Which is best – EPDM or GRP?
The popularity of both EPDM and GRP as roofing solutions in recent years has led to many questioning which of these two highly rated options best suits their particular premises.
While GRP certainly has its advantages, including low weight, good vandalism resistance and a long lifespan, EPDM offers many of the same benefits while also being quicker to install, which helps to minimise the costs of fitting it.
EPDM is also much more flexible than GRP, with a membrane capable of considerable elongation without cracking, thereby allowing for building movement over time. By contrast, GRP roofs only allow for a very small amount of expansion and contraction, so are much more susceptible to cracking due to building movement.
