The use of fibreglass, or Glass Reinforced Plastic as it is correctly known, is well established in the marine, aviation and automotive industries. The flexibility in designs, strength and it’s durability to adverse weather and chemical resistance has stood the test of time very well indeed.

Such recognisable strengths offers opportunity for many other uses also however, some of which have yet to be fully appreciated.

Take the roof of your home or outbuildings for example. Traditionally recognised roofing materials such as slate or concrete roof tiles may not prove entirely practical on some occasions.

Your roof withstands a tremendous variety of weather, more snow and rain than anything else more recently, and appreciating that the marine industry has, for many years, relied on fibreglass to form their basis in boat design, it is clear that fibreglass provides the necessary resistance along with a lightness that is pretty much second to none.

Fibre glass also offers increased resistance to fire and absorbs heat well so is a good thermal insulator.

When treated and cared for correctly, fibreglass offers a durable, lightweight, stain resistant alternative to traditional roofing materials requiring only minimal maintenance and repair.

With the flexibility in design available using fibreglass moulding technology, it is easily possible to design almost anything using fibre glass and roofing is just one fine example where it could be exploited more.

At Fibreglass UK, we have many years experience in manufacturing products using our state of the art workshops and professionally trained teams of experts.

Technology continues to move forward at an amazing pace and our ability to manufacture products using the fibreglass mouldings techniques are usually limited only by an individual’s imagination.

Fibreglass is a truly remarkable product offering excellent strength thereby having the ability to support heavy weights along with longevity making it one of the best inventions of the 20th century.
