Topseal GRP flat roofing systems are the ideal choice to cover balconies and roof terraces. The standard 600 Gram GRP fibreglass covering is ideal for light domestic use, but when heavier foot traffic is the norm for example on hotel and commercial sites then we would specify a double top laminate. The double top can be either two layers of 450 gram fibreglass or on recent installations for Ramada Jarvis Hotels we have installed two layers of 600 Gram fibreglass reinforcement, providing a 1200 Gram M2 non slip laminate.

The photo below is of domestic GRP fibreglass installation of a property in Willesden, London. The transformation is clear in these before and after shots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The old felt roof covering was removed along with the water damaged roof deck. The existing structural joists were rotten in places and had to be replaced with new treated timbers. A new fully insulated warm roof was constructed by Advanced Roofing Solutions and a 600 Gram GRP fibreglass laminate was installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GRP fibreglass flat roof coverings provide a completely seamless membrane, unlike roofing felt, single ply and EPDM which are either heat welded or chemically fixed in corner and up stand details.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dressing around the railings was tricky and could only have been done with a liquid / resin system, susch as Topseal GRP.

The roof terrace below was installed with a non slip finish at the rear of the shops in Uckfield, East Sussex for a local builder.
