Estimating & Workflow
15 felt
A lighter-weight roofing underlayment made from asphalt-saturated organic felt paper. It is rolled on over the roof deck and under the finished covering so the deck gets a second moisture barrier while the job is in progress. Felt underlayment comes in different weight classes, and 15 felt is the lighter grade used on many residential roofs.
