IndustryNet is the Industrial Marketplace for Roofing Felt
Roofing felt is a crucial component in the construction and maintenance of roofs, providing a protective layer that enhances the durability and weather resistance of roofing systems. This material, typically made from a base of natural or synthetic fibers, is saturated with bitumen or asphalt to create a waterproof barrier. The production process involves saturating the felt with bitumen, followed by coating it with additional layers of asphalt to ensure water resistance and durability. Roofing felt is available in various thicknesses and weights, which are selected based on the specific requirements of the roofing project. The primary application of roofing felt is as an underlayment beneath shingles or other roofing materials. It acts as a secondary barrier against water infiltration, protecting the roof deck from moisture damage. This is particularly important in preventing leaks and extending the lifespan of the roof. Roofing felt also provides a degree of insulation and can help in reducing noise from rain or hail. The material is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial roofing projects. It serves industries such as construction, real estate development, and property management. In addition to its use in new roof installations, roofing felt is also employed in roof repairs and maintenance, offering a cost-effective solution for enhancing the performance of existing roofing systems. The material's versatility and ease of installation make it a preferred choice for roofing professionals. Roofing felt is compatible with various roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tile, making it a versatile option for different architectural styles and climates. The industry continues to innovate in terms of material composition and manufacturing techniques to improve the performance and environmental impact of roofing felt. This includes the development of products with enhanced UV resistance, increased durability, and improved sustainability through the use of recycled materials.
The 2007-2009 recession caused havoc within the roofing industry; as new housing construction crashed and builders lost jobs, demand for new roofs vanished. But the economy has righted itself. Construction of both public and private buildings, including their roofs, has regained the pace it was on in the mid-2000s.
Recent data reveals that overall construction spending in fall 2016 rose to its highest level in 10 years, indicating a rise in roofing numbers, as well. The growth reflects gains in both private and public investments; the steady climb in the numbers could prompt economists to adjust their Q4 GDP estimates upwards.

The importance of taking the time to vet potential roofing companies is equally significant to both homeowners and roofing contractors. The manufacturer of the roofing shingles is the key determination in how long the roof will last and whether or not it is an appropriate choice for the homeowner's region. Even the most perfectly installed roof will provide little value if it is poorly manufactured or is lacking in proper design for weather protection.
The vast majority of roofing manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty on their shingles, so this alone shouldn't be a deciding factor. A lifetime warranty sounds great, especially to unknowing homeowners, but what roofing companies realize is that the average homeowner will probably move from the home before the roof begins to show age.
