Where to use

Under asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or cedar shingles: Tyvek Protec 160 is typically used as an underlayment in roofing applications, specifically under asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or cedar shingles. It is designed for use on sloped roofs, providing a slip-resistant surface for safer installation and acting as a water-resistant barrier to protect the roof deck from water infiltration.

Its durable, tear-resistant construction makes it suitable for both residential and commercial roofing projects.
