Looking for info about roofing felt
There is 1 message in this section.

Gordon Macdonald from Vancouver Island, Canada. Posted 3 Jun 2005.
I'm working with the New Zealand based organization Antarctic Heritage Trust to conserve Sir Ernest Shackleton's historic hut on Ross Island in Antarctica. This hut was originally made in UK, and the roof was covered with a brown fibrous material that may have been made from jute. The original specification called for a product called Stoniflex Felt. Our team would like to find a match for this felt, and I wonder if anyone has heard about this material or has any information that may help us restore this important historic building to its former glory.
