Elephant Skin Testing

Warrior Roofing Manufacturing, Inc. continually tests its products to ensure the best quality and performance possible. The following series of videos represent ongoing internal traction testing of Warrior’s Elephant Skin synthetic roofing underlayment versus competitor’s synthetic roofing underlayment. The testing board is set at a 40 degree angle or 10:12 roof slope to simulate a steeply pitched roof.  These traction tests were performed under both dry and wet conditions. To test the traction of these products under wet conditions, a simple water-filled spray bottle was used and water was sprayed on the surface of the products being tested simulating conditions following heavy dew or rain.

The comments and opinions expressed during these tests are strictly those of the Warrior employee performing the test. These videos are provided for information purposes only and are not to be altered, transmitted to, copied or distributed to any third party without the prior express written permission of Warrior Roofing Manufacturing, Inc.
