Roofing Felt
Welcome to the Roofing Felt category on Build4Less, where you will find a comprehensive range of roofing felt products suited for various applications and projects. Roofing felt is an essential material in the construction and repair of roofs, providing an extra layer of protection against the elements. Here, we explore the different types of roofing felt available, their practical uses, and guidance on selecting the appropriate type for your needs.
Types of Roofing Felt
Torch-On Roofing Felts
Our collection includes various Torch-On felts like the Danosa and FIX-R SBS Underlays and Cap Sheets. These are typically used in flat roofing and require a torch to melt the bitumen, allowing it to bond securely to the roof surface. Torch-On felts are popular for their durability and effective waterproofing qualities.
Cap Sheets and Underlays
Cap Sheets such as the FIX-R Classic and IKO Britorch Non-Woven varieties provide the top layer of protection, offering additional UV resistance and waterproofing. Underlays, including the universal types from FIX-R and IKO, are used beneath the cap sheet to provide an extra layer of waterproofing and insulation.
Specialty Roofing Felts
We also offer specialised products like the IKO Adesso and Polyester Torch-On Cap Sheets, designed for specific applications such as higher durability or adaptability to various roof types. These products are perfect for when a custom or enhanced solution is required.
Practical Uses
Roofing felt is used across a variety of roofing projects:
- Flat Roofs: Commonly used in flat roof construction and repair, providing a waterproof layer.
- Pitched Roofs: Acts as an additional barrier against moisture and improves roof longevity.
Sheds and Non-Residential Buildings: Ideal for protecting less inhabited structures from weathering and leaks.
Choosing the Right Roofing Felt
When selecting roofing felt, consider the following:
- Roof Type: Ensure the product is suitable for the specific type and shape of your roof.
- Durability Needs: Look for higher grade materials if the roof will be exposed to harsh weather conditions.
- Installation Method: Choose between torch-on, self-adhesive, or other types based on your installation preference and skill level.
