SELF ADHESIVE QUALITY FLAT ROOFING FELT

[grahambell49]

I'm looking at re-covering a flat roof over my kitchen. I was just wondering if self adhesive flat roofing felt would be any good for this?

I'll be the 1st to reply then shall I??

Well.....Self Adhesive felt IS NO GOOD! SIMPLE.!!

Its ok for a shed lol!!! If your looking for a flat roof covering for an extension over a kitchen then it has to be EPDM (one sheet, no joins or seams) Or a high tensile felt.

Both will last years and years.

I used a wickes self adhesive system on a shed in the garden. 6 years on, it's still in perfect condition and has NO leaks.

So, if you want to be cheap and save some money, it can be done and systems are available. Just keep in mind it should not last as long as proper systems.

OSB3
Paint Tar on it
Put on the two layer wickes system

However, whenever I do flat roofs now. I used a 3 layer system torched on.

I dont think you will get many years out of self adhesive felt, Id only use it on a shed.
As previously been said, fit an epdm roof on for peace of mind.
Although torched on felt done correctly will last many years.
