Felt Roofs

Felt flat roofing is predominately a 3 layer built up flat roofing system. This used to involve, and still does in certain cases, a pot which is used to heat the bitumen. This then gets mopped or poured to stick the felt to the deck, but more and more people are now using 'torch on' felt, which removes the pot entirely. The heat is applied through a gas gun directly to the back of the roll. In recent years, more systems have been introduced to flat roofing. Now we're seeing single ply membranes, fibreglass systems, rubber roofing systems, all of which have different life expectancies and different manufacture's guarantees.
