jfb Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 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: https://roofstores.co.uk/iko-56045000-shed-felt-10m-x-1m-black designed to be draped between 400mm rafters?

Jilly Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I had this specified stuff because of bats. The modern stuff tangles in their feet and entombs them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfb Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Good point Jilly. I’ve a few bats flitting about but not living in that barn right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidFrancis Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidFrancis Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfb Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Good to know David - I'll go with the one Tony recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epsilonGreedy Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 @PeterWpointed me towards Sark-It in another thread, not bituminous but matt black, no writing or shiny laminate layer on the underside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
