Traditional Felt Roofing Explained:
Many flat roofs were covered with standard felts throughout the 1970s and 1980s due to a high increase of new build extensions and dwellings with flat roof garages etc. A typical felt roof construction would consist of 3 layers of standard felt (usually a 3B type) and a standard mineral felt to the perimeter edges (usually a 1E type). The majority of these roofs were covered with limestone chippings to protect the felt against Ultra Violet Light. A typical guarantee for these felt roof constructions would have been in the region of 4 years and the life expectancy of a standard felt roof was in region of 10 years.
What is High Performance Felt?
High Performance Felt is a waterproofing membrane constructed from modified bitumen and high tensile polyester or fibreglass strengthening layers. High Performance Felt Roofing membranes are very flexible making them very difficult to tear. Roofing Felt has been vastly developed over the years and has become very reliable making it an ideal choice for your next flat roofing project.
