Synthetic Guard Plus is unique to TAMKO as an underlayment made of plastic fibers, spun bonded to make non-woven mat, and printed with lay lines and cap nail locations for additional ease of installation. It also has cap nail locations for high wind and Florida applications.

Printing of contractors’ one-, two- or three-color company logo and phone number directly on the fabric of Synthetic Guard Plus Underlayment is available for an additional charge through TAMKO’s custom logo print program.
