Watertight Underlayments Are Key to a High-performing Roof

By Cass Jacoby.  

Polyglass’ Polystick® waterproofing underlayment systems offer you peace of mind that your roof is watertight. 

Fundamentally, tile roofs are designed to provide you with the highest level of weather protection. While the tile design is certainly important, waterproofing is equally if not more crucial to delivering protection to your home. Waterproofing is what protects your home from the elements, including high temperatures, high winds and high moisture. 

The tile is important, but what is beneath the tile will deliver a high-performing roof. Installing high-performance tile on a bad underlayment is like building a house on a cracked foundation. The underlayment must provide watertight protection, withstand extreme weather conditions, and of course, meet code requirements.  

Manufactured by Polyglass U.S.A., Polystick underlayment systems are reinforced with a high-strength fiberglass mat. The top consists of a high-temperature, weather surface, and an aggressive adhesive compound on the bottom. The Polystick® self-adhered underlayment is manufactured with ADESO®, a patented, dual-compound, self-adhesive technology, meaning Polystick roof underlayments provide your home with the most advanced and time-tested roofing technology.  

Thanks to enhanced lap sealing, the dual-compound self-adhered underlayment offer unmatched waterproofing. The product is independently tested and approved, meeting or exceeding a wide range of industry code approvals, including: 

• ASTM 

• UL Classified 

• ICC-ES 

• Miami Dade County Approved 

• Florida Building Code 

• Texas Department of Insurance 

Since the product is so easy to install, it offers cost-efficient installations that minimize torching, dangerous fumes and time-consuming applications to keep you safe. Polyglass offers warranty programs that provide extended protection, assuring the optimum system performance is guaranteed and safeguarding your assets after the installation. 

Currently protecting over four billion square feet of dried in homes, Polystick provides watertight protection, long-term performance, and ultimately, peace of mind.
