Roofing Felt Installation Recommendations
I
Be aware that roofing felt should not be walked upon prior to fastening into position.
Proper safety equipment is recommended for all installations. Also,the roof decking
should be clear of debris and moisture prior to installation of the roofing felt.
Roofing felt should be;installed from the bottom of the roof in horizontal layers to
increase the water shedding ability of the felt. The initial layer of felt should,be installed
to cover the bottom edge of the decking,from edge to edge. Overhang is not required.
Anchor the top corner of the felt after it has been properly positioned and roll the felt out
across the roof. Pay careful attention to roll the felt out smoothly,avoiding wrinkles as
you move across the roof. The;top edge of the felt should be fastened no less than every
eight inches. The middle and bottom edge should also be fastened no less than every
eight inches. Fasteners should be applied no less than every eight inches along the eaves.
I
The next course of fel:should also be aligned with the roof edge and should overlap the
previous course two inches(sometimes referred to as head lap). In the event you get to
the end of a roll prior-�o getting to the opposite edge of the roof,begin a new roll with a
four inch overlap over the end of the prior roll (sometimes referred to as end lap). The
same fastening pattern used on the middle and bottom of the initial course!should be used
for each subsequent course. For the top of each subsequent course,fasten(intermittently
to hold the top edge in place until the next course is applied. The fasteners in the bottom
of the next course will hold the top of the previous course securely.
Continue up the roof in this manner. Be sure to firmly fasten the top of the final course if
it terminates at the top edge of the roof. Otherwise,overlap the felt aver the ridge and
secure then begin at the bottom of the other side of the ridge and repeat the process.
In valleys, lay a vertic�d section of roofing felt the length of the valley prior to the
installation of the horizontal runs of roofing felt. If you use more than one section of
roofing felt in a valley, be certain to start at the bottom and overlap each subsequent
length.a minimum of two inches as you move up the valley to insure propgr water

shedding.

In the event some wrinkles are created while fastening down a course of felt, slice the
wrinkles and fasten t:iem flat to the deck. Then seal the cuts with waterproofing cement.
Installation of the primary roof covering(ex. Shingles)is recommended immediately
after felt installation.
NOTE: LOCAL BUILDING CODES MAY REQUIRE A DIFFERENT FASTENING
PATTERN AND/OR.SPECIFIC FASTENER TYPES THAN RECOMMENDED BY
THESE INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODE
ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE EXISTENCE OF REGIONALLY SPECIFIC
