GRP is a very strong and tough material - seven times the flexural strength of steel – yet very lightweight and flexible with high energy absorption properties that make it impact resistant and virtually maintenance free.
GRP is not a new process, it has been around since 1938 and since then has become the material of choice for racing cars, boats, baths and aeroplanes.
GRP roofing technologies are tried and tested and are extensively used for the refurbishment of existing & new roofs, by architects, local authorities, roofing contractors and major building contractors throughout the UK.
F1 offers all potential installers a practical Training day that comprehensively covers all aspects of the F1 GRP System. This can be carried out at either your local merchant, or at our F1 training facility. We will also be happy to carry out training on location, on one of your own roofs, with the permission of your customer. We would agree a fee for this subject to numbers of installers and time required at the property.
Once you have become an approved installer of our F1 GRP System, you will be issued with a complete Media pack which consists of your installer certificate, brochures, customers literature, approved installer van stickers, and the all important full technical backup just a phone call away. Once you are an approved installer you can offer the full 25yr product guarantee. Every F1 approved installer is allocated a unique certificate number to prevent 3rd party misrepresentation, so you can give peace of my mind to your customers.
F1 installers are independent roofing contractors and companies that have passed our selection process, completed the training program and consistently passed our inspections and testing enabling them to deliver an excellent standard of approved workmanship and service.
