I’m a DIYer and did my own garage roof in GRP a few years ago, was easy enough and been perfect since. There are lots of places where corners could be cut, follow the instructions to the letter and you get good results.

Very generous with the resin. If you buy their estimate for i.e. 20sqm, make sure you double the quantity based on the thorough guidance this gives you....

if you get a fibreglass flat roof installed get this firm to do it .or another good roofing firm a lot people who do these roofs look at a video like this 15 mins long and just slap the fibreglass down . no reinforcing joints ,no fluffy edges no gadget to see the temperature i know i rip a lot of these up were there not done well .

The product is probably good, but make sure you get a FLAT roofing contractor to do the roof. I’ve put loads of fibre glass roofs in the skip, mainly due to the installer not using enough material and don’t have a clue how to do detail work.

I do believe you need to strengthen the joint first then place matt and resin, and I add masking tape to prevent from leaking of resin

I don't like it i prefer a more flexible approach as the timber is always moving.. i used that lava 20 i thought it was an excellent job and easy to use.. and doesn't stink the place out..

As a roofer I have come across so many leaky fibreglass roof systems. I just don’t trust them and never recommend anyone to have them installed. Much prefer single ply, rubber or resitrix

A customer of mine had a fibreglass roof done which indeed leaked. 3 times they came out to try and fix it.

The problem is with a lot of the older GRP no flexibility we’re this has and bad installation is the main reason all the best Tony 👍

only reason fibre glass leaks is poor installation

@@stuartjones2242And bad advice videos on KZfaq making out it’s easy to do when it’s not easy. You can’t learn how to fibreglass off a video just you you can’t learn to be a nuclear engineer by watching KZfaq videos. Trades like this take years to learn and perfect.

@@GRPLiningServices just like in your videos its more hints and tips to help. We both know its not as easy as it looks and it takes time but everyone has to start somewhere dont you agree??

Hi all I've bought all the equipment to start my fiberglass roof on my garage . I've bought 18mm osb3 . My only trouble is there doesn't seem to be a rough side both sides seem very smooth? Should I sand it or try and return it thanks in advance

@scottyjimbo9883 4 ай бұрын

Could I just add the bourds I've bought are kronospan ?

@user-uw1sx3xt1e 5 ай бұрын

Can I use this system to add an additional layer to an existing GRP roof?

@BuildWithAE 5 ай бұрын

No but if you ask their Tec team their might be a possibility

@ianproudfoot5415 7 ай бұрын

If it's so important to leave a 3mm gap between boards, what prevents the resin from filling the gap?

@stuartjones2242 7 ай бұрын

the matting

@ianproudfoot5415 7 ай бұрын

I doubt it. Unless the resin is used very sparingly...

@petersmrek7617 7 ай бұрын

He should use first masking tape to prevent resin leak down, then some tape to strengthen the join like drywall tape and then matt+resin

@kevocos Ай бұрын

He is using OSB3 therefore I imagine the resin cant pass through the joint

@GRPLiningServices 7 ай бұрын

Styrene breaking down the resin? You joking? The resin breaks the binder down that holds the glass strands together.

Correct.
