Strong Polyester Reinforced Construction
Unlike basic shed felts manufactured with a glass fibre core, this premium roofing felt uses a polyester-based reinforcement.
Polyester provides excellent tensile strength and flexibility, making the felt tougher and more resistant to tearing during handling and installation.
This makes it particularly suitable for customers wanting a roofing system that provides a step up from standard entry-level shed felt.
SBS Modified for Extra Flexibility
The membrane uses SBS-modified bitumen, which improves flexibility compared with more basic roofing felt formulations.
SBS modification allows the felt to remain flexible in colder temperatures and reduces the tendency for the material to become brittle.
This product is specified as remaining flexible down to approximately -15°C, making it particularly well suited to the changing temperatures experienced in the UK.
Flexible Down to -15°C
Cold weather can be challenging for lower-grade roofing materials.
Some basic felts can become stiff or brittle when temperatures fall, increasing the possibility of cracking or damage.
This SBS polyester roofing felt remains flexible down to approximately -15°C, helping maintain performance through colder weather conditions.
That additional flexibility is one of the main advantages of choosing a high-quality polyester shed felt.
Attractive Charcoal / Granite Grey Mineral Finish
The top surface is finished with a granite grey mineral slate, commonly described as a charcoal finish.
This provides a smart, understated appearance that complements both traditional and contemporary garden buildings.
The charcoal / granite grey colour works particularly well with:
- Natural timber sheds
- Grey garden buildings
- Black-painted timber
- Contemporary garden offices
- Log cabins
- Modern summerhouses
- Timber garages
- Workshops
The mineral finish also creates the exposed outer surface of the roofing system.
20m x 1m Roll
Each roll measures 20 metres long by 1 metre wide, giving approximately 20m² of material before allowing for overlaps, edges and cutting.
The long 20 metre format is particularly useful for larger roofing projects where multiple shorter rolls would otherwise be required.
It can help reduce the number of roll changes and potentially reduce the number of joints required across larger roof areas.
Ideal for Larger Shed Roofs
The generous 20m roll length makes this product especially suitable for:
- Large garden sheds
- Double sheds
- Workshops
- Summerhouses
- Garden offices
- Log cabins
- Timber garages
- Storage buildings
- Larger outbuildings
For smaller projects, a 10m version may provide a more economical quantity.
Single-Layer Waterproof Roofing Felt
This Ultrapol felt is designed to be used as a single-layer waterproof roofing system.
This makes installation relatively straightforward compared with traditional multi-layer roofing systems.
When installed correctly over a suitable roof deck, the felt forms the exposed waterproof layer and protects the building beneath from rain and everyday weather exposure.
15-Year Life Expectancy
One of the strongest selling points of this premium shed felt is its stated 15-year life expectancy when correctly installed.
That makes it an excellent choice for customers who want a longer-lasting roofing solution than basic glass fibre shed felt.
Correct installation is essential to achieving the expected service life.
The roof deck, overlaps, edges, fixings and adhesive details should all be completed carefully and in accordance with appropriate roofing practice.
Film-Faced Underside
The underside of the roofing felt features a film-faced finish.
Importantly, this film is part of the roofing product and should not be peeled off during installation.
The felt should be installed with:
- Mineral slate surface facing upwards
- Film-faced surface facing downwards
Removing the film backing is not part of the installation process.
Ideal for Re-Felting an Existing Shed
This polyester roofing felt is an excellent upgrade when replacing older or damaged shed felt.
It may be particularly suitable when an existing roof has become:
- Torn
- Cracked
- Brittle
- Weathered
- Loose
- Leaking
- Damaged by wind
- Worn around edges or overlaps
Replacing an ageing basic felt with a premium SBS polyester roofing felt can provide a longer-lasting roof covering.
Suitable for Sheds
The product is particularly well suited to timber garden sheds, providing a tough waterproof covering with a smart charcoal mineral finish.
Its polyester reinforcement and SBS modification make it an excellent option for customers looking for greater durability than standard shed felt.
Suitable for Summerhouses
Summerhouses often represent a greater investment than standard garden sheds, so customers may prefer a longer-life roofing material.
The attractive granite grey finish and 15-year expected life make this polyester felt a strong option for summerhouse roofs.
Suitable for Garden Offices
Garden offices and home workspaces frequently require a more substantial roofing solution because the building may be used throughout the year.
This premium polyester felt is ideal for:
- Home offices
- Garden studios
- Work-from-home rooms
- Garden workspaces
- Hobby rooms
Its charcoal / granite grey finish also complements contemporary timber garden buildings particularly well.
Suitable for Log Cabins
This roofing felt is also suitable for log cabin roofing applications.
The darker granite grey mineral finish provides an attractive contrast against natural timber, while the SBS polyester construction provides dependable waterproofing performance.
Suitable for Garages & Workshops
The 20m roll size makes this felt particularly useful for larger buildings such as:
- Timber garages
- Workshops
- Storage buildings
- Utility buildings
- Outbuildings
For larger roof areas, the substantial roll size can make planning and installation more convenient than using several small rolls.
Galvanised Clout Nail Fixing
The recommended mechanical fixing method uses galvanised clout nails spaced approximately every 50mm.
Roofing clout nails feature a broad head that helps hold the felt securely against the timber roof deck.
The galvanised finish provides additional corrosion resistance for external roofing applications.
Use Roofing Felt Adhesive Along Edges
In addition to mechanical fixing, suitable roofing felt adhesive should be brushed along the edges.
Correct use of adhesive helps:
- Secure roof edges
- Bond vulnerable sections
- Reduce the possibility of wind lifting
- Improve weather protection
- Produce a neater finished installation
Particular attention should be given to exposed roof edges, joints and overlaps.
Installation Guide
For best results:
- Ensure the timber roof deck is clean, dry and structurally sound
- Remove existing damaged felt, loose nails and debris where necessary
- Unroll and position the roofing felt carefully
- Ensure the charcoal / granite grey mineral surface faces upwards
- Do not peel off the film backing
- Secure using galvanised clout nails at approximately 50mm centres
- Apply suitable roofing felt adhesive along edges as required
- Provide suitable overlaps between adjoining sections
- Seal roof edges, joints and details carefully
- Avoid unnecessary folds, wrinkles or damage
- Follow good roofing practice and the relevant installation requirements
Correct fitting is important for maximising waterproof performance and service life.
Allow for Overlaps When Calculating Coverage
Although a 20m x 1m roll contains approximately 20m² of roofing material, the actual finished roof coverage will be lower because allowance must be made for overlaps and trimming.
When ordering, allow additional material for:
- Side overlaps
- End overlaps
- Roof ridges
- Eaves
- Verges
- Edges
- Cutting
- Waste
Measuring the roof accurately before ordering will help ensure enough felt is available to complete the installation correctly.
Polyester Felt vs Glass Fibre Shed Felt
Both products can be suitable for garden building roofs, but they are aimed at different levels of performance.
Glass fibre shed felt is typically selected as an economical roofing solution for sheds and smaller garden buildings.
Polyester shed felt provides improved strength and flexibility and is better suited to customers looking for a more substantial and longer-lasting roof covering.
This Ultrapol product has a 15-year expected life, compared with the shorter expected lifespan typically associated with basic glass fibre shed felt.
Excellent Upgrade from Standard Shed Felt
Customers replacing an inexpensive shed roof covering may benefit from upgrading to polyester felt rather than simply installing another basic roofing membrane.
Key advantages include:
- Strong polyester reinforcement
- SBS-modified construction
- Improved flexibility
- Better cold-weather performance
- Heavy duty construction
- Premium mineral finish
- Longer expected lifespan
This makes the product particularly attractive for higher-quality sheds, garden offices, garages and summerhouses.
Ideal for New Roofs & Refurbishment
The felt is suitable for both new roofing installations and replacement roofing projects.
Typical applications include:
- New garden buildings
- Replacement shed roofs
- Summerhouse refurbishment
- Garden office construction
- Log cabin roofing
- Garage re-roofing
- Workshop refurbishment

It is intended for customers who prioritise:
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Durability
- Long-term waterproofing
