Learn why STRONGHOLD SkidResistant Technology® is what really sets PALISADE® underlayment apart from the competition.  

Slipping while on the roof, particularly steep-slope roofing, is always a serious safety challenge. Any underlayment product that can help improve safety while working on steep-slope roofs is of tremendous value to a roofer. That is what makes STRONGHOLD Skid Resistant Technology so important — it delivers improved safety and security to crews while providing exceptional waterproofing. 

This technology delivers an advanced steep-slope skid resistance by using a highly engineered raised surface profile pattern of soft and resilient rubberized polymer dots that act as grip/anchor points underneath roofing footwear. 

“We coat the back of the underlayment with a tacky surface that, whenever it's pressed up against the plywood, it creates a friction that will cause the back of the surface to grab to the OSB or plywood,” says PALISADE Sales Director Randy Knox, in an interview with RCS. “And on the top, we mechanically attach dots on the surface that give it the grip for the bottom of your shoes so that high-traction, combined with the pressure that you put on with the underlayment gripping of your shoes, you don't slip and slide.” 

This innovation is revolutionary, as it creates less of an opportunity for the underlayment to tear at the fastener head, which could create a long-term leak for the underlay. This technology features a unique, highly engineered pattern of polymer dots that provides one of the most advanced, high-traction walking surfaces in the industry.   

Crews love both the self-adhered properties that help speed up the installation and the sense of security that the strong surface grip provides while they are working on installing the roofing system. Safety is after all the number one concern in every roofing project, so go with the best skid-resistant surface synthetic roofing underlayment product in the marketplace today, choose PALISADE SA-HT with STRONGHOLD Skid Resistant Technology.
