Felt roofing consists of multiple layers of felt sheet which combine to create a barrier from the outside world. In order to make it waterproof, we coat it with bitumen tar which seals the roof and makes it hard wearing in the elements. This type of roofing is most commonly found on flat roofs, but you can also find it on pitched shed roofs too, for example. Older examples did not have a great reputation as they would often crack and leak, but modern felt roofing is completely different. It is reliable and durable and can prove a fantastic solution for covering your flat roof.
There are many great advantages of felt roofing:
To maintain a felt roof and keep it in great condition, you should check it regularly. Inspect it at least once in spring and once in autumn. In addition, check it after a storm, heavy snowfall or high winds. Although felt is durable, you should still look for rips, tears, splits, ponding and blistering, which can sometimes occur. You should also clear any debris or moss that has collected on top of the roof.
You can clean your felt roof with a brush or leaf blower, making sure you get rid of any obstacles to the drainage from the roof.
In addition, keep an eye on your ceiling for any signs of potential leaking. On some occasions you will be able to patch up a felt roof problem, but more serious issues need a professional to repair the damage.
