Application
IKO Undertile Felt should be installed in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5534: 2003, Code of practice for
slating and tiling. IKO Undertile Felt should be fixed horizontally along the slope. It is recommended that IKO Eaves

the winter months it should be stored between 10C and 20C for 24 hours prior to use and not applied at temperatures
below 5C. If applied at temperatures below 10C the membrane should be warmed gently with a hot air gun at details that
involve folding.
Vertical laps should be a minimum of 100mm and should be supported over a rafter. Horizontal laps will vary depending on
