Deck-Armor™ Premium Breathable Roof Deck Protection

Protect Your Home With Premium "Breathable" Roof Deck Protection

Premium Roof Deck Protection should protect your home and reduce trapped moisture at the same time (amazingly, most so-called premium products do NOT!)

It provides a critical extra layer of protection between your shingles and your roof deck — to help prevent wind-driven rain (or water from other sources) from infiltrating under your shingles and causing damage to your roof structure or to the inside of your home. In addition, premium-quality roof deck protection will:


  • “Breathe”...

    To allow moisture from inside your attic to escape (to help prevent structural decay, mold, and mildew)

  • Provide Longer-Lasting Leak Protection...

    Than conventional “felts” (which can rot or become brittle before your shingles reach their useful life)

  • Lay Flatter...Good Housekeeping

    So your shingles will lay flat
    and uniform

Deck-Armor™ roof deck protection is a key part of the GAF Lifetime Roofing System, and has even earned the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal. (See Details)

 

The very best roofing systems require premium, breathable roof deck protection.

Deck-Armor™ Roof Deck Protection combines exceptional strength and superior breathability to help protect your home against roof rot and other costly damage!


  • Exceptionally Strong…

    At least 600% (i.e., 7 times) greater tear strength than standard #30 felt!

  • Revolutionary “Breathable” Technology…

    Helps prevent inside moisture from becoming trapped within your roofing system — and causing mold, mildew, and expensive structural damage

  • Premium Construction…

    Exceptionally durable, non-asphaltic construction will not rot or become brittle (unlike conventional asphalt felts, which can disintegrate over time)

  • Long-Lasting Protection…

    Up to a Lifetime ltd. warranty when installed on Lifetime Shingle roofs. (See Details)

  • Looks Better…

    Unlike conventional asphalt felts, resists wrinkling or buckling, so it lets your shingles lay flatter for a better-
    looking roof

  • Versatile…

    Can withstand UV degradation for 180 days when left exposed

Conventional organic felts can absorb moisture, causing severe buckling and wrinkling — and a terrible-looking roof

Professional Installers Love Deck-Armor™ Roof Deck Protection

The exceptional walkability of Deck-Armor™ Premium Breathable Roof Deck Protection keeps installers safer on the job!

Deck-Armor™ Premium Roof Deck Protection combines high tear resistance and nail pull-through with a special slip-resistant surface for exceptional walkability — even on steeper pitches!

Installers’ Best Choice

  • Safer…

    Special slip-resistant surface provides enhanced walkability, even on steeper-pitched roofs

  • Resists Wrinkling…

    Unlike conventional organic felts, can be left exposed without wrinkling — and it will still remain flat

  • Light Weight…

    At 37 lbs. per roll, it’s nearly 1/3 the weight of a roll of #30 felt

  • Wide Rolls Install Faster…

    10-square, 54" wide rolls install 50% faster than conventional felts

  • Cooler To Work With…

    Light blue surface is cooler in hot weather than conventional black felts

  • Easier To Cut…

    Spun-bound design is easier to cut than some other synthetic products

  • Durable…

    Withstands UV degradation for 180 days, if necessary.

  • Avoids Downtime…

    Will not become rigid in extreme cold weather or sticky in hot weather

  • Versatile…

    Recommended for use with asphaltic shingle roofing systems. May also be used with certain non-asphaltic roofing systems, such as metal, tile wood, and slate (See Details)
