Crafted from SBS-modified bitumen combined with a 200g spun bond polyester base, this mineral cap sheet boasts exceptional strength, with a tensile strength of 890 N/50mm longitudinally and 590 N/50mm transversely. It’s engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, maintaining water tightness and offering cold bend flexibility down to -5°C. The mineral cap surface itself adds an extra layer of UV and weather resistance, protecting your roof from the elements.
This roofing felt is incredibly easy to install – simply cut it to length and apply using a torch to heat and melt the material, creating a seamless, bonded finish. We recommend utilising it alongside our Sanded Capsheet Underlay for optimal performance.
