Traditional roofing felt is made with recycled paper coated with plain asphalt. Just as a newspaper left out in the rain can become brittle and disintegrate, the same can happen to traditional roofing felt when it becomes wet or saturated.
Just like the felts, synthetic, plastic-based wraps can compromise the roof’s waterproof integrity and overall durability. Felt, especially, isn’t as flexible around valleys and eaves, deforms and deteriorates with changes in weather and temperature and tends to rot long before the roof tiles or shingles wear out.
Layfast SBS is the superior and competitively priced alternative to traditional 30- and 40-pound organic felts and synthetic underlayments. The addition of SBS rubber to asphalt gives Layfast an elastomeric property not possible with common felt. Layfast SBS contains a higher percentage of asphalt for increased waterproofing. It’s inorganic fiberglass reinforcement eliminates the rot and deterioration associated with saturated felt.
