Tile Roof Underlayment Options & Materials
Tile roofs can be installed with several different types of underlayment, and choosing the right underlayment material determines how long your existing roof will stay watertight. Arizona’s extreme weather means not every product is suited for long-term performance.
The Underlayment Materials We Install
• Synthetic Underlayment (Recommended)
Engineered for Arizona roofing conditions, synthetic underlayment offers long-term durability, better heat resistance, and superior water protection compared to traditional felt.
• Traditional Felt Underlayment (Limited Use)
Sometimes used beneath older clay or concrete roofs, though its lifespan is shorter under high heat and UV exposure.
• High-Temp Underlayment for Specific Roof Types
For certain clay and concrete tile systems, high-temp materials provide added protection.
Designed for All Tile Roof Types
We replace underlayment beneath all types of tiles, including:
- Concrete tiles
- Clay tiles
- Sand-cast tile roofs
- S-tile and flat tile profiles
- Shingle-style tile systems
- Tile/shingle roof combinations
Each roofing system requires a specific installation method to ensure proper ventilation, drainage, and tile alignment.
