Synthetic felt underlayment gives contractors, shed manufacturers, and wholesale buyers a strong, weather-resistant barrier that protects the roof deck from moisture before shingles or metal panels go on. CL Aluminum stocks three proven products, Shield Right, Elephant Skin, and Star Wrap, each built to outlast traditional tar paper and hold up to harsh weather on the jobsite and after installation. Shield Right is a 6-mil synthetic barrier approved for use under asphalt, metal, and tile roofing systems, giving you one underlayment that works across multiple roof types on your bid list.

Whether your crews are running residential re-roofs or commercial jobs, these underlayments give you the strength, tear resistance, and traction professionals need to get the job done right and move on to the next one.

Experienced DIYers sometimes install their own underlayment, but most projects are handled by professional roofing crews. Always follow local building codes and the manufacturerโ€™s installation instructions for fastener type, spacing, and overlaps.
