Roofing Felt

[jfb]

looking at getting some bituminous roofing felt to go under some double roman pantiles on an old elm framed barn.

It is an open sided garage with no insulation in roof so the underside of the felt will be visible. Thinking roofing felt might look better aesthetically than a modern membrane.

 

Any advice of different types of felt?

Is something like this:

designed to be draped between 400mm rafters?

I had this specified stuff because of bats. The modern stuff tangles in their feet and entombs them.

Good point Jilly. I’ve a few bats flitting about but not living in that barn right now!

I used that Iko felt on a shed a couple of years ago. Thought it was rather flimsy. Used some Icopal Xtra-Gard this year and thought it more robust.

do you mean the shed felt in the link I put in the first post or the 1F that Tony recommended?

[DavidFrancis]

I was referring to the felt you linked to. As is often the case, I was not sure what Tony was talking about. Now see it is an undertile felt, which is something new to me. By coincidence Iko are based only a couple of miles from here.

Good to know David - I'll go with the one Tony recommended.

@PeterWpointed me towards Sark-It in another thread, not bituminous but matt black, no writing or shiny laminate layer on the underside.
