We understand how confusing roofing can be for homeowners. There are lots of new terms and components to understand, including underlayment. Since it isn’t something you do every day, learning that your new roof is a system of components working together for performance can be disconcerting.
What the heck is standing seam underlayment, and why do I need it?
Our Universal and ClickLock standing seam styles are popular choices for homeowners and design and construction professionals.
Underlayment is placed between the roof deck and the roofing product at the time of installation.
Building science proves the value of proper ventilation for moisture control and creating healthier, mold-resistant homes. Standing seam roofs inherently pass gained heat through to the roof deck and structure.
A proper underlayment system is needed to address these important issues.
