Flexi-Shed Polyester

HDPE Film Backed Polyester Shed Felt
HDPE Film Backed Polyester Shed Felt
Suitable for Non Habitable Buildings
Available In 10m & 20m Rolls

PRODUCT USE
Primarily intended for use as an economical
weatherproofing membrane for sheds, non-habitable
garden buildings and animal Shelters. The polyester carrier
results in a stronger and more durable product compared
with standard shed felt, it also increases life expectancy of the
product although this varied greatly due to expose to weather
elements and quality of installation.

COMPOSITION AND MANUFACTURE
The base carrier consists of a high strength polyester
sheet which is coated both sides in modified bitumen.
The coated material is finished with a fine mineral granule
on one side to aid UV protection and a thin HDPE film lower
surface on the reverse. The membrane is cut to roll
length, wrapped and labelled according to specification and
customer requirement.

INSTALLATION
Flexi-Shed Polyester can be used as a Single layer, but for
best performance install over a suitable underlay which should
be nailed onto the substrate. The Shed felt should then
be installed using clout Nails and felt adhesive to seal the
laps (75mm min). Start from the eaves (lengthwise), work
upwards and finish with overlaying the ridge.When installed as
a single layer the minimum Pitch of the roof should be
greater than 20 degrees. Membranes coated with
oxidised bitumen remain flexible above 5°c. During colder
periods care must be taken when handling and installing
as to prevent cracking of the bitumen and damaging the
membrane.
It is not recommended to use below 5°c.

STORAGE & HANDLING
Do not drag rolls across rough surfaces, they should be lifted.
They should be stood on their end on a dry
surface. If using pallets do not stack more than
2 high. Avoid mechanical damage and wet storage
conditions. During colder periods it is recommended
that rolls are stored at a temperature above 10°c for
24 hours prior to use, and not unrolled, folded or used in
temperatures below 5°c.
