GRP Glass-Reinforced Plastic Roofs

About GRP Glass-Reinforced Plastic Roofs

Providing a both strong and light solution, GRP flat roofing systems utilise a combination of resin and fibre glass, delivering excellent weatherproofing properties.

Orchard Roofing & Building have many years of experience installing GRP roofs. GRP Glass Reinforced Plastic Roofs, otherwise known as fibreglass roofing, is an excellent method of providing a weather-proof flat roof that often lasts in excess of 25 years.

The coating is cold applied and cures within a short period of time, resulting in a weatherproof, visually appealing (joint-free) and maintenance-free roof. A number of colour options are available, and the coating is both durable and UV-resistant. Further, GRP Fibreglass roofs are well suited to complex roof shapes.

While used more commonly in Commercial applications, GRP roofs are also suitable for domestic use on garages, extensions or any kind of flat roof. Whilst slightly more expensive than traditional tar or felt roofs, a GRP roof offers a long term solution to waterproofing your property with a stunning finish.

GRP Glass-Reinforced Plastic is an advanced and modern roof and roofing construction material also known as glass fibre-reinforced plastic (GFRP). It is a fibre-reinforced polymer manufactured combining a plastic matrix reinforced by fine glass fibres. The advantages of GRP roofing are significant and include its lightweight nature, its strength, its low maintenance qualities, the possibility of integrated insulation to reduce heat loss, plus its speed of handling and installation that helps reduce costs. This roofing 'laminate' is also non-corrosive, non-conductive, weather resistant and comes in a variety of finishes, surface textures, colour ranges and shapes.

As an alternative to traditional roofing materials and building methods, Orchard Roofing and Building find GRP an ideal building material for roofs, one-piece conservatory roofs, over-door canopies and single piece porch roofs, porches and can provide both excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.
