Why the 3-Layer Torch-On Felt System Is Ideal for Flat Roofs

Flat Roof Installations

If you’re looking for a durable, cost-effective, and long-lasting solution for your flat roof, the 3-layer torch-on felt roofing system is hard to beat. At Marlow Roofing Company, we specialise in fitting high-quality felt roofs for garages, extensions, dormers, and more – with all work fully guaranteed.

What Is a 3-Layer Torch-On Felt Roof?

This modern system is made up of three key layers of bitumen-based felt, each heat-bonded to form a seamless, watertight finish. It’s installed using a gas torch, which melts the layers together, making the system strong, weatherproof, and built to last.

How the 3-Layer System Is Installed

  1. Roof Preparation
    We start by removing any old materials and repairing damaged decking. The surface is cleaned and primed to ensure perfect adhesion.
  2. Base Layer – Venting Sheet
    This bottom layer allows any moisture to escape from below, reducing the risk of trapped condensation and blistering.
  3. Underlay – Reinforced Felt
    A middle layer of tough, reinforced felt adds durability and acts as an extra waterproof barrier.
  4. Cap Sheet – Mineral Finish
    The final top layer has a UV-resistant mineral surface, providing protection from sun, rain, and daily wear and tear.
  5. Edge Sealing & Trims
    All seams, edges, and corners are sealed and detailed for a professional, watertight finish. Trims and drip edges ensure water flows away cleanly.
