Method of installing a wind-resistant roof underlayment

A method of installing a wind-resistant roof underlayment, the method comprising:

• providing a wind-resistant roof underlayment having:
• a lower layer including an adhesive element disposed continuously along a length of the wind-resistant roof underlayment and a release liner covering the lower layer;
• and
• an upper layer including:
• a first section having a width of approximately three inches and a second section having a width of at least eight inches, the second section having a release liner covering the second section;
• a partition separating the first section and the second section;
• and
• an adhesive element coupled to the second section and disposed continuously along the length of the wind-resistant roof underlayment;
• coupling the lower layer to a roof deck at an eave of the roof deck;
• removing the release liner from the second section;
• and
• coupling a plurality of shingles to the second section.

A method of installing a roof underlayment, the method comprising:

• providing a wind-resistant roof underlayment having:
• a lower surface including a lower surface adhesive and a lower surface release liner coupled to the adhesive;
• an upper surface including:
• a first edge and a second edge, the first edge and the second edge separated by a width;
• a first portion having a first width and a second portion having a second width, larger than the first width, a release liner portion covering the second portion and disposed in an overlapping relationship with an upper surface adhesive medium coupled to the upper surface;
• removing the lower surface release liner;
• coupling the lower surface of the wind-resistant roof underlayment directly to a roof deck, with the first edge of the upper surface at a position substantially adjacent to an eave of a roof deck;
• removing the release liner portion, thereby exposing an adhesive strip of the upper surface adhesive medium;
• and
• coupling a plurality of shingles to the adhesive strip of the upper surface adhesive medium.
