The Roofer’s Choice – Why We Stopped Using Traditional Asphalt Felt

2025-02-14

For roofing professionals, every day is spent working at heights, installing and repairing roofs. Every step matters for

efficiency and safety. Choosing the right underlayment doesn’t just affect installation speed—it determines the durability

of the entire roofing system.

 
 

“We used to rely on asphalt felt, but it caused too many problems.”

• Too heavy to carry – Moving dozens of rolls of traditional felt each day felt like lifting bricks. It added unnecessary strain on workers.

• Tears too easily – During installation, even a slight pull could cause it to rip, especially in windy conditions.

• Absorbs moisture and deforms – After rain or humidity, asphalt felt would absorb water, swell, and affect the overall roof quality.

• Slippery and unsafe – Asphalt felt has a smooth surface, increasing the risk of workers slipping, especially in wet conditions.

 
 
 

“But everything changed when we switched to MOUNTAIN BIGFOOT BARRIER.”

it effortlessly, covering more area in a day.

✅ Tear-resistant, even in windy conditions – Its reinforced strength prevents tearing or blowing away, ensuring a smooth

and secure installation.

✅ All-weather protection – The waterproof layer prevents leaks, while UV resistance keeps it from deteriorating even after

prolonged sun exposure.
