"hi good morning the answer to your question is I personally don’t really recommend them myself we have stopped doing them in the last few years as I found they just didn’t last I personally think either mineral felt or even a new rubber system is quite good"

"in my personel opinion not a good thing they dry rock hard and have been known to slit as they are fully bonded to the roof decking boards and do not allow for any movement also anyone can buy this product off the self with no roofing experiance or training
trust this helps
