Fibreglass roofing makes an excellent waterproof coating for both flat and inclined roofs and, with a lifespan of over 20 years, the cost-effectiveness of fibreglass roofing in Cornwall is just one of the reasons which make it ever more popular. If you want a roofing material that is strong, lightweight and durable, fibreglass (also known as GRP roofing or Glass Reinforced Plastic) is the choice for you.
Fibreglass roofing installation examples
Fibreglass roofing is structured from a slim glass fibre including silica, which is then blended together to make it strong. Once laid, a durable topcoat is rolled over the top creating a fully sealed surface and, if it’s installed correctly by a fibreglass roofing specialist like Giant Roofing, water cannot penetrate. Fibreglass roofing in Cornwall is perhaps so common because it is the material of choice for the hulls sailing boats and yachts, meaning that it is tough and resilient against Cornwall’s salty sea air.
Adoption of fibreglass roofing was hindered in the early days by poor fibreglass roof installation practices, but over the past 10 years interest in GRP fibreglass roofs have really taken off. Fibreglass roofing is a great choice for flat roofs in Cornwall and Devon for many reasons, as listed below:
