This product is strong, flexible and impervious to water penetration, but will allow water vapor to pass through at a restricted rate.. Preconditioned to help it lay flat and remain stable after installation on a roof deck. This underlayment asphalt felt is designed to be used as an all-purpose protective waterproof sheet in construction projects. Ca be installed as a temporary roof cover during house construction and then serve as a permanent shingle underlayment after shingles are installed.
