Benefits Of A Professional Felt Roof Installation in Hampshire
Felt roofs, also known as bitumen felt roofs, are meticulously crafted using high-quality materials such as polyester and bitumen. At R & B Roofing & Building, we employ a torch-on three-layer method for their application, ensuring exceptional durability and leak resistance. The process involves nailing down the first layer, followed by torching down the remaining two layers in a cross-bonded pattern. This meticulous approach guarantees maximum durability and protects against potential leaks. As local felt roofers, we take pride in delivering professional and reliable roofing solutions tailored to your specific requirements.
