GRP Fibreglass Roofing

The pictures below depict a typical fibreglass roofing system being constructed from start to finish. A good quality GRP roof should last a minimum of 20 years, but done correctly by a reputable and experienced roofer it ­should­ easily exceed this. ­

The roof is plywooded out leaving 3-5mm expansion joins between each board.

All fascia boards are finished level with the plywood roof. A baton is then nailed around the perimeter of the roof.

After the roof is solid, a resin top coat is applied to give the roof its final coat.

We always opt for a dark grey top coat as it weathers better and looks far neater.
