Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Synthetic underlayment for asphalt shingle installations
Spun-bonded polypropylene underlayments absorb chalk, create static cling, and slow down shingle placement. Arkint Armour's woven surface eliminates these problems — letting you snap clean chalk lines and place shingles precisely, every time.
How the right underlayment speeds up shingle installations
A typical 25-square residential roof has approximately 1,600 shingles. When each shingle fights static cling from a spun-bonded surface, the time lost adds up quickly. The fibrous texture of cheaper underlayments also absorbs chalk, reducing the number of clean chalk lines you can snap from a single reel.
Arkint Armour's coated woven surface eliminates static cling entirely. Shingles can be positioned precisely on the first placement. The non-absorbent surface preserves chalk, allowing three or more times the lines per reel compared to spun-bonded alternatives.
Advantages for shingle roofing crews
- Zero static cling — shingles slide into position cleanly without sticking to the underlayment surface.
- Chalk-friendly surface — snap more chalk lines per reel for straighter, more consistent coursing.
- Walkable grip surface — dimensional nodular traction keeps the crew moving safely, even with morning dew or frost.
- 180-day UV exposure — dry in early and stage the deck for weeks or months before shingling.
