Atlas provides a complete selection of roofing felts. These felts are asphalt saturated and are manufactured with a high-grade organic mat.

 RECOMMENDED USES

A specification grade felt used as a waterproof barrier between the roof deck and the shingles.
 

 INSTALLATION

General Installation Instructions for Atlas Felt Underlayments

Use saturated felt to provide a smooth surface on which to nail shingles and as temporary waterproofing in case of rain. A layer of felt must be applied to a wood deck to provide a vapor retarder between the wood deck and the asphalt fiberglass shingles. Without the felt layer, the wood planking or plywood deck - dried by heated temperatures found in most attics - will draw moisture (including tar and oils from the asphalt) from the shingles. The result will be shingles that are prematurely worn, cracked, brittle, as well as stuck to the wood surface when you attempt to remove them.
