Installation of a GRP Fibreglass Flat Roof

A fibreglass flat roof or GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) roofs are made up of the following materials. When installed by a professional team this stunning roof will last for years and years.

Roofing Topcoat – Roofing Resin – GRP Roofing Trims – Fibreglass matting

GRP Fibreglass flat roofing is created by wetting out layers of glass matting on the roof of the building. When fully cured the roof will provide a superb waterproof barrier and fantastic strength. Dependent on the footfall of your roof surface the weight of each layer can vary from 450g to 900g. After this the next stage of the process ensuring the resin has cured, is the application of a quality roofing topcoat. This adds a colour to the roof, but also acts as a sealant to secure the layers underneath. Red Kite Roofing install leading suppliers Cure It whose quality is completely unrivalled – do not accept cheaper alternatives.

Once this top coat has cured, your fibreglass roof will be both seamless and waterproof. One of the greatest attributes is that it is virtually maintenance free. Unlike many other roofing products, your fibreglass finished roof will not rot or smell. Another plus side is GRP surfaces are also much less likely to gather unsightly algae and moss. If there is ever debris on the roof it can be simply cleaned by brushing, hosing down or even a mop. The easy maintenance is a real bonus as it keeps it looking great all year round.
