GRP
stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic which is the technical name
for the commonly known material Fibreglass. Fibreglass is a mixture
of polyester resin and glass reinforcement. This is then cured
and given an additional coat of coloured resin, known as the topcoat.
The topcoat is added to enhance appearance and performance.
A
fibreglass roof consists of three layers.
-
Conditioned
plywood or Sterling Board OSB3.
-
Fibreglass
known as laminate.
-
Topcoat.
This
is the only fully bonded system available, others are nailed or
laid onto the roof. A fibreglass roof cannot be cut with a knife,
making it much more secure than other systems.
Fibreglass
is renowned for its strength, appearance, weather resistance ability
and longevity making it the best choice for roofing. It is maintenance-free,
requires no painting and can be refurbished if you ever want to
change the colour.
A
fibreglass roof lasts for at least 20 years and many, more than
30 years. A fibreglass roof is a continuous membrane meaning it
has no joins, welds or seams, unlike felt roofs or modern membrane
systems which are potential points of failure. It replaces lead
and holds no value to thieves.
