Shingles or tile are the primary  protection against the exterior environment on a roof installation, underlayment’s of EcoPro  play a critical role by providing a secondary level of protection for heat and water conditions. EcoPro works as a crucial barrier that contributes to the performance and longevity of the entire roof system. The right underlayment for your roof and your particular climate.

The roof deck should be sound and level before laying the EcoPro underlayment. There are several good reasons to install EcoPro underlayment:
• EcoPro protects the roof deck from rain before the roofing is installed.
• EcoPro provides an extra weather barrier in case of water penetration through the roofing or flashings.
• EcoPro protects the roofing from any resins that bleed out of the sheathing.
• EcoPro helps prevent unevenness in the roof sheathing from telegraphing through the shingles.
• EcoPro is usually required for the UL fire rating to apply (since shingles are usually tested with underlayment).

Having vision for the future Mr Satyanarayana eying to the African market for their products, EcoPro boards are useful for dry wall, false ceiling, roof underlay, furniture, façade and many other daily needs.
