A1 Roofing Reading

As a homeowner in Reading, you may be wondering if you need felt under your roof tiles. At Precision Roofing and Building, trading as A1 Roofing Reading, we understand the importance of a well-protected roof, and we're here to guide you through the process.

Underlayment is a layer of material installed between the roof deck and the roofing material, such as tiles. Its primary purpose is to provide an extra layer of protection against water damage and to help extend the lifespan of your roof.

In the past, felt was a common underlayment material used under roof tiles. However, with advancements in technology, there are now various types of underlayment materials available, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.
Felt underlayment is still a popular choice, but it's not the only option. Other types of underlayment materials include:

• Bituminous underlayment: A cost-effective option that provides good protection against water damage.
• Synthetic underlayment: A durable and breathable material that helps to prevent water damage and reduce the risk of mold and mildew.
• Rubberized underlayment: A flexible and waterproof material that provides excellent protection against water damage.

Underlayment helps to protect your roof from damage caused by water, wind, and other external factors. Without underlayment, your roof tiles may be more prone to damage, which can lead to costly repairs.

If you don't use underlayment, you may experience:

• Water damage: Water can seep into your roof and cause damage to the roof deck, walls, and ceilings.
• Tile damage: Without underlayment, your roof tiles may be more prone to cracking and breaking.
• Roofing material failure: The roofing material may fail prematurely, leading to costly repairs.
