What kind of machine is used to apply felt on a steep slope?

• A. Roller-type felt layer
• B. Pneumatic sander
• C. Nail gun
• D. Manual brush

Answer: (A)

When applying roofing felt on a steep slope, you want a tool that can lay down long, straight strips quickly and press the felt firmly into the adhesive across the roof surface. A roller-type felt layer is designed for this purpose, with a built-in roller that presses and adheres the felt as you move, ensuring even coverage, correct overlaps, and efficient progress on steep roofs. This makes it the best choice for steep-slope underlayment. The other tools aren’t suited for applying felt: a pneumatic sander smooths or sands surfaces, not for laying felt; a nail gun attaches materials but doesn’t apply felt; a manual brush would be too slow and labor-intensive for large roof areas and wouldn’t provide the consistent adhesion and coverage needed.
