Tri-Flex® mechanically-attached roofing underlayment is a high performance water-shedding underlayment, designed to overcome the shortcomings of traditional roofing felt. It is stronger than #30 felt and withstands high wind conditions; it is lighter than #30 felt and covers more area. The product is mechani¬cally attached to the roof and can be used alone or in conjunction with self-adhered underlayments.

GCP roofing underlayment provides a stable base for the application of mechanically-attached roof coverings and serves as a secondary water shed to help prevent leaks if water penetrates the primary roof covering. The product may also be used to temporarily “dry in” the structure for a period of 6 months before the roof construction is finished or if the primary roof coverings become damaged.

GCP underlayment is suitable for application as part of all major roof systems.
