Underlayment That Works as Hard as You

By Karen L. Edwards, RCS COO. 

Under every finished roof is an underlayment working hard to keep the home dry.

Roof underlayment works hard to protect the roof deck and the home itself, playing an important role in the performance of the roofing system. Intertape Polymer Group® (IPG®) has taken their years of research and experience in developing protective packaging, building wraps, geomembrane fabrics, pressure-sensitive and water activated tapes, stretch and shrink films and applied that expertise to the manufacture of their line of PALISADE® underlayments.  

PALISADE underlayment not only provides superior protection for the home, but it can also help keep your crews safe during the installation with its patented STRONGHOLD Skid Resistant Technology®. This technology features a unique, highly engineered pattern of polymer dots that provide one of the most advanced, high traction walking surfaces in the industry, as well as a grip-enhancing surface on the backside. Their standard roofing underlayment can withstand up to six months of UV exposure and offers a limited lifetime warranty. It also meets Florida Building Code, AC188, listed with Texas Dept. Of Insurance and is Miami-Dade County approved.

Strength and durability 

If you need an underlayment that can perform in high temperatures, they have an option for that too. PALISADE SA-HT stays stable in temperatures of up to 250 degrees F and features patented STRONGHOLD Skid Resistant Technology®. This technology features a unique, highly engineered pattern of polymer dots that provide one of the most advanced, high traction walking surfaces in the industry Crews love both the self-adhered properties that help speed the installation and the sense of security that the strong surface grip provides while they are working on installing the rest of the roofing system. The SA-HT also meets Florida Building Code, has Miami-Dade County approval and meets ASTM D1970.
