New Felt Flat Roof in Portsmouth
Everyday Roofing completed this new felt flat roof in Portsmouth using a high-quality Imper Italia bituminous membrane system. The client needed a durable, weatherproof flat roof with a clean finish and reliable drainage.
First, our team prepared the roof surface and checked the existing falls. Then, we installed the new felt system with careful attention to detail. As a result, the finished roof now directs rainwater away more effectively.
We used Imper Italia felt Bituminous Membrane MBDP for this project. This product offers a strong and dependable finish for flat roof installations. In addition, it gives the roof a neat, professional appearance.
Work Completed
The project included:
- Preparation of the existing flat roof area
- Inspection of the roof surface and falls
- Installation of Imper Italia bituminous felt membrane
- Joint sealing and detailing across the roof area
- Edge detailing along the parapet and perimeter
- Checks to reduce the risk of standing water
- Final inspection and site tidy-up
Materials Used
For this installation, we used Imper Italia felt Bituminous Membrane MBDP. Imper Italia manufactures roofing membranes in Italy and supplies products for professional waterproofing systems.
This type of bituminous felt membrane works well on flat roofs. It creates a tough waterproof layer and provides a smart, consistent finish. Therefore, it suits extensions, garages, dormers and other flat roof areas.
The mineral finish also gives the roof added surface protection. Meanwhile, the sealed joints help protect the roof from rain and moisture.
Correct Falls and Flat Roof Drainage
Good drainage matters on every flat roof. Although people call them “flat roofs”, they still need a slight fall. This fall helps rainwater move towards the outlet or gutter.
On this project, we checked the roof levels before and during installation. Then, we fitted the new felt system to support the correct fall. As a result, the roof can shed water more effectively and reduce puddling.
Standing water can shorten the lifespan of a flat roof. Therefore, correct installation is just as important as the product itself.
Expected Lifespan of This Felt Flat Roof
A professionally installed felt flat roof can often last 20 years or more. However, lifespan depends on the roof design, exposure, drainage and ongoing maintenance.
Because this project used a quality bituminous membrane and careful installation, the client now has a strong long-term roof covering. Regular checks will also help protect the roof over time.
Advantages of This Flat Roof System
This felt system offers several practical benefits. Firstly, it provides a durable waterproof covering for flat roof areas. Secondly, it creates a clean and tidy finish.
The material also suits many residential flat roof projects. For example, homeowners often choose it for extensions, garages and rear roof areas. In addition, felt roofing can provide a cost-effective option when installed correctly.
Because our team focused on falls, detailing and edge work, the finished roof now has better long-term protection.
Finished Result
The finished flat roof looks clean, neat and professionally detailed. The grey mineral felt gives the surface a smart appearance. Meanwhile, the sealed joints and edge details help protect vulnerable areas.
The client stayed updated throughout the project. As a result, they understood each stage of the installation and felt confident in the final result.
