About This Product

Superior-quality roof deck protection should protect your home by providing a critical extra layer of protection between your shingles and your roof deck. GAF Tiger Paw Roof Deck Protection helps prevent wind-driven rain (or water from other sources) from infiltrating under your shingles and causing damage to your roof structure, or to the inside of your home. Easy to walk on when installing.

  • 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
  • Moisture-control design- moisture-control design helps reduce damaging moisture on the roof deck unlike typical, synthetic, non-breathable underlayments

Questions & Answers

Is it compatible with metal roofs?
ByJul 22, 2026

Answer This Question

Hello, for under metal, we would recommend GAF Tiger Paw or Deck-Armor Underlayment. Also, GAF StormGuard Leak Barrier, which is a peel and stick underlayment, can be used under metal. Thank you!

    Answer This Question

    Hello, please contact GAF Technical Services at 1-800-ROOF-411 for further details on your question. Synthetic underlayment products, unlike asphaltic membranes, are typically not measured in "mils" per se. Our technical services group should be able to provide the needed information. Thank you.

      Can you install this on a 3/12 roof under asphalt shingles?
      ByMar 12, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Yes, you can install Tiger Paw™ Synthetic Underlayment on a 3/12 roof pitch under asphalt shingles, but the installation method is different than on a standard steep roof. On a 3/12 slope (which is considered a "low slope" between 2/12 and 4:12), GAF and most building codes require double coverage to prevent leaks from wind-driven rain or ice dams

            Thank you for the inquiry. Each roll is 1000 sq feet - or 10 squares. You would need 3 rolls to cover your 22 square job.

                  This is an excellent product. I just roofed 16 squares with this (my first major roofing project). TigerPaw is super tough, yet easy to cut and work with. I highly recommend this underlayment. One thing to mention is that you should use cap nails per GAFs recommendation.

                  I built a 30X15 dog kennel and used Tiger Paw as the underlayment. This stuff rolled on nicely, no issues and the traction I had while walking on it was incredible. I know for me, sure footing is key while walking on a roof and this stuff delivered. The pricing for the square footage it covers is incredible. High recommend.

                  I really like this product. It was easier to install than tar paper since it is just about impossible to tear. It also provides a better work surface, like the name implies.
