Is roof felt porous.

For those who don t know porous in this case means the concrete roof tiles will let water through. One technical advance made in recent times is the production of a roofing felt which allows some movement of water vapour through it. And with high tech membrane roofing they come with a lifetime guarantee. Understandably when you re dealing with a concrete roof this is a big concern because they are so exposed to the elements the last thing you want to happen is to have your concrete tiles fall off your roof.

So if your felt flat roof is in need of replacement don t panic. But you can rest easy because it s all a myth concrete roof tiles don t become porous. Ikopro solvent free water proofer is an easy to use bitumen based emulsion for roofs. This is a vast improvement on some of the impervious felts previously used.

Vapour permeable roofing felt. The barrier will protect the porous flooring from damage due to moisture absorption. Porous roof tiles decrease the home value. The product can be used as a waterproofing coating on asphalt fibre cement sheeting concrete and bituminous roofing membranes.

Instead of replacing the felt roof we decided to use a product call. We had a problem with our shed workshop flat felt roof leaking and needed a quick repair. If you are looking to sell your home any time soon there is a chance that the porous roof tiles may prevent you from getting the price you were hoping for. The main reason for this is the reduced aesthetics of the roof that at the end of the day may make your home a little less appealing to possible.

While there are several products designed specifically for this use some installers choose roofing felt as their barrier.
