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

Product Information

Different roof types require different application methods. Here are some steps to felting a shed roof! 1. Preparation 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. Pat down the surface with a trowel, or by walking on it. This will help to ensure there is a tight fit and that all three layers of felt are bonded together. 10. Add the final layer of adhesive and gravel 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.

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 Now take the second piece of shed felt and lay it across the roof, ensuring there is an overlap over the first roll of felt – try to ensure this is around 5-7.5cm. Again, nail the top of the roofing felt into place. 5. Add felt adhesive

Next, measure the surface of the shed roofing to calculate how much felt you’ll need – don’t forget to add an extra 5-7.5cm for overlaps at the edges and the gables. Generally, if felting a pitched shed roof you’ll require 3 pieces of felt – 1 for each side and then one to overlap the two edges, but this may vary depending on the size of the shed roof and the width of the felt rolls. 3. Lay the first piece of felt Rolled roofing is very adaptable and can be cut into 12-inch by 36-inch strips to act as hips and ridges or 9-inch strips for eaves and rakes. 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.

Now lay the roofing felt out across the roof, or dry ground, and leave it there for half an hour. Once it’s been rested it should be easier to manipulate and fix into place. 4. Lay the first piece of felt Spread adhesive on the second layer of felt as before, and then place the final layer of felt on top. Again, ensure there are no air bubbles, there is at least 5cm of overlap and there is also overlap around the edges of the roof. 9. Smooth the surface Hammered-down rolled roofing should not be used on flat roofs as this could lead to leaks.

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 Cost-Effective:Few roofing materials offer the same combination of performance and affordability, saving on materials and labour. Felting a flat roof is slightly different from felting a shed or garden outbuilding. When felting a flat roof, you’ll add several layers of felt to create a watertight and impenetrable seal. 1.

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 Shingles
