberized Asphalt – Premium waterproofing with strong adhesion for vulnerable areas.


Why Underlayment Is So Important

1. Waterproofing Protection – Prevents leaks if the outer roofing layer is compromised.
2. Ice & Water Shield – Protects against ice dams and standing water damage.
3. Enhanced Durability – Shields the roof deck from wind, rain, and UV damage.
4. Improved Energy Efficiency – Some types help insulate and reduce energy costs.
5. Installation Protection – Safeguards the deck during the roofing process.
