About this product
Protect your roof investment with the ABS Breathable Membrane Roofing Felt – a robust and reliable underlay designed to safeguard your structure from the elements. This 50m² roll, supplied in convenient 1m x 50m dimensions, provides essential protection beneath tiles on pitched roofs, sheds, slates, and timber frame constructions.
Formed from a premium 100GSM breathable membrane, this roofing felt is engineered for long-lasting performance and exceptional tear resistance. Its vapour permeable properties are crucial; allowing moisture vapour to escape, helping to minimise condensation build-up and damp issues within your roof space – a key factor in preventing rot and structural damage. CE approved and CPR compliant, this membrane meets rigorous professional roofing standards, offering both trade professionals and homeowners peace of mind.
Ideal for new builds and refurbishments alike, this roll is perfectly suited to covering areas up to 50m² and can be used beneath tiles on pitched roofs, providing dependable weather protection and breathable performance. While a standard 100gsm grade offers solid value, consider that higher-grade options, such as those utilising 120gsm material, provide enhanced durability for demanding projects.
