Fibreglass as a flat roofing solution

Fibreglass is a major material used in roofing. But, why is it so popular compared to traditional substances such as felt?

Here are some of the advantages:

• Fibreglass can last 4x longer than traditional roofing felt
• Can be designed/altered in various colours to match existing architecture
• It is completely watertight as there are no seams/gaps
• Fibreglass has various properties + can be made non-slip if need be
• Can be highly energy efficient when used in conjunction with insulation

Due to all of the advantages of fibreglass, it really makes you think ‘why is felt still used as a roofing material‘. Even more technological matters, such as rubber is flawed as it will rely on glued seams.

Choose fibreglass for a suitable, sustainable solution for your flat roof

Wherever there is a seam, there is chance that water can penetrate here and quite often, when you notice the damage, it is often too late.
