Fibreglass Fishpond – GRP Roofing

Fibreglass fishpond in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Fibreglass fishpond in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

K. Sacklyn & Co. are a team of expert roofers working throughout Gloucestershire, so why have we got a photo of a fishpond on our blog?

Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) commonly referred to as Fibreglass is a high performance waterproofing system for all types of flat roofing, box gutters, valleys, balconies, walkways or anywhere that requires waterproofing, even fishponds.

It is formed in situ by reinforcing polyester resin with chopped strand matt using a peroxide based catalyst to harden it. Once cured it forms a joint free laminate that will last well in excess of twenty years.  Just the kind of material you want a fishpond to be made from, long lasting and waterproof.

So with this in mind, when asked to construct a fish pond for someone, we couldn’t say no to the exciting project. Completed in just two days by two of our expert roofers, this fibreglass fishpond in Cheltenham was completed with the upmost care to ensure that the base stays water tight for at least 20 years.

Multi-Foil Roof Insulation

<img alt="multi_foil_insulation">

Multi-foil insulation provides thermal efficiency and is only 30mm thick!

Over rafter Multi-Foil insulation can be a great option for your home if you want to insulate your house but have limited roof space and here’s why…

It works both in summer and winter: Actis Triso Super 10. In winter, it retains heat within buildings. In summer, it reflects radiation preventing overheating of attic rooms. Certified as the equivalent of 210mm of mineral wool but is only 30mm!

Other benefits include: seals roof against wind and damp while retaining ventilation; it saves valuable living space; beams and rafters may be left exposed. It is more tricky to install as you have to double batten the roof, however you don’t have to deal with nasty fibreglass mineral wool, or cut celotex insulation between the rafters, which takes an age. Triso is a much faster option.

Above is a new build roof we did in Hartpury, Gloucestershire, that used tin foil type insulation.
