Chesterfelt Welsh Slate Grey Roll On Shed Felt Roofing Square Shingles 1 Roll Kit with Ridge Roll & Adhesive

Product Information

The bottom edge of each should just overlap the top of the cutouts in the shingles beneath it. For square butt shingles, there should be about 145mm of each tab exposed. Or if you’re using fish-scale shingles, leave 135mm.

Then fit your shingle underlay onto the exposed roof. Ensure that your underlay extends beyond the edges of the roof by around 50mm. The underlay will be applied in strips, with each strip overlapping the previous one by at least 75mm. Then turn down the edges and nail it at 500mm centres. Preparing The Roof For Felt ShinglesFor maximum life, most manufacturers recommend the use of an underlay - our felt shingle underlay is the perfect partner for these Supaflex Felt Roof Shingles. Once you have added the shingles to both slopes of your roof, you should be ready to apply to ridge detail. For this task, you can use traditional shingles cut to shape or a shingle ridge roll. Felt Roof Ridge Although single layer felt roofs are available, felt roofing generally uses two or three sheets of modified bitumen felts. This is especially the case for roofs with a pitch below 10°. A three layer system is widely used as it increases the durability of the roof and its resistance to UV radiation.

Hammered-down rolled roofing should not be used on flat roofs as this could lead to leaks. Pros of Rolled Roofing Single and built-up felt roofing systems can be specified for new projects. They are also ideally suited for refurbishment and repairs as the cap sheet can be overlayed onto the existing roof covering. Roofing felts can also be used as temporary waterproofing. What are the benefits of felt roofing? Before beginning to felt a flat roof, it is important to ensure the roof is stable and able to withstand the weight of someone standing on it. If there are any rotten pieces of timber, these should be replaced before work can begin. Any old or pre-existing flat roof felt should also be removed at this point. 2. Calculate the amount of felt required Next, lay the second layer of felt on the roof. Ensure any joins on the first layer are overlapped, and any air bubbles have been smoothed out, and then nail it down as before. 8. Spread adhesive The next step is to begin fixing the felt to your roof. Use galvanised clout nails to nail the first sheet of felt onto the roof. We’d recommend nailing from the centre of the edge of the sheet and working outwards. Leave about 5cm between each nail, and ensure the sheet is pulled tight and sitting in line with the roof. 5. Add more felt if required

Benefits of Felt Roofing Shingles Roofing felt is used to achieve a waterproof and durable finish on top of shed roofs, garden building roofs and outhouses. Available as torch-on bitumen felt or self-adhesive bitumen felt, leading manufacturers such as IKO and Icopal make up our range of roofing felt so you can be sure no matter which product you choose that your roofing felt will be of the highest quality.

Each tile has a bitumen strip which melts in the heat of the sun securing your shingles. As an option we offer felt shingle glue and this is also recommended by IKO. We recommend bitumen glue is at least used on the ridge tiles and the first leading edge roof tiles.We recommend shingle glue is used especially in the colder months as it takes longer for the bitumen glue to melt. Shingle glue is also highly recommended in very exposed locations. Continue this process until one side of the shed has been completed, and then repeat on the other side. 7. Add a capping sheetFelt roof repair is relatively easy. The material can simply be patched up if there is a tear or hole in the roof, unlike other roof materials that can have a much more complex and time-consuming repair process. Budget-friendly

Access to your shed roof is needed to carry out the waterproofing. You’ll need a good ladder or a tall step ladder. Be sure the roof is strong enough to work off when you’re cutting the roofing materials. Think safety first. Bitumen felt shingles are manufactured by pressing granules into a glass fibre bitumen felt strip. These strips feature designs like ‘ square butt’, which is a simple square pattern on the finished roof, or ‘ hexagonal’ which offers more contemporary hexagonal finishes. You’re also able to find ‘ half round’ style bitumen felt shingles which are the most traditional types of shingles that give a scalloped look. Felt is an extremely lightweight material, which means it can be used on a number of weaker and less structurally sound buildings, such as garden sheds and outbuildings without any concerns that it will be too heavy. Easy to install Rolled roofing will not make your structure any more attractive. It is generally considered a less attractive roofing material than shingles or other types of roofing systems.Homeowner's associations in gated communities may not allow the installation of any structure with rolled roofing, even outbuildings. Another benefit of using felt on a roof is that it is relatively inexpensive, whilst still providing a good and durable roofing surface. This is why it is perfect for low-scale and relatively low-budget projects, to create a functional yet low-cost roof.Lay the first length of the shed roof felt across the bottom part of the shed roof, ensuring the overhang is there, before nailing the top edge of the felt with galvanised nails. Try to achieve an even gap of around 50cm between each nail. Then fold the edges of the felt around the edges of the roof and nail them into place. 4. Lay the second piece of felt To seal joints and openings apply a bead of lap mastic around the perimeter edges of overlap sections. On the last cover strip, apply an extra bead to ensure a secure bond.
