GAF-ELK Shingle-Mate®
Roof Deck Protection
Avoid A Buckled, Bumpy-Looking Roof With Superior Roof Deck Protection
Superior Quality Roof Deck Protection Can Protect And Beautify At The Same Time!
Quality roof deck protection (often referred to as “tar paper”
or “felt”) provides an extra layer of protection between your shingles and your roof deck. It helps prevent wind-driven rain (or water from other sources) from infiltrating under your shingles and causing damage to your roof structure or the inside of your home. It will also:
- Lay flatter and avoid “telegraphing” wrinkles
- Help allow shingles to lay flat and uniform
- Result in a better-looking roofing job
Shingle-Mate® roof deck protection is a key part of the
GAF-Elk Smart Choice® Roof System Solution, and has
even earned the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal.
Homeowner’s Best Choice
- Looks Better...
Fiberglass reinforced, so it lays flatter
for a better-looking roof.
- Lays Flatter...
Reduces the telegraphing of wrinkles
that can occur with conventional organic felts.
- Better Protection...
Eliminates the need to slit bubbled felt (which can compromise the waterproof integrity of your roofing system).
Professional’s Best Choice
- Avoid Downtime...
Dries faster and rolls out quicker than organic felts.
- Reduces Call-backs...
Due to elimination of bumpy-looking shingle jobs.
- Easier To Use...
Lighter and easier to handle than #30 felt.
- Versatile...
Can be applied over plywood, wood plank, and all other approved decks.
- Great Value...
Competitively priced with #30 felt on a per square basis.

See The Difference!
Conventional organic felts can absorb moisture,
causing severe buckling and wrinkling.
Shingle-Mate® roof deck protection resists
moisture, so it lays flatter!
