GRP Fibreglass Roofing
GRP, or glass reinforced plastic, has emerged as one of the most commonly used flat roofing systems for residential properties during the last twenty years. It is applied as a liquid resin over fibreglass matting, which is subsequently finished with a topcoat. The outcome is a seamless, solid surface that offers excellent resistance to water, impact and UV deterioration.
GRP roofing offers an extended lifespan, usually exceeding 25 years when properly installed, and needs minimal maintenance after application. It is ideally suited to extension roofs, dormer roofs, garage roofs and balconies.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that is positioned over the roof deck in large sheets, secured with adhesive. Since it comes in wide rolls, it can frequently cover a roof with minimal or no seams, which minimizes the potential for water penetration at joints.
EPDM is flexible, long-lasting and performs well in temperature extremes, establishing it as a dependable long-term solution. It is especially favored on larger flat roof areas where achieving a seamless finish is more challenging with alternative systems.
Torch On Felt
Torch-on felt, alternatively known as modified bitumen sheeting, represents an improvement over conventional three-layer felt. The sheets are reinforced with polyester or fibreglass matting and are installed using a gas torch, which securely bonds each layer to the one beneath.
The outcome is a more resilient, durable finish compared to standard felt, with enhanced resistance to splitting and weathering. It is a commonly used system for both residential and commercial flat roofs and provides an excellent balance between cost and performance.
Liquid Applied Roofing
Liquid roofing systems involve the application of a liquid waterproofing coating directly onto the roof surface, which subsequently cures to create a seamless membrane. These systems are especially beneficial where a roof features complex detailing, penetrations or upstands that would be challenging to cover effectively with a sheet membrane.
Liquid-applied coatings can also be employed to prolong the lifespan of an existing roof surface, subject to the substrate’s condition. Multiple products exist within this category, and appropriateness depends on the particular roof.
