FAQs for flat roofing in Reading
GRP/Fibreglass is a newer roofing system that lends itself best to flat roofing but is also suitable for pitched roofs in some applications. Fibreglass is more durable than felt and stronger too. A fibreglass roof will last for more than 20 years and it’s less likely than felt to develop a fault
An EPDM rubber roof is an exceptionally durable roof made from synthetic rubber roofing membrane. An EDPM roof is usually fully adhered onto the flat surface and has a proven life expectancy of 50 years.
Flexi Proof EPDM rubber can be used on low pitched roofs. Our installers are experts in bonding the rubber membrane on low pitched roofs. We have successfully installed many EPDM rubber roofs onto pitched roofs.
Although fibreglass roofs are superior and much more resistant to heat, moisture, water and fire than alternative flat roofing materials meaning that they need much less maintenance as a result, they still require a level of maintenance and cleaning occasionally.
Initially yes, however, the long-term benefits will be obvious as it will outperform the felt roof – you won’t have to worry about replacing it again for a very long time.
A GRP Flat Roof, or fibreglass roofing as it’s also known, is one of the most popular flat roofing solutions in the UK. GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Polyester, a composite material formed by strengthening plastic with fine fibres made of glass.
There are approximately twenty, ranging from basic Standard 2mm felt to High Performance Polyester 6mm cap sheets.
This is not 100% necessary. New high-performance felts have a granular mineral finish to the top layer which acts as UV and Solar protection.
A professionally laid GRP fibreglass roof will last for at least 30 years with no measurable deterioration.
Costs will vary depending on several factors such as the size of the roof, what roofing material is chosen to cover the roof and the length of time, and the materials needed to complete the job. No two flat roofing jobs are the same. Contact us and we will be happy to provide a free site survey and a no obligation quote.
EPDM roofs offer a wealth of benefits that traditional roofing materials don’t offer. The main benefits are that they’re incredibly long lasting, extremely easy to maintain as moss and algae don’t grow on it and it’s environmentally friendly as the EPDM is made from recycled rubber and materials.
Because an EPDM rubber roof is made from rubber, the material cannot be affected by the sun’s UV rays as well as standard weather conditions such as snow, rain and wind. If maintained properly a rubber roof can last in excess of 50 years.
Costs will vary depending on the size of your roof, the thickness of the rubber you want to use, how accessible your roof is and the length of time it may take. Contact us and we will be happy to offer a free site survey and quote for your rubber flat roof.
The quality of the material selected for the roof and which way the roof faces in relation to the sun will determine this. On average, most good systems will last over 20 years.
Felt roofing is largely made up of modified bitumen combined with either fibreglass or polyester. Felt roofing often consists of several different layers of material that form together and are sealed at the edges, resulting in a tight and durable bond between your property and the outside elements.
There are several methods of applying a felt roof to a building, but the more common technique in modern times is to use a blowtorch to partially melt one side of the felt until it is sticky. This side is then stuck down.
