10 x Felt Support Eaves Protectors 1.5mtrsFascia Sagging Roof Felt Protection
The Eaves Protectors designed predominately for replacement of old perished felt at eaves level caused by the sagging and subsequent ponding of water.
The Eaves protector should be pushed under existing felt in refurbishment situations.
Alternatively in new build situations felt should be dressed over the tray. The support tray should be positioned on top of the fascia boards and secured to the roof trusses. Joints should be overlapped by minimum of 150mm.
Eaves Protection Boards
The Eaves Protection Board (EPS), or Felt Support Tray, has been designed to provide a long-term solution to the problems associated with eaves decay under the roof, including the degradation of felt and the secondary rotting of rafter timbers and roof structures.
Also know as the Felt Support Tray, this product is now widely used by roofing contractors along with replacement UPVC fascia installers at eaves level (as detailed in the image below).

Why do I need Felt Support Trays
All felt should dress down into the guttering, so any rain that gets past the tiles runs down the top of the felt and drains into the guttering away from the building.
Older felt is not UV stable so will rot where the felt is exposed to the sun and break down its structure allowing water to penetrate behind the fascia boards and possibly causing damage to the rafters and any timber fascias.
Eaves protectors must be installed with the felt running over the top of them. We would recommend the eaves protector is combined with a Over fascia Vent unless you already have a well ventilated roof - most roofs are not well ventilated. Ideally ridge venting or tile vents would also be installed.
The eaves protector or felt support trays a low cost solution to dripping felt or for felt that as rotted in time, and can eliminate problems in later years. We recommend that when ever replacing fascia boards that the eaves protection system is put in place.
