Raising the bar for roofing innovation

By Eagle Roofing Products. 

This new roofing underlayment promises more than protection, it rewrites the rules. 

In an industry where change often comes in inches, not leaps, Eagle Roofing Products just dropped something that turns heads and flips expectations. Valor Thermal by Sol-R-Skin™ isn’t just another underlayment, it’s a full-scale reinvention of what lies beneath your roof. With fire resistance that borders on bulletproof and insulation performance that challenges traditional methods, this high-tech barrier is poised to make everything that came before it look obsolete. Builders are buzzing, code officials are taking notice and the stakes for roof performance just got a lot higher. 

At its core, Valor Thermal is designed with safety as its highest priority. The product carries a Class A fire rating and meets the rigorous E-108 testing standards under concrete and clay tile roofs. It also complies with CalFire, Miami-Dade NOA and Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) requirements, ensuring it performs in even the most demanding environments. With a melting point of 1200 °F and heat-sealing technology that produces a rigid, one-piece bond, it offers unmatched protection for homes in fire-prone regions. 

Equally impressive is the underlayment’s thermal performance. Valor Thermal combines high-performance insulation with premium weather protection, creating an advanced barrier against heat transfer. When installed beneath standard battens with concrete or clay tiles, it delivers an R-value of up to 5.6, effectively reducing attic heat gain and maintaining indoor comfort. Homeowners benefit from cooler living spaces, with attic temperatures dropping by as much as 55 °F, while also lowering energy costs and helping meet regional codes like California’s Title 24. 

Valor Thermal was also designed with installers in mind. Each roll measures 4.5 feet by 100 feet, covering four squares while remaining lightweight and easy to handle. A built-in anti-slip fiberglass scrim and white anti-glare surface enhance safety and visibility on the job, while the product’s exposure rating of up to 120 days provides flexibility during installation schedules. With UV and weather resistance and a 30-year limited warranty from IIP, LLC, Valor Thermal delivers durability and peace of mind long after the project is complete. 

Beyond performance and practicality, Valor Thermal represents a forward-thinking approach to roofing underlayment. It merges fire resistance, thermal efficiency and user-friendly design in one product that adapts to diverse climates, from icy northern winters to the hurricane-prone Southeast and fire-vulnerable Western states. By meeting and exceeding stringent industry standards, it sets a new bar for what an underlayment can and should achieve. 

In the end, Valor Thermal by Sol-R-Skin™ isn’t just another product on the market — it’s a game-changer for modern roofing systems. By delivering safety, efficiency and lasting performance, it empowers homeowners and professionals alike to build stronger, smarter and more sustainable roofs that are ready to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s demands.
