What is a

GRP Flat Roof?


GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Polyester, more commonly known as fibreglass. The process of using this for flat roofing has been around for more than 60 years. It is a system that has developed quite a lot over the last 20 years and today’s cold-applied systems are durable and cost-effective.

Our Britelite GRP flat roof replacement system is one of the best in the UK and is used on both domestic properties and commercial properties throughout the Southeast.

Fibreglass roofing can be laid in a relatively short time compared to other flat roofing solutions and can cover small and large areas.

What Are The Benefits

of a GRP Flat Roof Replacement?

There are several benefits of a fibreglass flat roof replacement system over other types of materials:

Because there are no seams in the roof and an effective waterproof covering is used, there is little opportunity for cracks to develop causing leaks, even after many years. If repairs are needed at any point, the whole roof can remain intact and specific areas treated. That makes it cost-effective even in the long term.

How is a GRP Flat Roof Installed?

Compared to some other roofing systems, a GRP flat roof is relatively easy to install. It uses a cold application of resin that is layered between fibreglass matting to create a waterproof and durable covering.

Because the method is so quick, large areas such as warehouses and industrial buildings can be covered in a relatively short time. The fact that this is all cold applied means there are no health and safety issues.

Is a GRP Flat Roof Better

Than Other Roofing Solutions?

There are other flat roofing systems such as reinforced bitumen, asphalt and EPDM. All of these have their good and bad points. Bitumen, for example, requires heat to apply and can be difficult to repair in patches but it is durable.

GRP flat roofs are easy to put down, durable and long-lasting which means that they have a big advantage over other systems. Because they can be laid in a relatively short time and have competitive costing attached to them, they are also the most popular kind of flat roofing seen in the UK.

Should I Get a

GRP Flat Roof Kit?

You can buy DIY GRP flat roof kits that are obviously cheaper than a professional installation, however this can often prove to be false economy.

Being in the UK the weather usually isn’t on our side, particularly with the extreme Winter’s we have endured over recent years, everything from snow to gale force winds has hit us, and your roof needs to be durable enough to deal with these elements.

DIY roof kits do not usually come with any form of warranty. When it comes to your roof and keeping your property secure from the elements, a Britelite installation is the solution of choice for those wanting peace of mind.
