Flat roof project: OSB preparation and torch-on felt finish

A roof is only as reliable as the underlying preparation and the details at its edges. This job shows a new deck prepared for the roof covering, followed by the application of a torch-on felt system.

Boarding and substrate

Boarding was prepared as the substrate for the felt roofing system. The deck must be suitably supported, sound and dry before a covering is installed.

Installing the weatherproof covering

Torch-on felt is applied in layers and overlapped to form the finished membrane system. Correct products, preparation, application and fire precautions matter during this type of roofing work.

Roof edges and junctions

The upstands, perimeter details, roof falls and the termination of the felt are as important as the open field of the roof. Those junctions are where many flat-roof problems begin.
