Roof underlayment is a crucial element in the roofing system that acts as a protective barrier between the shingles and the roof deck. It serves as an additional layer of defense against water infiltration, moisture, and other external elements that could potentially damage your roof. While the shingles are the visible and aesthetic component of your roof, the underlayment plays a vital role in keeping your home safe and protected.
There are different types of roof underlayment materials available in the market, with the most common ones being felt and synthetic materials. Felt underlayment, also known as asphalt felt, has been a traditional choice for many years due to its affordability and effectiveness in providing protection. However, synthetic underlayment has gained popularity in recent years due to its superior performance and durability.
At AJH Roofing LLC, we recommend using synthetic underlayment for its numerous benefits. Synthetic underlayment is lightweight, tear-resistant, and provides better protection against moisture and UV rays compared to felt underlayment. It is also easier to install and offers a longer lifespan, making it a cost-effective choice for homeowners in the long run.
Proper installation of roof underlayment is crucial for ensuring its effectiveness in protecting your home. Our team at AJH Roofing LLC is trained and experienced in installing roof underlayment to the highest standards. We ensure that the underlayment is properly laid out, secured, and overlaps correctly to provide maximum protection for your roof.
In addition to protecting your home from water damage, roof underlayment also plays a crucial role in improving the energy efficiency of your home. By providing an additional layer of insulation, underlayment helps to reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, leading to lower energy bills and a more comfortable indoor environment.
In conclusion, roof underlayment is an essential component of your roofing system that should not be overlooked. Investing in high-quality synthetic underlayment and ensuring proper installation by a professional roofing company like AJH Roofing LLC can help prolong the lifespan of your roof, improve energy efficiency, and protect your home from the elements.
