Product Information

Full details

The Cromar GRP Roofing Raised Edge Trim (114mm x 127mm) is an essential component for professional roofers and DIY enthusiasts installing flat GRP roofing systems. Its primary function is to create a secure perimeter upstand that directs water runoff away from roof edges, ensuring a watertight, long-lasting finish. While this trim provides superior durability and structural integrity, it requires precise alignment and the correct application of specialized PU trim adhesive to ensure the system remains sealed against the elements.

FAQs

What type of adhesive should I use?

You must use a compatible PU trim adhesive, specifically designed for bonding GRP to timber or battens.

Can I paint the GRP trim?

While the trim has a durable finish, if you choose to paint it, ensure you use a UV-stable exterior-grade paint system compatible with GRP.

How do I cut the trim to size?

It is best cut using a fine-toothed handsaw or an electric angle grinder with a suitable cutting disc for composite materials.

Is this trim suitable for all flat roof types?

This product is specifically engineered for GRP (fibreglass) roofing systems.

What is the recommended spacing for adhesive beads?

Apply the PU adhesive in 30mm beads at 300mm centres along the battens.

Does the trim require specialized fasteners?

While adhesive is the primary bond, you may use corrosion-resistant nails or screws through the vertical flange if needed, ensuring they are sealed over with resin.

Troubleshooting

Trim not adhering properly to battens

Ensure the surface is free of dust or moisture and verify the adhesive is fresh. Increase pressure during initial application to ensure a full bond.

Gaps appearing at corner miters

Use a fine-toothed saw to ensure clean cuts. Use GRP resin and glass matting to bridge and reinforce the corner joint, ensuring a watertight seal.

Water pooling near the edge

Check the roof fall/slope. The edge trim is designed to direct flow, but the deck must have a sufficient gradient to facilitate water movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, weather-resistant GRP material
  • Provides a clean, professional finish for flat roofs
  • Essential for effective water runoff management
  • Compatible with standard GRP roofing systems
  • Long lifespan with minimal maintenance required

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade PU adhesive for proper installation
  • Must be cut accurately for mitered corners
  • Not suitable for non-GRP roofing substrates
  • Requires careful storage to prevent warping or impact damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the trim, ensure the battens are clean, dry, and securely fixed. Apply the `Cromar PU trim adhesive` in consistent 30mm beads, spaced at 300mm intervals along the batten. Bed the trim firmly into the adhesive to ensure full contact across the surface. Ensure that all overlaps and miter joints are properly sealed with resin and fiberglass tissue to maintain a monolithic, watertight barrier. For care, perform routine inspections during seasonal roof maintenance to ensure no debris is blocking drainage and that the adhesive bond remains intact over time.
