How to Use Adhesive with Shed Felt

If you are felting your shed with multiple layers in a particularly windy area, you will need to think about how to make sure your felt isn’t ripped away. While normally clout nails will do the job excellently, if there is a certain level of wind uplift, especially on a high-enough-up shed, you’ll need some insurance. That’s where shed felt adhesive comes in.

For more information, please visit our website.

Shed felt adhesive, like Cromar’s Roofing Felt Adhesive, is particularly useful when used alongside felt shingles which are always installed in layers. However, it can be extremely helpful when adhering the overlaps on normal shed felt as well. This is because the adhesive, like the felt itself, is bituminous which means that it resists water. There’s no weak links with shed felt adhesive. 

On shed roofs that are apex roofs – or double-sided – instead of pent or skillion roofs – which are one-sided, there will be two areas where the third piece of felt that covers a ridge joins two others. These can be excellent areas to apply shed felt adhesive.

Installation Process 

The first layer of shed felt should be nailed down first. This will give the roofing felt adhesive something to cling to. Then the adhesive should be applied to the top of the nailed felt using a disposable brush. Afterwards it should be left for half an hour and then the next piece of felt can be applied. 

When that felt is applied, it should be worked down completely flat to prevent any chance of air pockets or blistering. You can even use a dry paint roller to roll out the felt. If it is being used with shingles you can nail down the layer after adhering it and apply adhesive again, always making sure to only apply it on the base section that will be covered by the layer’s tile section.  

As for normal shed felt, you should aim for it to overlap by at least 150mm, covering the side of the shed by 75mm as per normal. A day after completing your shed roof make sure to go back and make sure that the adhesive has settled properly.
