REX SynFelt synthetic roof underlayment is the first choice for price conscious builders and home-owners. It is constructed of a high strength woven fabric that eliminates the wicking action of the non-woven products stopping moisture build up between the deck and underlayment. REX SynFelt is coated on both sides with a specially formulated polymer making it one of the most slip resistant in the industry. It is UV resistant providing 6 months of exposure time. It is 10 times lighter than 30-pound felt and 20 times stronger providing a safe tear-resistant covering every time. REX SynFelt is a 10 square roll, offering more coverage per roll and it comes preprinted with overlap lines and nailing positions. Because it is asphalt free, 100 percent polypropylene and lighter in weight it is the perfect green building product saving our natural resources and environment. ATAS International ATA-Guard is a polyolefin based, 100 percent asphalt free, high strength reinforced roofing underlayment for use on steep slopes beneath metal roofing.
