What Is Roofing Felt in Kent?
At DK Roofing & Building Limited, we often get asked about roofing felt, a crucial component in flat roofing systems. In this article, we will explore what roofing felt is, its uses, and the options available in Kent.
What is Roofing Felt?
Roofing felt, also known as underlayment or felt paper, is a type of material used to provide an extra layer of protection to flat roofs. It is typically made from a combination of asphalt, bitumen, and other materials, which are then applied to a base material, such as a polyester or fiberglass mat. The felt is then coated with a layer of aggregate, such as sand or gravel, to provide additional durability.
Types of Roofing Felt
There are several types of roofing felt available, including:
- Torchon Felt: A high-quality, heavy-duty felt that is ideal for flat roofs.
- Alsand Felt: A more budget-friendly option that is still durable and effective.
Uses of Roofing Felt
Roofing felt is commonly used in flat roofing systems, including:
- Flat Roofs: Felt is used to provide an extra layer of protection against the elements.
