About Opus Roof Blanket
Opus Roof Blanket is a new category of roofing underlayment that can be used in place of felt paper and plastic sheeting underlayment under all types of steep-slope roofing materials. Designed with the roofing contractor in mind, Opus is the very best in the industry for worker safety. In fact, Opus offers the best walking traction of any underlayment, wet or dry. Utilizing technology never before seen in roof underlayment, Opus’s one-of-a-kind surface area makes it easy for roofers to snap a chalk line and write on, and its tan color keeps roofs cool on even the hottest days. These benefits and more make Opus Roof Blanket the ideal solution for builders, roofing contractors and professional installers.
