UV exposure and resistance of underlayment
Anywhere the underlayment is exposed directly to sunlight, UV radiation will accelerate its deterioration. Even though an underlayment can serve as a temporary, short-term roof cover, it’s necessary to install shingles over this underlayment within 2 or 3 weeks. UV radiation can make the polypropylene fabric peel off first; however the bitumen part will still be watertight. Anyhow aesthetically it doesn’t look good. So installing the shingles as soon as possible is highly recommended.
<<< Failure regarding of UV exposure
Remember:
The underlayment is a key component of the roofing system. The price difference between underlayment options usually adds up to a few hundred euros in your overall roof replacement project. If you are investing in high quality IKO shingles that will improve your home’s value for years to come, choosing a better quality, more durable, water-resistant underlayment is well worth the extra cost. That is why IKO the professional range of Armourbase underlayments is highly recommended.
