RF Roofing Underlayment – Product Types
The RF Roofing Underlayment Series contains a wide range of products at various weights. The most commonly used products are the RF3 and RF9. Both of these products provide separation between the ballast and the roofing membrane, thus preventing damage to the membrane. However, the RF9 is a heavier weight (9oz rather than 3 oz), and it is therefore better suited for project requiring a heavy-duty material.
Below is a complete list of the RF Roofing Underlayment geotextile products:
- RF3 (3 oz weight material)
- RF4 (4.5 oz weight material)
- RF6 (6 oz weight material)
- RF9 (9 oz weight material)
