The following covers some common questions about roofing felt, including what it is and its benefits: **What is roofing felt?** Roofing felt is a layer of material that’s added between the deck of your new roof and your shingles. Not only does it perform well, it’s also an economical choice. **What is roofing felt made of?** While the regular felt you may be familiar with is made of condensed and pressed fibers, it’s different from the felt that’s used on roofs. Roofing felt is usually made with natural materials like wood cellulose, or synthetic materials like polyester or fiberglass. It’s then either coated with asphalt (bitumen) or saturated with asphalt all the way through. This allows the roofing felt to repel water but to still “breathe.” Roofing felt can come in different weights, which refer to the number of pounds each square, which is 100 square feet in size, weighs. **What are the benefits of roofing felt?** It provides the following benefits during and after your roof replacement: **Repels water** Water can sometimes seep underneath your shingles and become trapped, especially in windy weather. Roofing felt provides your roof decking - as well as the interior of your home – with additional protection from water damage. **Protects the roof deck if a shingle comes off** The roofing felt provides temporary protection if a shingle has come off and keeps the deck from being exposed to the elements while the roof is being worked on. **Increases the fire rating of some roofing systems** Roofing felt is often required to achieve the highest possible fire rating. **Helps keep shingles from staining** Some types of decking wood can leach resin onto your shingles over time, so roofing felt can keep your shingles from getting stained. **Adds additional protection against heat and sound** With another layer of protection, the interior of your home will receive less heat in blistering Las Vegas summer as well as less noise from the outside. **Provides an even, uniform surface ** Not all decks lie perfectly straight or flat. If yours doesn’t, roofing felt will help give its surface a more even appearance.
