Roofing felt is a term describing a roll of a base material which is impregnated and coated with bitumen or modified bituminous material. High performance felt has a polyester or SBS base material which doesn’t split and is impregnated in modified bitumen.
The felt is manufactured with a layer of modified bitumen applied to the underside of the felt. This is heated up and melted using a gas torch to form a flood of bitumen at the base of the roll. The bitumen on roofing felt is protected from UV rays by using mineral surface felt.
