Get a grip on safety and performance

Get a grip on safety and performance

Work faster and safer while providing homeowners with stronger protection when you use this APOC underlayment. 

In roofing, every layer matters. Underlayment is not only a secondary barrier against the elements, but it’s also a safety tool, a time-saver and a long-term investment in the integrity of the roofing system. The TUFF-GRIP™ synthetic underlayment from APOC delivers real value while you’re on the job and exceptional protection for your customers long after you’ve left. 

Designed with APOC’s proprietary TUFF-GRIP Coating Technology, this underlayment grips the roof deck before a single fastener is applied. On steep or damp roofs, this gives you a crucial layer of stability that helps prevent slips and improves walkability. You can also trust that the underlayment will hold in place during installation, reducing the risk of accidents while saving time. 

Built to withstand the elements 

TUFF-GRIP underlayments are manufactured from UV-stabilized polypropylene, providing a secondary defense against moisture, wind-driven rain and other destructive elements to strengthen the entire roof system. With resistance to tears, punctures and stretching, these underlayments hold up against the harshest conditions. 

They can even be exposed to direct UV sunlight for up to 90 days without degrading. This improves your flexibility for projects that face delays or have extended construction schedules. 

Lightweight, flexible and efficient application 

Despite their toughness, TUFF-GRIP underlayments are lightweight and easy to handle. Available in a wider 48” roll, they cover more roof with fewer seams, improving installation efficiency. They’re also engineered for all-weather flexibility, performing reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 240°F. 

This versatile solution is designed for use under: 

  • Asphalt and fiberglass shingles 
  • Cedar shake 
  • Stone-coated steel shingles 
  • Synthetic slate 
  • Sloped installations of standing seam metal panels 

You can also assure homeowners that their roofs are protected long after the project is complete. TUFF-GRIP 15 comes backed with a 20-year limited warranty, while TUFF-GRIP 30 extends coverage to 30 years. 

When safety, speed and durability are non-negotiable, APOC TUFF-GRIP underlayment ensures you can get the job done right.
