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.

I await comments with keen anticipation....

We have a GRP balcony, and it has been fine for about 7 years now.

Can't remember the supplier - if I find the papers I will give the details.

Also a more simple GRP roof on the room over the garage - this is just GRP
matting over exterior ply but it seems to be doing O.K.
I replaced the ceiling recently and the underneath of the roof looked fine.

IMHO much better that the traditional roofing felt.

P.S. if it is done properly it shouldn't split - there would be a lot of
unhappy sailors otherwise.

They make boat and cars out of the stuff, the material is 100% when
done corectly, of cource if you have an idiot fit it your roof may
still leak.

Hi,

Does the guarentee include the edging and where it joins the existing
property?

Also it would be intersting to know what weight of mat or roving they
use in the fibreglass layer and/or how thick the fibreglass is.

cheers,
Pete.
