Product Information

Waterproof and durable:flat roofs that are constructed using GRP are incredibly durable and 100% waterproof. The durability and water resistance of GRP puts this product slightly ahead of other materials which are commonly used on flat roofs. To lend a hand, at Roofing Superstore we put together an in-depth guide to your leaking flat roof repair options.

Low maintenance:Unlike other flat roofing materials, GRP is like having one huge GRP membrane spread across the roof. One single membrane eliminates the need for welds and ceiling joints, which would be a natural weakness.Root penetration is not a problem for rubber membrane. Its excellent waterproofing properties make it ideal in the construction of green roofs (see below). Longevity: 15 years, potentially lower or higher depending on conditions, wear-and-tear, and how well your felt shed roof is maintained.

Unfortunately, a flat roof replacement on an extension costs more. If patching an extension roof is not viable, then it would be worth paying for a new flat roof installation. The last thing you want is for your house to be flooded whenever it rains. GRP is a material commonly used for flat roofing. GRP ensures that a flat roof remains free of leaks and stays in good condition. Installation: Fitting an EPDM membrane onto a flat roof is fairly straightforward, especially thanks to the complete system of accessories and fixings provided by manufacturers. Due to every job having different project specifications, prices can vary significantly drastically. The cost of raw materials such as lead is a significant factor.Appearance: Whilst not offering the grand aesthetics of pitched roofing materials such as traditional tiles, roofing felt will still offer a smart, clean finish when installed correctly, with multiple colour options available. Expanded polystyrene is made by mixing it together with a unique foaming agent. When heat is applied to the material begins to expand and traps the warmth. The thermal resistance of expanded polystyrene is measured at 3.80, which is lower than the thermal resistance of extruded polystyrene, which has a thermal resistance of 5. As you can see, choosing the extruded polystyrene would be the best choice for insulating a flat roof.

Another common source of leaks in GRP flat roofs is flashing. Repairing a GRP roof with this issue requires you to laminate down chopped strand matting. Glass reinforced plastic (or GRP be short) is a technical term for fibreglass. Fibreglass was first developed in 1938, and it was intended to be used as insulation. However, fibreglass has many different uses and is used in a lot of different industries. GRP is very hard-wearing, extremely versatile, and waterproof. GRP is a perfect roofing material because of these qualities. If you’re not particularly keen on the standard colour of GRP, there are various colour options available. You also have the option of adding a nonslip surface after installation. GRP has proven to be a good choice flat roofing material, and it is an excellent alternative to traditional roof materials.

How much does refelting a roof cost? Built-up roofs are roofs that are made up of multiple layers of different materials. These often include alternating layers of reinforced bitumen and fabric, before a final layer of stone or gravel on top. It is a very common roofing material for flat roofs due to the increased lifespan it provides.
