Felt Roofing Contractors

Felt roofing, also known as reinforced bitumen waterproofing systems, offers a cost-effective solution that is known for its ease of installation. These systems consist of multiple waterproofing layers, providing excellent resistance to mechanical damage and making them highly durable, even under heavy foot traffic.

A properly maintained felt roof can surpass a life expectancy of 40 years, making it a reliable choice for new build and refurbishment projects.

At DVC Commercial Roofing Contractors, we have extensive experience working with industry-leading manufacturers and suppliers, enabling us to deliver watertight buildings to our clients. Our expertise lies in utilising various reinforced bituminous waterproofing systems, ensuring optimal performance and long-term satisfaction.

Summary of benefits includes: 

  • Felt roofing remains flexible, even in freezing temperatures. It is less likely to crack and create leaks because it does not become brittle in freezing weather. 
  • High resistance to impact damage.
  • Environmentally friendly, manufactured using organic compounds.
  • Resistant to harsh chemicals, UV degradation, and rust.
