Surround® SR Roof Underlayment

This waterproof, slip-resistant, synthetic polymer material creates an effective water barrier on decks that greatly reduces the incidence of leaks. Surround SR Underlayment provides an impenetrable first line of defense during construction with strength and tear resistance that stand up to high winds and weather. Each lightweight roll covers more roof area, making it easier and faster to install than 30-pound felt. And it's backed by the manufacturers of proven TYPAR® weather-resistant barriers.
