When Should You Consider Refelting Your Tile Roof?
Roof Age: If your tile roof has surpassed 20 years, it may be prudent to contemplate refelting. The underlayment can degrade over time, diminishing its functionality. In Scottsdale, where summer heat and monsoon rains can be detrimental, unanchored tiles or cracking can harm your underlayment.
Water Leaks: The appearance of leaks within your home could be attributed to a deteriorating underlayment. Tile refelt is crucial to mitigating potential water damage.
Higher Energy Costs: If you experience an unexpected spike in your energy bills, it may signify insufficient insulation due to worn underlayment, which necessitates refelting.
Ceiling Stains: Discoloration or water stains on your ceilings often suggest that the underlayment is failing and in need of replacement.
Mold and Mildew: Finding mold or mildew in your attic or near roofing structures may point to moisture entering your home as a result of compromised underlayment.
Tile Deformation: Observing tiles that are curling or buckling may indicate that the underlayment is no longer providing adequate support.
Flashing Issues: Deterioration of flashing around chimneys, vents, or valleys can lead to problems with the underlayment. If the flashing is damaged, it indicates that the underlayment may also require attention.
Professional Review Advised: Should you notice any of these symptoms, it is wise to consult a roofing expert for a comprehensive evaluation and potential replacement of the underlayment.
Understanding Underlayment for Tile Roofs
Underlayment is a critical protective layer situated between the roof’s structural components, typically plywood or oriented strand board (OSB), and the outer layer of roofing tiles. This essential layer serves as a water-resistant barrier, protecting the roof from possible water infiltration, especially in cases where the tiles might be cracked or compromised.
Types of Underlayment
Underlayment can be categorized into two primary types: asphalt felt and synthetic. This shielding layer acts as a barrier between the wood sheathing and the tile, effectively obstructing heat, UV rays, moisture, and mold.
Our services are suitable for a broad spectrum of housing types, including single-family homes, tract developments, and large-scale projects, as well as custom constructions that incorporate solar panels – we are prepared to meet your requirements.
Considerations Regarding Weather Conditions and Climate
In areas characterized by moderate or mild climates, asphalt felt may suffice as an adequate means of protection between the roofing tiles and the underlying deck. In contrast, regions that experience extreme weather—including intense heat, storms, hail, and snow—derive significant benefits from synthetic underlayment, which provides enhanced protection in situations where roof tiles may be damaged.
Budget Considerations
Financial constraints often play a significant role in any home improvement endeavor. While asphalt felt typically presents a more economical choice compared to synthetic counterparts, it does not offer the same level of protection should the roof tiles become compromised. Investing in synthetic underlayment, despite a higher initial expenditure, could ultimately minimize long-term repair costs due to its superior protective attributes.
Tile refelt is a critical service with both immediate and prolonged implications. To save yourself from the burdens of time, stress, and financial strain, it is advisable to entrust Advanced Roofing, LLC. with the process and to select the most suitable materials for your tile roof.
Underlayment: Initial Line of Defense
The underlayment acts as the essential protective layer between the wood sheathing and tile. It protects against heat, UV rays, moisture, and mold. Most homeowners typically utilize a 15-lb felt underlayment above the sheathing—consider this as a thick protective layer for the structural components of your home. We upgrade our customers to a standard 25-lb synthetic Titanium UDL underlayment (Titanium UDL25) or Boral TileSeal HT.
Titanium UDL Synthetic Underlayment
Titanium UDL25 is an expertly engineered synthetic underlayment designed to replace traditional felt. Being synthetic, it is impervious to water, making it completely resistant to mold. It is 14 times stronger than 30-lb felt and effectively reduces attic temperatures by 5-10 degrees.
Boral TileSeal HT Underlayment
Boral’s premier roof underlayment, TileSeal HT, provides strong, stable protection even under extreme temperatures. It is UV resistant and offers durable safeguarding throughout all seasons, complete with a 30-year limited warranty ensuring reliable performance under any roofing material.
Arched Battens: A Ventilated Roof System
Eagle Roofing’s Arched Battens represent an innovative ventilation system for tile roofs, enhancing airflow beneath your roof tiles. Made from graded lumber and treated with borax to deter pests, these battens deliver superior strength and durability, as opposed to plastic alternatives.
By implementing Arched Battens, we can prolong the lifespan of the Titanium UDL25 underlayment through improved moisture management and air drainage. This proactive measure helps mitigate damage caused by the elements, ensuring optimal airflow.

When replacing a roof, consider the existing roofing material, building structure, and budget. Consult with a roofing contractor to determine the most suitable replacement option, such as shingle, tile, TPO, EPDM, polyurethan foam or modified bitumen, etc. Proper installation and adherence to building codes are crucial to ensure the longevity and performance of the new roof. The selection of appropriate roofing materials, such as polyurethane foam, TPO, rubber, modified bitumen, or metal, depends on factors such as durability, energy efficiency, and budget.
