Bitumen felt roof shingles are a classic choice for shed roof coverings and re-roofing a shed roof.

This is similar to a standard roofing felt and if you are choosing to use a membrane we would recommend felt over the IKO membrane. Although single layer felt roofs are available, felt roofing generally uses two or three sheets of modified bitumen felts. This is especially the case for roofs with a pitch below 10°. A three layer system is widely used as it increases the durability of the roof and its resistance to UV radiation.
