GRP flat roof question
 

depending on what you want to use the roof for, you might consider
rubberized asphalt, also called "rubber" and "torched on" roofing. It has
a fibreglass core. I don't know flexible it is, especially in winter. I
don't walk on mine. The local shpping center has it on their two level
parking garage, regular asphalt over the rubber. Not expensive.

I am thinking of spending quite a lot of money on a new GRP flat roof for my
garage/balcony and would welcome comments, good or bad on this system. A
pal of mine says he has read bad reports of splitting etc - can anybody
confirm or deny this?

Specifically I am intending to place an order with The Flatroof Company
www.flatroof.co.uk for their 'Tuffdeck' system. I would welcome comments
from anyone with experience of this company.


All comments appreciated....

You would probably do better to ask your question in a construction
based newsgroup such as alt.building.construction , where
you might find people who have used the
material in question in it's specified application. There are a lot of
"new"
ideas "out there". You might want to try an find someone who has used in
the right
application, installed correctly. You don't want to be the guinea pig.

The problem most likely is with your computer. The page is almost all
Flash (and nicely done, in my humble opinion) except for the web
designer's name at bottom. Most new computers come with Flash, but
older ones may not have it.

AH! OK. Thanks.

They need to detect and say so perhaps. I don't have Flash, and ignore
pages that demand it.

Then again. I ignore the page one way or another I guess G

Of course, Flash is great if you have broadband, but us dial-up folks just get
to look at tiny fill bars moving veerrrryyyyyy slowly. Boring!

GRP flat roof question
 

Hi ,

I GRP'd a garage roof about 5 years ago...........
To date it is still perfect...getting ready for a clean but that's all.

I did it myself with materials from Glassplies in southport.....run out a little
bit more than buying normal roof felt.

We spent a rather pleasant day...mixing BUCKETS of resin...made a pleasant
change from teh usual jamjar ful.

I would definetly recommend.

Yes. I resent it the way I resent everybody using PDF to send me 20
words in a 100K package! G
