Strong Polyester Reinforced Construction
The key difference between Ultrapol and basic shed roofing felt is the polyester reinforcement.
Traditional budget shed felts often use a glass fibre carrier. Polyester reinforcement offers greater strength and flexibility, helping the material resist tearing and cope more effectively with normal movement during handling and installation.
This makes Ultrapol particularly suitable for customers who want a roof covering that feels more substantial and is intended to last significantly longer than basic shed felt.
SBS Modified Bitumen
Ultrapol uses SBS-modified bitumen, which improves the flexibility of the roofing felt compared with more basic bituminous membranes.
This added flexibility is particularly valuable in the UK, where roofing materials are exposed to changing seasonal temperatures throughout the year.
SBS modification helps the felt remain flexible rather than becoming excessively stiff or brittle in colder conditions.
Flexible Down to -15°C
The current Ultrapol specification states that the felt remains flexible down to approximately -15°C.
This improved cold-weather flexibility helps reduce the risk of cracking or brittleness associated with lower-grade roofing products.
For garden buildings exposed to year-round British weather, this is an important advantage.
Attractive Charcoal / Granite Grey Mineral Finish
The top surface is finished with an attractive granite grey mineral slate, creating the charcoal appearance commonly preferred on modern garden buildings.
The dark neutral colour works particularly well with:
- Natural timber sheds
- Grey-painted garden buildings
- Black timber structures
- Contemporary garden offices
- Summerhouses
- Log cabins
- Timber garages
- Workshops
The mineral finish also forms the exposed weather-facing surface of the roofing membrane.
10m x 1m Roll
Each roll measures 10 metres long by 1 metre wide, providing approximately 10m² of material before overlaps, edges and cutting are taken into account.
The 10m size is particularly suitable for medium-sized garden buildings and standard shed roofing projects.
It offers a useful balance between coverage and ease of handling compared with heavier 20m rolls.
Approximately 25kg Per Roll
Each charcoal Ultrapol 10m roll weighs approximately 25kg.
This substantial weight reflects the heavier-duty polyester and bituminous construction while remaining more manageable than the larger 20m version.
Ideal for Shed Roofs
Ultrapol is an excellent choice for customers who want a more durable shed roofing material than standard mineral felt.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Garden sheds
- Storage sheds
- Tool sheds
- Workshops
- Timber outbuildings
The charcoal mineral finish gives a neat final appearance while the SBS polyester construction provides dependable waterproof protection.
Ideal for Summerhouses
Summerhouses often represent a larger investment than a standard storage shed, making a longer-lasting roofing material worthwhile.
The attractive charcoal finish and 15-year life expectancy make Ultrapol particularly well suited to summerhouse roofing projects.
Ideal for Garden Offices
Garden offices and home workspaces are often occupied throughout the year and therefore benefit from a more substantial roofing system.
Ultrapol is suitable for:
- Home offices
- Garden studios
- Hobby rooms
- Work-from-home buildings
- Timber garden rooms
The granite grey finish also complements contemporary garden office designs particularly well.
Suitable for Log Cabins
The strong polyester construction and dark mineral finish make Ultrapol an excellent option for log cabins and timber garden buildings.
The charcoal surface provides an attractive contrast against natural timber while offering dependable protection against rain and weather exposure.
Suitable for Garages & Workshops
Ultrapol can also be used on suitable garage and workshop roofs.
Typical applications include:
- Timber garages
- Workshops
- Storage buildings
- Utility structures
- Outbuildings
The premium polyester construction makes it particularly attractive where greater durability is preferred over basic economy shed felt.
Single-Layer Waterproof Roofing System
Ultrapol is designed to be installed as a single-layer waterproof roofing felt.
This makes it straightforward to use compared with multi-layer felt systems while still providing premium performance for garden building roofs.
When correctly installed over a suitable roof deck, the membrane becomes the exposed waterproof roof covering.
15-Year Life Expectancy
One of the strongest selling points of Ultrapol is its stated 15-year life expectancy when correctly installed.
This gives customers a clear upgrade path from basic shed felts with shorter expected service lives.
Correct installation is essential to achieving the intended performance.
The roof deck, fixings, adhesive, overlaps, edges and ridge details should all be completed carefully.
Film-Faced Underside
The underside of the product features a film-faced finish.
This film is part of the roofing felt construction and must not be peeled off during installation.
Install the membrane with:
- Mineral slate surface facing upwards
- Film-faced surface facing downwards
The film backing helps the product remain flat and manageable when laid.
Designed to Lie Flat
The film-faced underside helps reduce unwanted sticking while the roll is stored and contributes to a flatter installation.
A roofing felt that lies flat is easier to position, align and secure correctly across the roof deck.
This can help produce a cleaner and more professional-looking finish.
Excellent for Re-Felting Existing Sheds
Ultrapol is particularly useful when upgrading an older roof that has become:
- Torn
- Cracked
- Brittle
- Loose
- Weathered
- Leaking
- Damaged by wind
- Worn around edges or joints
Replacing worn basic felt with an SBS polyester roofing felt can significantly improve the durability of the finished roof.
Galvanised Clout Nail Fixing
The current installation specification calls for galvanised clout nails positioned approximately every 50mm.
Roofing clout nails feature broad heads that help secure the felt without easily pulling through the membrane.
The galvanised finish also provides greater corrosion resistance for exterior applications.
Use Roofing Felt Adhesive Along Edges
Suitable roofing felt adhesive should be applied along the edges as part of the installation.
Adhesive helps:
- Secure vulnerable roof edges
- Bond overlap areas
- Reduce the risk of wind lift
- Improve weather resistance
- Produce a neater completed roof
For best results, use a roofing adhesive compatible with bituminous roofing felt.
Installation Guide
For best performance:
- Make sure the roof deck is clean, dry and structurally sound
- Remove old damaged felt, loose nails and debris where necessary
- Unroll and position the roofing felt carefully
- Keep the charcoal mineral surface facing upwards
- Do not peel off the film backing
- Secure using galvanised clout nails at approximately 50mm centres
- Apply suitable roofing felt adhesive along edges
- Provide appropriate overlaps between adjacent sections
- Carefully seal roof edges, laps and ridge details
- Avoid unnecessary creases, folds or punctures
- Follow appropriate roofing installation guidance
Correct installation is important for achieving maximum waterproofing performance and lifespan.
Allow for Overlaps
Although each roll contains approximately 10m² of material, the actual finished roof coverage will be lower because roofing felt must overlap at joints and edges.
Allow additional material for:
- Side overlaps
- End overlaps
- Ridge details
- Eaves
- Verges
- Cutting
- Trimming
- Waste
Accurate roof measurements before ordering will help ensure sufficient material is available.
Polyester Felt vs Glass Fibre Shed Felt
For customers comparing roofing materials, the main difference is the reinforcement.
Glass fibre shed felt is generally an economical choice for standard garden building roofs.
Polyester shed felt provides improved tensile strength, flexibility and tear resistance, making it more suitable where longer service life and increased durability are required.
Ultrapol is therefore a strong choice for customers looking to upgrade from entry-level shed roofing felt.
Why Upgrade to Ultrapol?
Ultrapol provides several advantages over lower-cost shed felt:
- Polyester reinforced base
- SBS-modified bitumen
- Increased tear resistance
- Better flexibility
- Strong cold-weather performance
- Premium charcoal mineral finish
- Single-layer installation
- 15-year life expectancy
This makes it particularly attractive for higher-quality sheds, summerhouses, garden offices, log cabins and garages.
Ideal for New Roofs & Refurbishment
Ultrapol is suitable for both new roofing installations and replacement roofing projects.
Typical uses include:
- New shed construction
- Shed roof replacement
- Summerhouse refurbishment
- Garden office construction
- Log cabin roofing
- Garage re-roofing
- Workshop refurbishment
- General garden building roofing
