About Tiger Paw™ Premium Roof Deck Protection

Conventional organic felts can absorb moisture, causing buckling and wrinkling that can impact the look of your roof. Tiger Paw™ Premium Roof Deck Protection combines strength and long-term durability to help protect your home against wind-driven rain.

Tiger Paw™ Premium Roof Deck Protection is a key part of the GAF Lifetime Roofing System2 and has earned the Good Housekeeping Seal.3 

  • Better-Looking Roof:   Resists wrinkling and buckling that can “telegraph” through your roof shingles and detract from its finished appearance.
  • Safer for Installers:  Specially designed surface helps provide excellent walkability for installers versus conventional felts or typical synthetic underlayments.
  • Stronger:  Synthetic, non-woven construction provides at least 600% (i.e. 7 times) greater tear strength than standard #30 felt.4
  • Durable construction:  Non-asphaltic, polypropylene construction will not rot or become brittle - unlike conventional felts, which can disintegrate over time.
  • Flexible Application:  Recommended for use with asphaltic shingle roof systems.  May also be used with non-asphaltic systems, such as slate, wood, metal, or tile.5
  • UV Stabilized Polypropylene Construction:  Resists UV degradation for up to 180 days.6
