What is fibreglass roofing?
Fibreglass roofing can potentially outlive the building it covers. It makes use of glass reinforced polyester and is therefore also called GRP. GRP is made by adding glass fibres to polyester resin, layering the fibres in alternate directions to achieve the desired strength and rigidity. It creates a very strong and light material that is naturally watertight. It is not affected by ‘diminishing repairability’ in the way other roofing membranes are – repairs can be made just as simply after several decades of use. Fibreglass roofing is also attractive and suitable for a wide variety of roof coverings.
