With a growing number of project managers banning ‘hot’ works on public buildings due to health and safety risks, roofers who only use bitumen for flat roofing are now losing business; not good news for them in the challenging UK economic climate. For flat roofing, there is a top quality alternative to using bitumen.

This new GRP cold applied roofing system is produced by Scott Bader Ltd., the UK’s leading manufacturer of resins, topcoats & gelcoats for glass fibre reinforced products (GRP).

CrysticROOF is an easy to use ‘catalyst activated’ unsaturated polyester (UP) resin and top coat cold GRP system. The resin and topcoat are brush or roller applied separately at different stages. It can be used, not just for flat roofs, but also for valley, pitched and complex roof designs. CrysticROOF is fully compatible with all the popular roofing materials used, such as decking boards, edge trims, fillets and flashings.

Like all Scott Bader products, CrysticROOF was developed by their R & D team of chemists and material scientists and are rigorous testing during development. Once developed, every Crystic product is manufactured to very tight batch controls and QC procedures in their chemical plant to ensure it supplies its customers time after time with a consistent, quality assured product in terms of both colour and handling.
