TAMKO Introduces Peel-N-Stick Felt Underlayment

JOPLIN, Mo. – January 19, 2010 – The foundation for every great roof is a properly installed underlayment and with TAMKO^® Building Products, Inc.'s newest product, the job just got easier.

TAMKO's new Peel‐N‐Stick Felt is the industry's first and only saturated felt underlayment with a release film backing that can be peeled off and the underlayment applied directly to the roof deck. No cap nails or staples are needed to install the Peel‐N‐Stick Felt.

"This provides unmatched installation ease of underlayment," said Stephen McNally, vice president of sales/marketing. "It's just one more way that TAMKO is improving the industry and making things easier for contractors and homeowners."

The new Peel‐N‐Stick Felt will be available nationwide, except for the state of Florida, starting the first quarter of 2010. For more information on Peel‐N‐Stick Felt, visit www.tamko.com.
