ES® Radiant Barrier Roof Underlayment: Advancing Roofing Performance and Protection

Introduction

ES® Blue Radiant Barrier Underlayment is a top choice for roofing underlayment due to its outstanding water-resistance and weather protection. Crafted from durable polymers, this synthetic woven underlayment offers unmatched strength and longevity. Its moisture-resistant nature, coupled with proper installation, ensures superior weather safeguarding compared to traditional felt underlayment.

There are five compelling reasons why roofers nationwide are increasingly turning to ES® Blue Radiant Barrier synthetic roof underlayment.

5 Characteristics of ES® Radiant Barrier Roof Underlayment

  1. Tough and Durable: ES® Blue Radiant Barrier stands out with its robust and resilient construction, showcasing significantly higher tear strength compared to felt underlayment. This exceptional durability prevents tearing and makes it suitable for prolonged exposure to UV rays and moisture. Its impressive “use after abuse” feature allows it to endure heavy boot traffic during installation without compromising its performance. This ensures the underlayment maintains its effectiveness even after facing challenging conditions.
  2. Quick and Efficient Installation: ES® Blue Radiant Barrier comes in longer rolls, providing more material per roll than felt underlayment. This means fewer trips up the ladder for roofers, making the installation process faster and more efficient. This efficiency saves time and expedites the roofing process. A typical 2500 square-foot home, requires only three rolls of synthetic underlayment. In comparison, this same home requires 14 rolls of No.30 felt to cover the same area. This significant difference in material requirement makes ES® Blue Radiant Barrier a more cost-effective and efficient choice for roofing projects.
  3. Enhanced Safety: Safety is a top priority, and ES® Blue Radiant Barrier ensures it. Deliberately designed for better “walkability”, the surface boasts a more slip-resistant texture, ensuring worker safety during installation.
  4. Water Repellent: Unlike felt products that absorb water, ES® Blue Radiant Barrier excels in repelling water. The exceptional water resistance is vital for homeowners concerned about moisture infiltration, particularly when the underlayment needs to remain exposed for an extended period. Additionally, its plastic composition makes it resistant to mold growth, offering an advantageous edge over traditional felt underlayment.
  5. Integrated Radiant Barrier Technology: ES® Blue Radiant Barrier goes beyond standard underlayment by integrating 95% reflectivity on one side. This Radiant Barrier technology not only enhances thermal resistance but also helps meet building code requirements, such as Title 24 in California.

Conclusion

In conclusion, ES® Blue Radiant Barrier Underlayment is a game-changer in roofing, providing many benefits compared to traditional felt underlayment. It is a durable and easy-to-install roofing underlayment that repels water and enhances safety. ES® Blue Radiant Barrier Underlayment is a preferred option for both roofers and homeowners due to its outstanding features.
