When you think about a shingle roof, you probably picture the visible layer—the beautiful textures of premium designer shingles, the sleek finish of architectural shingles, or the clean look of 3-tab asphalt shingles.
But beneath that top layer lies an unsung hero of roof protection—the underlayment.
At Scaffs India, we know that underlayment plays a critical role in extending your roof’s life, improving performance, and safeguarding your home.
What Is Roof Underlayment?
Underlayment is a protective barrier installed between your roof deck and shingles. It’s part of our accessory products range and serves as the last line of defense against water infiltration, wind-driven rain, and other elements.
Why Underlayment Matters for Longevity
1. Extra Waterproofing Protection
Even the best shingles can lift or crack under extreme conditions. Underlayment catches water that sneaks past shingles, preventing leaks and wood rot.
2. Temperature & Moisture Control
In humid regions like Kerala, underlayment helps control condensation, keeping your attic dry and your home’s structure safe.
3. Enhanced Shingle Performance
By creating a smooth, uniform surface, underlayment supports proper shingle installation—critical for high-performance products like our Borja Tech tiles or TB-12 tiles.
4. Fire & Wind Resistance
Quality underlayment can add fire resistance and help keep shingles intact in high winds.
Underlayment + Shingles: The Perfect Pair
A beautiful roof is only as strong as its foundation. Whether you’re building an A-frame cottage, a wooden villa, or a traditional home, combining durable shingles with a high-grade underlayment ensures decades of reliable performance.
Professional Installation Is Key
Even the best underlayment can fail if installed improperly. That’s why our roofing services focus on:
Correct fastening techniques
Overlap precision for complete coverage
Integration with ventilation and flashing systems
Conclusion
If you want your shingle roof to last longer, stay leak-free, and handle Kerala’s climate with ease, never overlook the role of underlayment. At Scaffs India, we combine premium roofing materials with expert installation to deliver roofs that stand the test of time.
