It is commonly referred to as No. 15 Felt Perforated.(b) Type 2 – plain, non-perforated roofing felt used as an underlayment beneath asphalt shingles, wood shakes and shingles, tiles, and other steep slope roof coverings. It is commonly referred to as No. 15 Plain Felt.(c) Type 3 – plain, non-perforated roofing felt used as an underlayment beneath asphalt shingles, wood shakes and shingles, tiles, and other steep slope roof coverings. It is commonly referred to as No. 30 Plain Felt.
