Product Overview
- This product is water-resistant; it is NOT waterproof. It is intended as a secondary layer of water-shedding protection underneath the primary roof covering, such as asphalt shingles. Do NOT USE as a temporary roof or “dry-in” solution to protect property or possessions.
- Synthetic, non-woven construction provides at least 600% (i.e. 7-times) greater tear strength than standard #30 felt in addition to water resistance
- Helps remove nearly twice as much damaging moisture from your roof deck as the leading synthetic non-breathable underlayment
- Tiger paw roof deck protection resists wrinkling and buckling that can telegraph through your roof shingles and detract from its finished appearance
- Less chance of blow-off, up to 129% higher nail pull-through strength than #30 felt helps keep the product in place
- Safer for installers, specially designed surface helps provide excellent walkability for installers versus conventional felts or typical synthetic underlayment
- Deck-side coating, anti-skid back coating helps improve walkability, while also helping to keep the roll stationary during installation
- Stronger, synthetic, non-woven construction provides at least 600% (i.e. 7-times) greater tear strength than standard #30 felt
- Cooler to work with, light-grey surface is cooler in hot weather than conventional black felts
- Flexible application, recommended for use with asphaltic shingle roof systems, may also be used with non-asphaltic systems, such as slate, wood, metal, or tile
- Versatile, can withstand UV degradation for 180-days, if necessary

Questions & Answers
Tiger paw can be used on walls ?
Asked by Max December 14, 2020Hello Max, this product is designed as roofing underlayment. Alternate applications, such as your installation are not recommended. Thank you.
How thick is this? it says it is 5.4"
Asked by Mark July 22, 2020It's definitely not 5.4 inches; more like the thickness of a couple of 3 by 5 cards. I tried looking it up on the manufacturer's web site, they don't specify a thickness. FYI, I liked using this material; I definitely felt more secure working up on the roof of my shed with this material down.
Can I use this for a 3 tab shingle roof? Or only recommend for under metal roofs?? Thanks!
Asked by Reptar February 15, 2020Tiger Paw can be used under a 3-tab roofing shingle and is also good for under metal roofing. Thanks for your question.
Is it vapor permbable?
Asked by Monty October 8, 2018Monty, If you look @ the gaf website you will see mention of Tiger Paw product 'Moisture-Control Design" & it's ability to remove nearly twice as much moisture as the leading synthetic non-breathable underlayment. They don't really come out & say the material is breathable. However, they do have a product called Deck Armor, which they tout as a "Premium Breathable Roof Deck Protection"
Is Tiger Paw Roof Deck waterproof and how long should I expect it last?
Asked by Diego September 24, 2018Diego, From the manufacturer's web page on this product: "Tiger Paw™ Roof Deck Protection is water resistant, it is NOT WATERPROOF" This is an underlayment product. You have to install a real roof on top of it.
I'm confused. The spec sheet says each roll is 4' wide x 250' long which equals 1,000 SF, yet th...
Asked by Guy February 25, 2018It’s because you overlay by 50%. This way, except for the very bottom which is where you start, there will actually end up being two complete layers. It may be overkill as it is a very good product but I did as suggested and very satisfied with the results
Can I use this as a moisture barrier for a shed with a metal roof?
Asked by Jettster October 18, 2017The product description does mention metal roofs.
How thick is this underlayment. It is a bubble underlayment. Do u have bubble underlayment
Asked by rod August 2, 2017This is not a bubble underlayment. It is about as thick as #30 felt paper
Do you staple this down similar to black paper
Asked by Al April 30, 2017Yes
Does tiger paw underlayment go over or under ice dam products? If it goes over how much should it overlap?
Asked by razor1 October 14, 2016Since the ice dam is the first course of underlayment put on the roof, the tiger paw would be installed on top of it. The ice dam product I used, Grace 36" x 75 ft Ice & Water Shield, had marking on it to show how much of an overlap is required. See my picture
