Underlayments for Tile, Metal and Shingle Roofs
Underlayment should be selected for the roof covering, temperature, slope, attachment method, fire requirements and project exposure—not treated as one interchangeable roll.

Before choosing a product
How should underlayment be specified?
Begin with the roof covering and assembly requirements, then account for Arizona heat, valleys and penetrations, fastener sealing, substrate condition and any tested fire or wind configuration.
Roof covering
Tile, metal and shingles expose the underlayment to different temperatures, fastening methods and service conditions.
Self-adhered or mechanically attached
Attachment changes laps, substrate preparation, fastener sealing and how the material handles during installation.
Heat and exposure
Metal and Arizona sun can create demanding temperatures. Product limits and allowable construction exposure should be checked.
Tested assembly requirements
Fire, wind and warranty claims can depend on the complete listed assembly rather than one roll of underlayment.
Continue planning
Move from products to the right roof scope.
Use the product families to narrow the conversation. The inspection and written estimate should connect the selected surface to the complete roof assembly.
Roof underlayments questions
What to know before making the final selection.
Online product information is useful for narrowing the direction. Current samples, specifications and the roof-specific scope control the final choice.
Is synthetic underlayment always better than felt?
No single category wins every application. Roof covering, temperature, fastening, exposure, tested assembly requirements and project budget determine the appropriate product.
Why does tile underlayment matter if the concrete tile sheds water?
Tile sheds most rainfall but does not make the roof assembly waterproof by itself. Wind-driven rain, cracked tile, valleys and penetrations make the underlayment and flashing system critical.
Does metal roofing need high-temperature underlayment?
Many metal assemblies call for underlayment designed for elevated temperatures, but the exact requirement depends on the panel, slope, substrate and tested system.
Should the estimate name the underlayment product?
Yes. The written scope should identify the manufacturer and exact product rather than using only a vague phrase such as upgraded underlayment.
