Roofing felt is a product that deteriorates after a dozen or so months from its foundation and loses its original properties – at least in some cases. Badly placed, unsecured with a protective layer, it may be exposed to the formation of many cracks. Fortunately, there are methods and measures that penetrate a given surface and keep it in good technical condition. The very purpose of the renovation of the roofing felt is to restore its lost properties, such as elasticity and tightness.
Keeping our roof in good technical condition is not only the possibility of reducing the costs associated with its isubsequent repair, it is primarily our duty. Meanwhile, roofing papers made of unmodified bitumen should be preserved after three years, and those made of modified bitumen – after five years.
In order for the technical condition of our roofing felt to be really satisfactory, appropriate measures must be selected. Usually these are bituminous masses with which the roof surface is covered. Maintenance using appropriate masses is much cheaper than a complete replacement of the roofing felt. In the long run, you need to add not only the costs of the product itself, but also the disposal of the old roofing felt. Contact us if you need roof repairs in Limerick.
