As the global construction industry moves toward high-performance roofing systems, Synthetic Roofing Underlayment is gradually replacing traditional felt paper as the go-to choice beneath roof coverings. Whether your roofing material is clay tiles, concrete tiles, asphalt shingles, metal tiles, resin tiles, or slate, synthetic underlayment provides superior protection and durability—serving as the critical but often overlooked foundation of the roof.

Why Do Tiled Roofs Need Synthetic Underlayment?

Tiled roofs are known for their structural strength and classic appearance, but the tiles themselves are not fully waterproof. In situations involving wind-driven rain, snow accumulation, or tile displacement, the real line of defense lies underneath the tiles: the underlayment.

✅ Superior Water Resistance

Synthetic underlayment acts as a waterproof barrier, preventing leaks even when tiles are cracked, displaced, or degraded over time.

✅ UV & Weather Resistance

Unlike traditional felt, synthetic materials resist aging and UV damage, maintaining their integrity under intense sunlight and fluctuating temperatures.

✅ Tear Resistance & Flexibility

Durable and tear-resistant, synthetic underlayment conforms to complex roof structures and withstands foot traffic during installation.

✅ Slip Resistance Improves Safety

Most products feature anti-slip surfaces, making them safer to work on—especially important on steep or high-pitched tile roofs.

✅ Compatible with Various Tile Materials

Whether it’s ceramic, concrete, metal, composite shingles, or slate, synthetic underlayment provides a strong and stable base layer for all.

Ideal Applications:

• Residential homes and villas

• Boutique hotels and guesthouses with pitched roofs

• Churches, schools, and traditional buildings

• Government and high-end development projects

• Mediterranean, European, or Asian-style architecture
