GRP Fibreglass Roofers in Nelson
Glass-reinforced polyester — wet-laid fibreglass for complex flat roofs and rooftop balconies.
Why GRP Fibreglass matters in Nelson
Glass-fibre matting laid into wet resin, finished with a topcoat. Used where EPDM can't follow complex shapes — balconies, upstands, parapet detailing. 20-year typical lifespan.
