In some embodiments, the roofing system includes a deck, a roofing material, and an underlayment configured to be positioned between the roofing material and the deck. In some embodiments, the underlayment comprises a foil layer and an adhesive layer that is attached to the foil layer and configured to be attached to the deck. Methods of manufacturing roofing systems are also disclosed.

Claims (29)

1. A roofing system comprising:

a deck;

a roofing material; and

an underlayment between the roofing material and the deck, wherein the underlayment comprises:

a non-woven surface layer,

a first polymer layer,

a second polymer layer,

a foil layer,

a second adhesive layer,

wherein the first adhesive layer comprises an asphaltic adhesive or butyl adhesive,

wherein a top surface of the first adhesive layer contacts the foil layer,

wherein a bottom surface of the second adhesive layer contacts the foil layer,

wherein the first polymer layer is disposed above the second adhesive layer,

wherein the non-woven surface layer is disposed above the first polymer layer,

wherein the non-woven surface layer contacts the second polymer layer, and

wherein the roofing material contacts a top surface of the non-woven surface layer.

2. The roofing system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a reinforcement layer,

wherein the reinforcement layer contacts the first polymer layer and the second polymer layer.

3. The roofing system of claim 2 , wherein the reinforcement layer comprises a scrim layer.
