Pour and Roll felts are traditional membranes that are applied by pouring hot molten bitumen onto the roof surface and then rolling the felt into it straight after. Then, pressure is applied to make sure that the felt and bitumen are thoroughly bonded. This creates a strong and waterproof seal. This whole process is then repeated for each layer of felt. The pour and roll method can be used for flat roofs, and for both new and remedial roofing projects.
