    Fibreglass Roofing Kits

    Universal corners aren't essential but they will save you time, especially if it's your first job and you don't want the hassle of forming corners from glass. What decking are you using? if you don't use tongue and groove boards then you'll need to tape the seams using fibreglass bandage

    Is this GRP roof of an acceptable standard?

    That doesn't look good and I would get them back to fix that, exposed fibreglass anywhere on the roof is not a good thing

    Is this GRP roof of an acceptable standard?

    Not sure because of the picture and my eyes are not what they were but is that muck on the top surface (20170909_161716) on the third picture or the white of the fibreglass laminate showing through under the topcoat? if it's the fibreglass you can see then they haven't applied enough topcoat...

    Liquid polyeurethane

    Liquid polyurethanes tend to come in two versions; a one pot wonder that overcoats or repairs the existing surface (These don't usually come with a guarantee) and then the full blown all singing all dancing versions that have either a fibreglass or a polyester reinforcement. Upsides to...

    Some questions How many square metres do you need to cover and what are you covering (garage, extension etc...)? Do you have any liquid polyurethane systems in mind? Are you going over the existing surface or putting new decking down?

    Liquid Acrylic Products for Flat Roof Refurb (not leak repair)

    What is on your roof currently? I think you'll find that most of the Acrylic based products will be manufactured from the same company or have virtually the same recipe, but with different labels on the tin, so the better known the brand the higher the price tends to be.

    Flat roof - south facing

    How many square metres does the new roof cover? and did the Architect specify a particular brand of fibreglassing system? Some are more flexible than others and a south facing roof is going to get the sun (if we ever have a summer again in the UK) so thermal expansion might, if not already needs...
