This Novecrafto Roofing Cap Sheet Roll is for property owners and DIY enthusiasts seeking reliable waterproofing for flat and low-pitched structures like sheds, garages, and extensions. Its key benefit is providing long-term protection against heavy rain and UK weather through a robust, polyester-reinforced, modified bitumen construction with UV-resistant charcoal bitumen finish. A potential caveat is that it requires a torch-on installation method, which may necessitate specific safety precautions and skills.

Its main purpose is to provide a durable, waterproof, and UV-resistant top layer for flat and low-pitched roofs, protecting structures like sheds, garages, and extensions from weather damage.
Torch-applied means the roofing felt is heated with a specialized roofing torch during installation. This melts the bitumen, allowing it to adhere strongly to the roof deck and form a seamless, waterproof membrane.
No, this cap sheet is specifically designed for flat and low-pitched roofs. It is not intended for steeply pitched roof applications.
Each roll measures 8m x 1m and covers an area of 8 square meters, accounting for standard overlaps during installation.
The charcoal bitumen finish provides excellent UV resistance, which helps to protect the roofing material from degradation caused by sunlight, thereby extending its lifespan and maintaining its protective qualities.
Yes, it is suitable for both trade professionals and DIY users. However, the torch-on application requires care, appropriate safety equipment, and a good understanding of the technique.
This roofing felt is CE and UKCA certified, indicating it meets established European and UK standards for quality and durability.
This can be caused by trapped moisture or overheating. Ensure the substrate is completely dry before application. Maintain a consistent, moderate heat from the torch, avoiding excessive application on one spot.
Ensure adequate heat was applied during torching to properly melt the bitumen and fuse the layers. Check that overlaps are the correct width (typically 100mm side, 150mm end laps) and fully sealed.
This may indicate insufficient heating during application, causing stress on the material, or the substrate may be unstable. For small tears, a patch repair using compatible bitumen and a torch can be effective. Larger issues may require re-application.
Ensure the roof has adequate falls (slopes) to allow water to drain away. Check for blockages in drainage outlets or gutters. If pooling is persistent, the roof structure may need adjustment to improve drainage.
Setup: This roofing cap sheet is designed for a torch-on application. Ensure the roof substrate is clean, dry, and sound. Roll out the felt and partially secure it. Using a roofing torch, heat the underside of the felt and the substrate simultaneously, then press the felt into the molten bitumen. Overlap subsequent courses according to manufacturer recommendations (typically 100mm side laps and 150mm end laps) and ensure full adhesion by melting the laps with the torch.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on flat and low-pitched roof structures, including sheds, garages, and extensions. It is designed to be a cap sheet, typically applied over a compatible underlayment.
Care: Regularly inspect the roof surface for any signs of damage, debris accumulation, or potential water pooling. Clear any leaves or debris promptly. Periodically check for any lifting or damage around edges or seams, especially after severe weather. If minor damage is found, it can often be repaired with compatible bitumen repair products.
