Shed roofing felt

Andrew Gabriel · 2013-08-05T15:23:28+00:00

Any recommendations for roofing felt for a shed? It will have a new ply roof, so it's a question of what to put on it. I'm after something better than shed felt, which usually ends up in the middle of the lawn a couple of years later, but I'm not going to torch on felt with buckets of molten bitumen, so something inbetween. How good is the cold tar-like felt adhesive? Can you use it to put on more than one layer of felt?

Well went into local builders merchant this morning and came away with a couple of rolls of IKO Coldseal . Having compared it to the torch on stuff that they had I decided that given the size and shape (there are upturns on two sides) of the roof it was probably the better option; less trying to heat and unroll precut pieces around bends.

Weather permitting I will put it on tomorrow and let you know how I get on.

Thanks for all the advice.

Andrew
