Why Choose Felt and Fibreglass Roofing?
Felt roofing, often known as built-up felt roofing, has been a popular choice for flat roofs for decades, and for good reason. It involves applying multiple layers of high-performance felt, bonded together with heated bitumen, to create an impermeable, watertight barrier. Modern advancements have led to the development of fibreglass-reinforced felt, which adds superior strength and flexibility to this already reliable system.
Here’s why it’s a fantastic choice for your property:
- Exceptional Durability: Modern felt systems are engineered to withstand the harsh British weather, from driving rain to intense sun. They are highly resistant to tearing and punctures.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to many other flat roofing systems, felt and fibreglass felt roofing offers an excellent balance of performance and affordability, both in terms of installation and long-term value.
- Versatile Application: This system is suitable for a wide range of structures, including garage roofs, extensions, porches, commercial buildings, and dormer windows.
- Proven Reliability: As a time-tested method, its effectiveness has been proven over many years, giving you confidence in its ability to protect your property.
- Excellent Insulation Properties: When installed as part of a warm roof system, it can significantly improve the thermal efficiency of your building, helping to lower your energy bills.
