An overview detailing GRP (fibreglass) roofing
GRP roofing, also known as fibreglass roofing, is a type of flat roofing system made from a combination of fibreglass reinforcement and polyester resin. It is a popular choice for both commercial and residential buildings due to its durability, versatility, and low maintenance requirements.
One of the main benefits of GRP roofing is its strength. The fibreglass reinforcing fibres give the roofing system added strength and stability, making it able to withstand extreme weather conditions and heavy loads. It is also resistant to UV radiation, making it suitable for use in sunny climates.
Another advantage of GRP roofing is its versatility. It can be easily moulded around complex roof angles and obstacles, making it suitable for use on roofs of all shapes and sizes.
In terms of maintenance, GRP roofing requires very little attention. It is resistant to water, rot, and algae, making it a low-maintenance option. It also has a long lifespan, with many systems lasting up to 50 years or more.
Installing GRP roofing is a straightforward process. The roofing system is typically installed in layers, with the first layer being a base resin applied to the roof surface. This is followed by a layer of fibreglass matting, which is then worked in with a layer of resin. The final layer is a topcoat, which is applied to protect the roof and give it a smooth, finished appearance.
Overall, GRP roofing is a reliable and cost-effective option for both commercial and residential buildings. Its strength, versatility, and low maintenance requirements make it a popular choice among builders and homeowners alike.

Fibrelast kits are a quick and easy way to get everything you need for your next roofing project. In this section, we look at the different options available when choosing your Kit.
Fibrelast kits go up to a maximum of 50m². If you have a roof bigger than this then please contact our technical support team who will create a custom kit, or you can order the individual items in the Fibrelast Store.
Fibrelast is available in four colours with Iron Grey being the standard finish. The other colours are made to order, so please allow an additional 3 working days for production.
There are three types of Fibrelast roofing kits all using different fibreglass reinforcement weights. The Standard Kit uses 450gm and is great for projects with no foot traffic whereas the High Density and Ultra High Density kits use 600gm and dual 450gm for a stronger finish.
Fibrelast as with any GRP Roofing system can only be applied to OSB decking for maximum adhesion. If you require a product that bonds to an existing surface then Fibrecoat or Overcoat are the best products suited for this type of project.
