Flat roofing products and roof insulation in Scotland

New technology has afforded many options when it comes to flat roofing. Single ply roofing membranes and accessories enable both contractors and their client base to achieve a high performing, lightweight, flexible roofing system, which is also easier, safer and quicker to install than traditional bituminous systems.

Scotia Roofing Supplies keep comprehensive stocks of Icopal’s Sureplan FPO, Monarplan PVC and Universal POCB.

Manufactured from flexible polyolefins, Sureplan FPO provides exceptional weather resistance and protection against all temperature extremes.  

Sureplan FPO is UV resistant and remains virtually unchanged throughout its serviceable life and is not affected by direct contact with commonly used roofing materials such as bitumen, asphalt, polystyrene or rubber. 

This makes Sureplan FPO the ideal membrane for both refurbishing existing roofs as well as new builds.  

Monarplan PVC is a flexible PVC (polyvinyl chloride) single ply roofing membrane offering excellent characteristics of strength, elongation and weathering making it ideal for new build or refurbishment projects on flat pitched or curved roofs.

Icopal Universal® is a POCB (polyolefin copolymerisate binder) membrane and is fully recyclable and together with the product’s low mass it is lightweight, strong, flexible, and extremely stable single layer roof covering that is UV resistant and tough. 

Single ply roofing systems are able to meet highly challenging design briefs, delivering excellent thermal insulation and airtight construction, thereby reducing a building’s carbon footprint while making sure that performance-critical roof membranes continue to deliver high quality protection. Single ply membranes are used in all building sectors, from retail to health, commercial to education and including residential new build and refurbishment.

Originally developed in the 1930s, GRP (glass reinforced polyester) has now become an integral product across a wide range of applications. As the popularity of GRP has grown it is now used for a wide range of common applications such as flat roofing systems, boat manufacture, spa pool and pond liner products, automotive body shell production, etc.

The strength and versatility of GRP together with its waterproofing properties ensured that boats and water tanks could be built to last many decades without the need for regular maintenance work. As the R&D and technology has improved over the years, GRP Roofing has developed high-performance GRP systems for use for roofing applications.

Materials are specially formulated for roofing applications and include the following features and benefits: a 20 year guarantee on materials, low styrene emission, good inter-laminar adhesion, excellent technical support, full training and on-site support. It is supplied pre-pigmented graphite grey (BS 00 A 13) or clear with a selection of pigments and all BS4800 colours are available.
