Flat roofs are a particular area of expertise for us. Thanks to our time spent in the roofing industry, we’ve gained sufficient experience and knowledge to be able to work with various forms of flat roofing. For instance, we are capable of using all of the following materials for our new flat roofing installations:
Whether it’s EPDM rubber roofs or torch-on felt roofs, there’s a material to suit all of our customers' needs. In this blog post, we would like to focus on GRP fibreglass roofs and highlight why this is a good choice for new flat roofing.
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) fibreglass combines resin with glass or fibrous strands to make a reinforced roofing material. As a result, there are no gaps or weak spots in the roofing that could lead to roof leaks under heavy weather. By design, GRP fibreglass is a low-maintenance option for flat roofs. Other than giving it the occasional clean, residents in Southampton and Winchester with a well-installed GRP fibreglass roof barely need to tend to it at all.
For other forms of flat roofing, the seams of the roof can be a place where bubbling and faults occur. When damaged, water ingress can become a problem for these flat roofing systems. But what if your flat roof has no seams? Well, if you have a GRP fibreglass roof, you have nothing to worry about. Thanks to their seamless installation, you can instead enjoy a smooth roofing surface in which rain runs off easily.
Considering the points we’ve already made regarding their design, is it any surprise that GRP fibreglass flat roofs are extremely durable? Any customer in Southampton or Winchester who has one of these roofs installed can expect it to last at least 25 years. Some GRP roofs have even been known to last over five decades. Thanks to the long lifespan of this form of roofing, you can get excellent value for money on your investment. Although it may cost more to install than other flat roofing materials, the longevity and low maintenance of GRP fibreglass can make it a more cost-effective option for your property.
