Strong Bond for Roofing Felt
This adhesive is designed to provide a strong final bond for roofing felt, helping secure the felt firmly to the underlying roof surface.
Correct adhesion can help reduce unwanted movement and lifting while creating a neater and more secure finished roofing installation.
It is particularly useful when installing roofing felt onto:
- Timber roof decks
- Concrete surfaces
- Metal surfaces
- Shed roofs
- Garage roofs
- Outbuildings
- Flat roofing structures
Suitable for Timber Roof Decks
Timber is one of the most common roof deck materials used on garden buildings.
This Roofing Felt Adhesive can be used to bond suitable roofing felt directly to prepared timber surfaces, making it particularly useful for:
- Garden sheds
- Summerhouses
- Garden offices
- Workshops
- Log cabins
- Playhouses
- Timber garages
- Storage buildings
For shed roofing projects, adhesive can be used alongside suitable galvanised clout nails where required by the roofing-felt installation instructions.
Suitable for Concrete
The adhesive is also suitable for bonding roofing felt to concrete surfaces.
This makes it useful for a wider range of flat roofing and construction applications where a bitumen-based waterproof roofing membrane needs to be securely bonded to a prepared concrete substrate.
The surface should be clean, sound and suitably prepared before application.
Suitable for Metal Surfaces
Roofing Felt Adhesive can also be used on suitable metal surfaces, adding to its versatility for repair and refurbishment work.
Always ensure metal substrates are clean and free from loose rust, contamination, grease and other materials that could affect adhesion.
Cold Applied – No Heat Required
One of the main benefits of this product is that it is cold applied.
There is no need to heat the adhesive or use a roofing torch during application.
This makes it a practical option for roofing projects where a straightforward adhesive fixing method is preferred.
Cold application is particularly useful for:
- Garden building roofs
- Shed roof repairs
- DIY roofing projects
- Areas where torch application is unsuitable
- General roofing felt installation
Easy Application
The adhesive can be applied using a:
- Brush
- Mop
- Roller
This allows the application method to be selected according to the size and type of roofing project.
For smaller areas and detailed work, a brush may provide greater control, while a roller or suitable mop can make it easier to cover larger roof surfaces.
High Bond Strength
The bitumen-based formulation is designed to provide high bond strength, helping roofing felt remain securely attached to the substrate.
A strong bond is particularly important around vulnerable roof areas such as:
- Edges
- Overlaps
- Laps
- Eaves
- Roof perimeters
- Detail areas
Correct application helps create a secure and professional roofing-felt installation.
Ideal for Sealing Roofing Felt Laps
As well as bonding the main body of the roofing felt, this adhesive is suitable for sealing felt laps and overlaps.
Roofing felt normally requires adjoining sections to overlap to maintain effective weather protection.
Applying suitable adhesive at these joints helps:
- Bond overlapping felt sections
- Reduce the risk of edges lifting
- Improve weather protection
- Create a more secure joint
- Produce a neater finished roof
This makes the adhesive particularly useful for shed re-felting and flat roof repair projects.
Ideal for Shed Roofing Felt
This 5 litre adhesive is an excellent companion product for many types of shed roofing felt.
It can be used when installing or replacing felt on:
- Garden sheds
- Summerhouses
- Garden offices
- Log cabins
- Workshops
- Playhouses
- Kennels
- Hutches
- Timber stores
- Outbuildings
Using the correct roofing adhesive around edges and overlaps can help improve the security and durability of the finished shed roof.
Suitable for Flat Roofing Projects
Roofing Felt Adhesive is also suitable for a variety of flat roofing applications where a cold-applied bitumen adhesive is required.
Potential applications include:
- Garage roofs
- Porch roofs
- Extension roofs
- Workshop roofs
- Outbuilding roofs
- Flat roof refurbishment
- Felt roof repairs
Always ensure the roofing felt, substrate and adhesive are compatible with the intended roofing system.
Bonds Chippings to Flat Roofs
This Roofing Felt Adhesive can also be used for bonding roof chippings to the final layer of roofing felt.
Roof chippings can provide additional surface protection and create a traditional finished appearance on suitable flat roofing systems.
The adhesive helps hold the chippings securely against the roofing surface once correctly applied.
Useful for Gritting Applications
The adhesive is suitable for gritting, adding another useful application for traditional felt roofing systems.
This makes the 5 litre container a versatile roofing product for customers carrying out both installation and finishing work.
Ideal for Re-Felting a Shed Roof
If an existing shed felt roof has become:
- Torn
- Cracked
- Loose
- Weathered
- Leaking
- Damaged by wind
this adhesive can be used as part of the installation of replacement roofing felt.
Applying adhesive to the appropriate edges, laps and roof areas helps create a secure and weather-resistant finished installation.
Roofing Felt Adhesive Application
For best results:
- Ensure the surface is clean and suitably prepared
- Remove dirt, dust, loose debris and contamination
- Stir the adhesive where required before use
- Apply evenly using a suitable brush, mop or roller
- Pay particular attention to roof edges and overlaps
- Position the roofing felt carefully while the adhesive is workable
- Press the felt firmly into position
- Use appropriate mechanical fixings where required
- Allow adequate time for the adhesive to cure before exposing the roof to unnecessary disturbance
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the particular roofing felt and installation system being used.
Surface Preparation
Good surface preparation is important for achieving a strong bond.
Before applying roofing adhesive:
- Remove loose material
- Remove standing water
- Remove excessive dirt and dust
- Remove grease and contamination
- Ensure loose old roofing material is removed
- Repair unsuitable or damaged roof deck areas
- Make sure the substrate is structurally sound
Poor surface preparation can reduce adhesive performance.
Use with Roofing Felt & Clout Nails
Depending on the roofing-felt specification, adhesive may be used alongside galvanised roofing clout nails.
For many shed roofing installations:
- Roofing felt is correctly positioned across the roof deck
- Felt adhesive is applied to required edges and overlaps
- Galvanised clout nails mechanically secure the felt
- Joints and vulnerable details are carefully sealed
Using both suitable adhesive and fixings can help create a secure and professional roof installation.
