The Next Big Thing In Roof Underlayment |
Posted: September 17, 2021 |
We’re excited about an innovative move in the roofing underlayment space. Tag & Stick’s product line is changing a lot for contractors and homeowners. Roof underlayment, and maybe roofing in general, is just not one of those constantly changing industries. The last big thing to stir up the biz was synthetic products. Aside from making roofs do things other than just be a roof, like solar additions and roof covers being more versatile, it hasn’t exactly been an industry to keep a close eye on. It doesn’t even seem like an area that needs to change. But if you’re a roofing contractor, you know all about those conversations on which steps could be better. Underlayment, with all its tricky products and techniques, is right up there. And this is what Tag & Stick are motivated to change with their self-adhering roof underlayment. Let’s get straight into the biggest impacts made by Tag & Stick.
How Does It Fair When It Comes To Hurricane Weather?Some products have attempted to make underlayment easier; many don’t meet building codes. Not even all the synthetic underlayment products, so popular nowadays, meet all these requirements. In weather like our typical South Florida heavy winds, this is vital. But Tag and Stick does. It is the only product of its kind to meet Florida’s strict wind uplift regulations. This is just the kind of assurance you want. With that box checked, it really is worth looking deeper at its other features.
What Does Tag & Stick Replace?Tag and Stick really shows its strength when viewed from in the perspective of the contractor, before going on to prove itself to the homeowner. Working at heights is risky for every man on the roof, for every minute on the roof. Especially steep ones. This product reduces that time in half. That is a massively improved risk profile. A lot of underlayment work involves materials and equipment you don’t really want to be working with at a steep height. By eliminating hot tar, torches, kettles, or mops the job becomes naturally safer. And doesn’t the world love innovation that moves to make every job safer and more easier to apply? How Does It Compare to Other Roof Underlayment?Works under all roof types of steep sloped roofing material: Tile, Clay, Metal, Shingle. The process is simplified, too. A combination of mechanical attachments and self-adhering sheets in one roll. These are bold changes. Some underlayments aren’t thick enough for Florida conditions. But Tag & Stick is a two-ply roof underlayment product that totals 115ml. If you imagine any part of your roof being pulled off in a storm, or a roof standing bare before roofing materials go on, any number of hazards come to mind. So, the less inclined it is to tear, the better. The structure of Tag & Stick is proven durable. What Is The Real Impact Of This Roof Underlayment Product?It makes it so easy that this product is a listed and accepted roof underlayment product in The Florida Code and Miami-Dade County. It simplifies a high-risk everyday task for so many contractors. Things are now different at every stage. For contractors, there are fewer concerns, fewer components to take with them, and much less risk. The job is even quicker and less intense. For the homeowner, there are fewer contractors on site, for less time. There is less to do and consider with this product. It is hurricane proofed to a solid standard. And if they ever need a new roof, this underlayment will not affect the decking or sheathing when it is removed. How To Switch To Tag & StickTag & Stick is a widely distributed roof underlayment product already through some great partnerships. Making it simple for contractors and roofing companies to offer this product. And because it is less labor intensive, the learning curve will be smooth. For homeowners, as soon as you have need for a new roof, this should be the first place you look going forward.
