Translucent material offers tear resistance and enables contractors to see studs, nails, and windows on home's frame. Employing asphalt with nonwoven polyester reinforcement, DuraBase(TM) underlayment provides puncture resistance and waterproofing as it seals around nails. It can be exposed to sun for 6 months without performance deterioration."
