What are the benefits of a GRP fibreglass roofing system?

GRP fibreglass roofing systems have quickly become the material of choice for many flat roofs. Originally discovered in the last 1940s, GRPs corrosive-proof properties, strength and appearance meant it was quickly adopted during the 1950s and 60s for a wide range of applications including boat building. In recent years people have recognised the cost benefits of using GRP for their roofing. It has always been widely recognised that traditional felt roofing systems require regular replacements, whilst copper and lead alternatives are even more expensive. In addition to cost, other benefits of GRP roofing include:

• Versatility: GRP fibreglass is one of the most versatile roofing systems currently available and can be used for balconies, terraces and walkways. It is also one of the best choices of irregular roof shapes and can be applied right up to skylights, vents, walls and pipes.
• Durability: Having been used for an extensive range of applications over the last 60 years, GRP has been proven to last. A roof of this kind can last for at least 20 years, if not longer, making it a stronger alternative to traditional felt roofing systems.

Our team of roofers at RG Leverett are experts in the installation, repair and replacement of GRP roofing and the systems we installed have all been quality tested by the British Board of Agrement (BBA) who found it to be technically superior to all other fibreglass roofing systems currently available on the market.
