GRP Roof vs seamless edge

[djkprojects]

Hello,

 

I'm having kitchen extension built with a flat roof that will have a long 1.5m overhang. The roof will have GRP applied meaning an ugly GRP edge trim on top of the fascia.

 

 

 

I would like the front of the roof to be completely flat like here:

 

 

Is this possible without breaking any building regulations ?

 

Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Why would a GRP roof have an ugly raw edge? As you are keeping the gutter to the rear, a nice fascia is the way to go

No reason why you can't get a large zinc or powder coated aluminium flashing made the full depth of the fascia to replace the standard grp drip detail.

You can mimic most things in GRP.

So not really sure what you mean about ugly edge.

Yes, what Connor said. Companys such as Rainclear (who make copings / rainwater goods etc) would probably be able to make up something to an exact fit. Google it, there are loads of places that could do that.

 

That would look properly neat.

How much are you willing to pay a metre for a custom design?

Hi guys,

 

What I mean by ugly edge is the trim that goes over the fascia (the black edge).

 

Are you saying that the flat roof can be installed without it without it when using GRP and meet Bregs?

Thanks

According to the carpenter who is doing the roof the drip needs to be there when applying GRP. Is he wrong? How would the roofer go about finishing the edges of the roof without the grp drip? Thanks

get a wider drip bead so it comes all the way down
