Offering built up felt systems with guarantees and a product insured material warranty. A nice traditional finish and structural sound, a lot tougher than modern-day rubber systems.
Torch-on felt roofing has become increasingly popular in recent years - these are the main advantages of this method:
- Installation: One of the main benefits of bituminous felt for professional contractors is ease of installation. The same can also be said about repairs which, while rarely required, can be seen to quickly and efficiently. Torch-on felt roofing is very much an all-year-round application as its installation cannot be affected by the temperamental British weather.
- Durability: Whether you expect the roof to experience high levels of foot traffic, or very little at all, you will want it to stand the test of time. Felt roofing is a highly durable option that holds up well to UV rays and excessive heat during warmer periods of the year. This is equally true in wetter seasons. Limited foot traffic across a felt roof won’t cause any serious issues and it should not be pierced or damaged by any falling debris.
- Value: Felt roofing always offers a great return on investment. While not the cheapest option on the market, the quality of its material allows it to provide real long-term value. Felt roofing is also not the most expensive option, so as a mid-tier solution it offers an affordable and cost-effective alternative. This can also be seen in the low-level maintenance required overtime, which reduces the need for repairs and associated costs.
- Versatility: While this article is concerned with flat roofing, the versatility of torch-on felt roofing must also be discussed, as it can be used on pitched or curved roofing if required. Therefore, it remains one of the most popular options on the market for numerous professional installation companies.
