Flat Roof Installation

Whether you’re a contractor, architect, or homeowner, our flat roof systems are engineered to meet the highest standards of performance and durability.

What is a GRP Flat Roof?

A GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) flat roof is a composite roofing system made from layers of fibreglass matting and resin. Once cured, it forms a solid, waterproof surface ideal for domestic and commercial applications. GRP is especially popular for flat roofs due to its:

  • Seamless finish – no joints means no leaks.
  • UV resistance – protects against sun damage.
  • Low maintenance – no need for regular upkeep.
  • Long lifespan – typically 20–30 years or more.

Why Choose GRP for Flat Roofs?

GRP flat roofs are a modern alternative to traditional felt or bitumen systems. They’re lightweight, easy to install, and highly adaptable to complex roof shapes. At Tricel Composites, we supply high-quality GRP materials that ensure:

  • Fast installation with minimal disruption.
  • High tensile strength for structural integrity.
  • Fire retardant options for added safety.

GRP Flat Roof Details: What You need to Know

When planning a GRP flat roof installation, key details include:

  • Decking material: Typically OSB3 boards for optimal bonding.
  • Edge trims: Pre-formed GRP trims for clean, professional edges.
  • Topcoat finish: Available in various colours for aesthetic flexibility.
  • Drainage: Proper fall and outlets to prevent water pooling.

Our technical team can advise on GRP flat roof details to ensure your project meets all structural and waterproofing requirements.
