Case Study: GRP Installation

Although a flat roof may sound straightforward, it is important that a quality installation is carried out to ensure the durability of your roof. At RG Leverett, we have more than three decades of experience installing flat roofing systems. There are a number of excellent flat roofing systems on the market that offer customers longevity and security. Before we carry out any work, we will make a thorough assessment of your roof, so we can recommend the best roofing system for you. In this week’s blog, we’re showing off one of our recent GRP (fibreglass) installations.

Robust Fibreglass

The roof depicted here utilises ‘warm roof’ technology with a GRP (fibreglass) roofing system. GRP stands for 'Glass Reinforced Plastic'. To achieve the ‘warm roof’, the insulation is installed above the rafters. The GRP roofing is created from polyester resin, reinforced by chopped strand mat glass fibres to form a durable and lightweight composite material.

Client Specification

This roof has been finished in RAL 7016 (anthracite grey) and achieves a very satisfactory energy efficiency rating of U Value 0.18. This is a highly durable system that will last for more than 25 years. We are so confident of this that we’ll offer a full 25-year guarantee.
