The GRP (or fibreglass) flat roof system is one of the most widely used in the UK for both large commercial buildings and smaller domestic properties.

GRP is popular because of the range of installation options it offers, plus it lasts for a very long time and is a low-cost solution. Whether you want to replace an existing flat roof or build an entirely new one, talking to the Element team about a GRP roof solutions is a good first step.

There are several benefits of fibreglass flat roofing systems over other types of installation:

• GRP flat roofs are safer to install: Other types of roofing require the application of high levels of heat which can be damaging and sometimes dangerous if not properly applied. GRP flat roofs are applied cold using a special resin that cures when a catalyst is added.
• Fibreglass is suitable for any shape roof: The flexibility of GRP flat roofing means that it can easily be applied to both large areas and small as well as fit any design. Materials can be cut to the shape of the roof and the appropriate trims used to cover a surface effectively.
• GRP flat roofs are strong and durable: If you spend money on putting down a new roof, you want it to last. Fibreglass is one of the most durable materials in construction today which is why these systems tend to come with lengthy warranties of more than 20 years. Well maintained, you can realistically expect a Topseal applied flat roof to last a lifetime.

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.
