What You Should Know About Tile Roof Underlayment If You Live in AZ

/in /by

The temperatures in Arizona go well beyond 100° F during the summer. You need a sturdy roof to keep out the sun and help maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

Your roof is directly exposed to the sun’s heat, and it keeps you safe from the solar radiation. However, if the roof is made from low-quality materials, it won’t withstand the heat for long. It will deteriorate and suffer damage in the long run.

A reliable tile roof can withstand the high temperature for decades and at the same time, there is often a misunderstanding about life expectancy of tile roofs. Most people forget that tiles last longer than the underlayment, so although your tiles may have many more years of life, the underlayment may need to be replaced to provide proper protection from the elements.

The best roof is one which has quality materials, especially the underlayment. Keep reading to learn more about tile roof underlayment, what it is, and why you should use it for your roof.
