There are several benefits offered by asphalt-saturated felt underlayment, such as low-cost as compared to synthetic underlayment and ease of installation, which makes it ideal in residential and commercial construction. The asphalt-saturated felt underlayment enables to protect the sheathing from the absorption of the moisture until other roof covering or shingles can be installed. It offers additional weather protection by preventing the entrance of wind-driven rain below the shingles into the structure and as well improve the fire resistance of the roof. Due to such factors, the demand for asphalt-saturated felts is increasing among consumers.

The demand for asphalt-saturated felts is increasing as many home builders and roofing contractors use the asphaltic underlay owing to the low cost that attribute towards the growth of the global roofing underlay market. Asphalt-saturated felts that conform to ASTM D226 Type II and ASTM D4869 Type IV are stronger than their lighter-weight counterparts. This can be seen with increased tensile strength. Thus, the heavier asphalt-saturated felts have a significant resistance against tearing, wrinkling, and water absorption. The heavier asphalt-saturated felts have been found better in performance than lighter-weight saturated felts. The heavy asphalt-saturated felts are being significantly used in residential construction projects.

The asphalt-saturated felt is the most common product which is available in two thicknesses such as fifteen-pound and thirty-pound. Fifteen-pound felt underlayment can rise in the high-humidity condition. Thirty-pound felt is thicker than the fifteen-pound that is more resistant to damage during the process of the installation and enables to protect the roof longer from wind, rain, or snow. The asphalt-saturated felt became the popular choice among the consumers and the most common underlayment that is used by residential roofers. This, in turn, is supporting to drive the demand for asphalt-saturated felt underlayment and thereby boosting the global roofing underlayment market.
