I have a garage with a very low pitched roof. Today i felted it with a 3 layer technatorch felt system.
I asked the roofing suppler for capsheet to finish the roof. The felt he supplied has a sand finish. I have now been advised that this is the wrong felt and i should have used mineral felt, and that the felt i have used will need protecting from the sun. I am feeling both annoyed and a bit stupid. The roof will not support the weight of putting stone on the roof so what are my options? I have heard of silver uv paint but i dont really want a bright silver roof. Do i have any other options?
If i leave it unprotected how long is it likely to last?
