When it comes to roofing felt paper, there is a lot to learn. It can seem small and insignificant. However, there is an essential purpose for the quality and longevity of your roof. 
The Purpose of Roofing Felt
As moisture builds up in your home from cooking, showering in hot water, etc., that moisture and heat rise. It then goes through the material in your ceiling and towards your roof. Felt paper allows moisture to pass through and keeps it from touching the wood structure of your home. This prevents water from damaging the wood over time. Another reason for using felt on your roof is to provide a barrier between shingles and wood slats. Any excess sap is not suitable for asphalt shingles. Avoiding contact will help your roof to look better and last longer.
Do I Need Felt Paper For My Roof Overlayment?
No, you don’t need to put felt paper between layers of shingles.
What Size Felt Should I Use?
You’ll see multiple options for felt weight and density. Our recommendation is to use the 15 lb. Because roofing felt is protected from general wear and tear, using a heavier felt is usually not necessary. The exception would be if you are expecting your felt to endure extra wear and tear in an uncommon situation.
