When a project requires a sturdier base than a lightweight utility felt, the G.A.P. G 30 Felt from A1A Wholesale Supply provides the extra heft and durability needed for a professional finish. This “30-pound” style felt is manufactured using a higher-density organic mat, allowing for deeper asphalt saturation and increased resistance to the elements.

The G 30 series is favored by roofing crews for its superior “lay-flat” characteristics. The additional weight of the roll helps prevent the material from curling or wrinkling on the deck, which reduces the risk of “telegraphing” imperfections through the finished shingles. Whether used for a residential re-roof or a new construction project, G 30 provides a tough, slip-resistant surface that stands up to foot traffic during the “dry-in” phase.
