Torch on felt flat roofing systems are laid on plywood decking comprise of 3 layers: a vapour control membrane, a thin layer of reinforced felt called the underlay and finally a thicker layer of felt called a cap sheet where the underside has been pre-treated with a covering of bitumen.

This bitumen covering is heated with a propane gas torch as the felt is unrolled and applied to the roof surface while it is still hot in order to weld all three layers together.
There are a few options regarding finishing touches:

• The plain black bitumen finish is ideal for adding a solar reflective paint finish
• A mineral fleck finish is available in slate grey, green, brown and blue
• Walk way tiles can be added if your flat roof is positioned where you require pedestrian access
• Limestone chippings can also be applied

All of our flat roofs are installed with mineral edging as standard which give a neat appearance by hiding the edges of the felt.
