  • Episode 9 - What is the Best Underlayment for a Metal Roof?
    Nov 20 2024
    In Episode 9 of Building With Metal, we dive into the crucial topic of underlayments for metal roofs. Underlayments act as a protective barrier against weather elements, both during and after construction. We explore the three main types: felt paper, mechanically attached synthetic, and peel-and-stick synthetic underlayments. Felt paper, though economical, falls short in durability and environmental friendliness. Mechanically attached synthetic underlayments offer strength and ease of installation, while peel-and-stick options provide superior protection and sealability, albeit at a higher cost. Tune in to discover the best underlayment choice for your metal roofing needs and ensure long-lasting performance.
