GRP FIBREGLASS
Fibreglass has been around for a long time and most people have an idea what fibreglass is but few know the full extent to which it is used. It is a very durable, strong material which has proven itself over and over again in such applications as life boats, onshore and offshore piping for oil and gas, garage doors, car body kits, wheel chair ramps, pools, spa's and baths, ladders signs and even a new bread of doors and windows said to take over from Upvc. The very same properties that make it so versatile are the properties that make it such a good product for your roof.
The fibreglass can be moulded to virtually any shape which makes it an ideal product for even the most complicated of roofs and because when complete the roof has no seems (unlike felt) water has nowhere to penetrate.
