Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does chopped strand matting do in a GRP roof system?

Chopped strand matting is used to reinforce the laminate layer of a GRP roof. When saturated with resin, it forms a tough, waterproof barrier that provides strength, flexibility, and long-lasting protection.

Which mat density should I choose—450g or 600g?

The 450g matting is commonly used for standard roofing applications, while 600g offers increased strength and is ideal for high-traffic areas like balconies or walkways.

Can I cut the matting to size for smaller roof areas?

Yes – the matting can be easily trimmed with scissors or a utility knife to fit specific roof shapes or details, making it suitable for both simple and complex roof layouts.
