Steep slope roofing applications under asphalt shingles or metal cladding: Tyvek Roof Protector is well-suited for steep slope roofing applications under asphalt shingles or metal cladding due to its durability and water-resistant properties. It provides a protective barrier against wind-driven rain and snow, reducing the risk of water infiltration beneath the primary roofing materials. Its non-woven structure enhances tear resistance, making it durable enough to withstand the stresses of steep slopes. Additionally, its breathable design allows moisture vapour to escape from the inside, preventing condensation build-up, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of asphalt shingles or metal cladding over time. This combination of moisture management and durability makes it an ideal underlay for steep slope roofs.

• What is Tyvek Roof Protector? - Tyvek Roof Protector is a high-performance synthetic roofing underlayment that provides a durable and water-resistant barrier beneath roof coverings like shingles, tiles, or metal roofing. It helps protect against water infiltration and provides an extra layer of defence for roofs.
• What makes Tyvek Roof Protector different from traditional roofing felt? - Tyvek Roof Protector is lighter, more durable, and tear-resistant compared to traditional roofing felt. Its synthetic composition offers superior water resistance, long-lasting performance, and easier installation, making it a popular alternative for modern roofing projects.
• How is Tyvek Roof Protector installed? - Tyvek Roof Protector is installed over the roof deck, with the smooth side facing upwards. It is rolled out horizontally, starting from the bottom edge of the roof and overlapping each course as you go upwards. It is secured with nails or roofing staples.
• How does Tyvek Roof Protector help protect roofs from water damage? - Tyvek Roof Protector creates a water-resistant barrier that prevents water from reaching the roof deck. This added protection helps minimise the risk of leaks, even if the roof covering is damaged or displaced.
