Wow! I'm impressed that you didn't just recommend synthetic for everything, but I do agree with your recommendations.
I appreciate your video. IMO the added cost of synthetic underlayment is well worth the additional years of security.
What kind of additional years of security are you expecting when the underlayment has thousands of nail holes from shingle installation?
My felt paper has lasted 31 years and it’s still not leaking. I want to put on a new roof because we’re probably gonna sell the house and that’s a good selling point. I don’t see why I would go with anything but felt paper even though all the roofers are trying to force me to synthetic because it’s easier for them
Stick with 30 lb felt. Synthetic is easier and faster for the roofers, but not really that much.
I have a problem that my under-tile underlayment makes a terrible flapping noise in high winds. Is there a product that can deal with strong winds?
Synthetics are not usually used under tile. Instead, a UDL underlayment works better with the weight of tile roofs. It is also much thicker and heavier and should not flap. Since your tile roof is already installed, I don't see an easy fix.
@@slydog7131 Thank you for the advice. What is an UDF though? I may want to experiment with it on another roof in future.
@@johanolwage213 UDL is a rubberized asphalt underlayment, something like heavy felt but thicker with some flexibility. My understanding is that various manufacturers make this. You can find some more information by going to the Irish-sounding asphalt shingle company's website (my experience is that if I write the name then UA-cam won't post this reply) and looking at their underlayments where you can find specs. It is their recommended underlayment for tile roofs, but it can also be used for other. You might also check with a roofer that is certified with their products as they might have small samples that they show to customers. That is where I actually saw the difference between UDL and synthetics. In my market area the building supply doesn't carry it. They could order it but I would have to buy an entire pallet load, which I don't need.
What about if you have a tile roof No one of the videos ever talk about that you know out in Arizona and New Mexico in Southern California there’s a lot of tile roofs
Malarkey recommends their UDL underlayment for tile roofs.
wake up!
