Estimating & Workflow
30 felt
A heavier asphalt-saturated organic felt underlayment, thicker than the lighter grade. It offers more tear resistance and more protection while work is underway, so it is often chosen for steeper roofs or where the deck will sit exposed longer before the finished covering is applied. It is measured and priced the same way as other felt underlayment.
