Roof finishes

'To put a roof over one’s head' is an instinctive need. What that roof looks like and how it's constructed has been inspiring architects since the development of mud huts. Here are some more sophisticated potential answers.
Hambleside Danelaw's seminar provides an introduction to GRP (glass reinforced plastic) as a construction material, places the use of GRP in a historical, environmental and architectural context, and considers the different construction and installation methods available, with examples.

Hambleside Danelaw is one of the UK's major manufacturers of products for the building industry. The group specialises in three main areas: GRP flashings, roof and wall ventilation products; insulator and contour GRP inplane roof lights and wall lights; and roofing membranes.
This seminar introduces three different types of liquid applied system and compares their individual characteristics and performance. It also covers roof design and regulations applying to liquid systems, case studies highlighting how and when they should be used, and guidance on what differentiates one from another.
