Torch-on felt:

Applied hot in two or three layers, it remains potentially the cheapest covering but there are several different grades you can specify.

The best felt systems are now comparable with any of the alternatives but cost just as much.

Torch-on felt still has its admirers.

Although it’s a cheaper product, it is built up in layers and this gives a more robust finish, more suitable for light foot traffic. And the fact that it is applied hot makes it easier to form around penetrations and corners.

About Flat Roofing

FLAT ROOFS:

A flat roof is a roof which is almost level in contrast to the many types of sloped roofs.

The slope of a roof is properly known as its pitch and flat roofs have up to approximately 10°.

A flat roof has to have a slope in order for the rainwater to drain away.

Flat roofs are normally used on garages, bay windows, outbuildings etc.

RUBBER COVER ROOFING

Call us if you need to ugrade your flat roof to:

Firestone RubberCover™

We ensure that EPDM membranes are always fully adhered to the substrate.

We apply Bonding Adhesive both to the membrane and the substrate.

Firestone RubberCover™ EPDM membranes are available in large, seamless sheets, so that most small residential roofs can be covered with one single sheet.

Firestone RubberCover™ EPDM membranes can be installed on both new and existing roofs.

The membranes can overlay virtually any old roof, provided the roof decking is sound and the existing structure can carry the load of the new roofing system.
