    GRP ROOF LIGHTS - FAQ

    1 What is the life expectancy of GRP roof lights?
    The life expectancy for a GRP roof light typically ranges from 13 to 30 years, depending on various factors such as quality of materials, installation method, and local environmental conditions. Places in the rainy UK might naturally be exposed to more rain and debris, meaning the GRP condition might wear down quicker. Nevertheless, roughly 13 years is the minimum lifespan of the GRP rooflight. With proper maintenance and care, GRP rooflights can offer reliable performance and natural lighting solutions for an very long period, making them a durable and cost-effective choice for roofing applications.
    2What is cheaper EPDM or GRP?
    The chief difference between an EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rooflight & GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) rooflight lies in their composition and construction. EPDM rooflights are created from a synthetic rubber membrane, offering flexibility and high resistance to weathering, while GRP rooflights is essentially a glass-reinforced plastic material, providing general strength, durability and resistance to vast weather elements. Additionally, EPDM rooflights are normally installed as single membranes, while GRP rooflights may come in various forms, including panels or sheets, as we sell here at Alpha Steel.
    3Can you put EPDM over GRP?
    Indeed, it's possible to layer an EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) membrane over a GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) rooflight. EPDM membranes are flexible and can conform to the contours of the underlying GRP rooflight, providing an additional layer of waterproofing and protection. This method is useful for enhancing the longevity and weather resistance of the general rooflight construction, especially in the UK - i.e. an area prone to heavy rainfall or extreme weather conditions.
    4Do rooflights need building regulations?
    In the United Kingdom, the installation of rooflights typically does not necessitate adherence to building regulations. However, as regulations and procedures may vary across different regions within the UK, it is necessary to consult with your local council prior to undertaking any installation work. While building regulations may not be mandatory for rooflight installations in many cases, local authorities may have specific requirements or procedures that should be followed to ensure compliance with local regulations and standards. By contacting your local council before proceeding with the installation of rooflights, you can obtain valuable information regarding any specific requirements or considerations that may apply to your area. This proactive approach helps to ensure that your installation project proceeds smoothly and in accordance with all relevant regulations, minimising the risk of potential issues or complications down the line.
    5Are rooflights and skylights the same?
    Rooflights and skylights are often used interchangeably, but there are slight differences. While both provide natural light to interior spaces, skylights are typically fixed windows installed in the roof, while rooflights can also refer to structures designed to open and close for ventilation. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) rooflights offer durability and versatility, allowing natural light to illuminate spaces while providing insulation and weather protection.
    6Do GRP rooflights leak?
    No, GRP rooflights, including those offered by Alpha Steel do not leak. They are renowned for their reliability and durability. When installed correctly, Alpha Steel's GRP rooflights are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, hail or snow, ensuring optimal performance and protection for your shed, warehouse or unit.
    7Which roof covering has the longest life expectancy?
    Among various roof covering options, Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) rooflights are known for their exceptional durability & longevity, making them a preferred choice for many applications. GRP roof lights offer excellent resistance to weathering, UV exposure & corrosion, ensuring reliable performance and extended lifespan throughout the year. As a chief supplier of GRP rooflights in the UK, we take pride in offering a durable and trusted solution that delivers lasting value and peace of mind to our customers.
