Rubber roof as well as other single ply membranes are just that - single ply, meaning there is no other "component" of the roof systems to create second layer. There is usually insulation or a slip-sheet to separate the membrane from the substrate. As far as covering the roof overnight - you are completely right. Yet, sometimes there is no other option but tarps. It all of course depends on the roof and the crew installing it. I’m honestly not sure what you mean when you mention underlayment.

But roofers need to make sure they can get the new membrane roofing underlayment installed before they leave the jobsite for the day. Covering the unfinished work with a tarp is dangerous as the tarp can blow off in an overnight rainstorm.I am very thankful to you for giving me this information .
