Fibreglass Roof

FIBREGLASS roof services

When it comes to selecting a roofing material for your home or business premises, sometimes the actual roof itself has a lot to say about what is best. The pitch of the roof can often indicate what roofing material works best with it along with the size of the slate or tile used.

The roof pitch is the angle of the roof. For example, a flat roof has zero degrees’ gradient though some roofs under 15 degrees are also classed as flat. A pitched roof is usually between 15 and 70 degrees with the most common figure in the UK between the 50-60-degree mark. Anything over 70 degrees is more of a wall than a roof!

Other advantages to fibreglass roofing is that the material can come in a range of different colors and finishes. It also doesn’t require any heat treatment to lay it on a roof, meaning there is much less risk to the installer and the general public as well as reducing the chance of any secondary damage from the use of heat. The material can even have a non-slip coating applied to it if the flat roof is going to walked upon, making it a popular choice for roof balconies, walkways or other areas of this type.

Roofs for all weather conditions

Here in the UK, one of the first things we ask of any roofing material is what is it like in the adverse weather conditions. We want to know how well it can resist the rain, if the cold winters will damage it or if we get some sunshine, if this has an adverse effect. The good news is that with fiberglass roofing, none of these issues have an impact. It can even withstand dilute acid rain conditions.
