Sand Finish Roofing Felt Underlay
Unlike a mineral cap sheet, this SupaTec membrane has a fine sand finish and is designed specifically to form an underlay within a multi-layer roofing system.
The sanded upper surface provides a suitable base for the next layer of roofing felt, while the plastic film underside allows the membrane to be torch applied to a correctly prepared substrate.
The finished roof should then be completed using a suitable mineral roofing cap sheet designed for external exposure.
Ideal For
SupaTec SBS Sand Finish Underlay is suitable for a wide range of flat and low-pitched roofing projects, including:
- Flat roofs
- Garage roofs
- Extension roofs
- Porch roofs
- Workshop roofs
- Outbuildings
- Residential roofing
- Commercial roofing
- New-build flat roofs
- Flat roof refurbishment
- Replacement felt roofing systems
SBS Modified Bitumen Construction
The membrane is manufactured using SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) modified bitumen, a material widely used in professional built-up roofing systems.
SBS modification improves the flexibility and performance of bituminous roofing membranes, creating a durable underlay suitable for demanding roofing applications.
This makes SupaTec an excellent choice for customers looking for heavy duty SBS roofing felt, torch-on bitumen underlay or a professional alternative to lightweight roofing felt.
Large 15m x 1m Roll
Each roll measures 15 metres long by 1 metre wide, providing approximately 15 square metres of material before allowing for side and end overlaps.
The longer 15m roll provides useful coverage for larger roof areas and can help reduce the number of separate rolls required when compared with shorter roofing membranes.
It is particularly well suited to:
- Large garage roofs
- Home extensions
- Workshops
- Garden rooms
- Commercial outbuildings
- Larger flat roof refurbishment projects
2.2mm Roofing Felt Underlay
At approximately 2.2mm thick, SupaTec provides a substantial waterproof underlay while retaining the flexibility needed for professional roof installation.
Combined with its SBS modified bitumen construction, the membrane creates a strong foundation for the final roofing cap sheet.
For customers comparing different systems, the 2.2mm thickness is an important specification and a useful search term when looking for compatible flat roofing materials.
Torch-On Application
SupaTec Sand Finish Underlay can be installed using the traditional torch-on roofing method.
During installation, heat is carefully applied to activate the bitumen on the underside of the membrane, allowing it to bond securely to a correctly prepared roof substrate.
When properly installed, this creates a strong and continuous waterproof layer beneath the roof’s final cap sheet.
Important: Torch-on roofing involves the use of an open flame and should only be carried out by suitably trained and competent installers using appropriate equipment and fire-safety precautions.
Cold Felt Adhesive Application
Where flame application is unsuitable, SupaTec may also be fitted using a compatible cold roofing felt adhesive, subject to the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions and the specification of the roofing system.
This provides greater installation flexibility, particularly on projects where torch application may not be appropriate.
Designed for Built-Up Felt Roofing Systems
This product is intended to be used as an underlay and should not normally be used as the exposed final roof covering.
A typical built-up felt roofing system may consist of:
- Correctly prepared roof deck or substrate
- SupaTec SBS Sand Finish Underlay
- Compatible SBS mineral cap sheet
The underlay provides an additional waterproof layer while the mineral cap sheet forms the exposed weather-resistant surface of the completed roof.
Suitable for New Roofs & Refurbishment
SupaTec Sand Finish Underlay is suitable for both new flat roof installations and refurbishment projects.
Whether you’re replacing an ageing felt roof, constructing an extension or installing a new garage or workshop roof, this professional SBS underlay provides a dependable base for a complete felt roofing system.
