Roofing material aimed at protecting flat and pitched roofs with a durable, torch-applied mineral capsheet. Installers and homeowners can trust robust, weather-resistant layers for long service life when using NOVECRAFTO Torch-On Roofing Felt. Is the lifespan and ease of installation the right fit for your roof project?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Durability: SBS-modified bitumen and spun bond polyester deliver strong tensile resistance and flexibility
- • Best for: Final layer in torch-applied roofing systems for long-lasting protection
- • Not ideal for: Cold-lay or adhesive-only installations where torch application is not possible
SBS-modified mineral capsheet with a 200g spun bond polyester base for strength. Tensile ratings are 890 N/50mm longitudinally and 590 N/50mm transversely.
Long-lasting protection - thanks to SBS-modified bitumen and 200g spun bond polyester base
SBS-modified bitumen bonded to a 200g spun bond polyester base increases tensile strength and flexibility. Measured tensile strength is 890 N/50mm longitudinally and 590 N/50mm transversely, which helps resist tearing under load.
Robust membrane construction extends roof lifespan and resists damage from foot traffic and wind. Expect a durable cap layer that adds reliable mechanical strength to roofing assemblies.
Weather resistance in extremes - with mineral capsheet finish and cold bend flexibility
Mineral cap sheet surface provides UV and weather protection while SBS modification maintains flexibility at low temperatures. Cold bend performance is rated down to -5°C, reducing the risk of cracking in colder spells.
Effective across hot and cold conditions, offering watertight protection and tear resistance. Suitable for regions with temperature variation where thermal movement can stress membranes.
Secure adhesion on site - with torch-on installation and recommended underlay pairing
Installation is by heating the underside with a torch so the bitumen melts and bonds to the roof or underlay. Manufacturer recommends use with a sanded capsheet underlay beneath the mineral capsheet for best adhesion.
Forms a strong, watertight bond to the roof when installed correctly, delivering consistently sealed seams. Compatible with standard torch-applied roofing workflows used by professionals.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for NOVECRAFTO Torch-On Roofing Felt
- SBS-modified bitumen - Greater elasticity reduces tear and cracking in hot and cold weather
- 200g spun bond polyester base - High tensile strength withstands wind uplift and foot traffic
- Torch-on installation - Creates a watertight bond that secures seams and edges reliably
- Mineral capsheet finish - Adds UV resistance and protects membrane from surface wear

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the material be used in cold climates?
A: Cold bend flexibility is rated down to -5°C, so the membrane can flex in low temperatures without cracking within that range.
Q: How is installation carried out?
A: Cut to the required length and use a torch to heat and melt the bitumen so the membrane adheres; use a sanded capsheet underlay where recommended.
Q: How long will the capsheet protect the roof?
A: When installed correctly and used as the final layer in a torch-applied system, the mineral capsheet can enhance roof lifespan for up to 10 years.
🏆 Our Verdict
Suitable for contractors and homeowners who need a robust torch-applied cap sheet for final roof layers. High tensile strength, SBS modification and a mineral finish combine for reliable weather resistance and tear protection. While initial installation requires skilled torch application, the expected service life up to 10 years delivers strong long-term value.
