What is GRP Flat Roofing?
What Does GRP Stand For?
It stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic. It is essentially made from polyester that has sliced mat glass fibres, this forms what is known as GRP laminate. This material is very light whch makes it great to work with and it is very strong too which really helps against the elements a roof may experience. This material ws used on boats first, the guy who first came up with this material went by the name of Russel Games, this was way back in 1938 fast forward to today and it’s possibly a builders / roofers ost used material. One of the great benefits of GRP is that it’s so strong, it can be molded to any shape which is ideal for the many different roofing types a roofer may encounter on the job.

Should You choose a Fibreglass Roof? Does it last long?
How Long Do Fiberglass Roofs Last?
When layering a fibreglass roof the professionals usually lay between one or two layers. Whilst the majority of Fibreglass roofs last 20 to 25 years, we find that when the roof is well maintained it can last a lot longer. Fibreglass is great to protect against damage meaning the frquency of repairs are a lot less however this does come with an increased price tag as it’s one of the more expensive material options vailable. Another fantastic advantage of having a fireglass roof is how good it protects against the elements. We recommend you find the budget for a fibreglass roof as it is well worth the money and looks fantastic.
