The Cromar 600gsm Fiberglass Chopped Strand Matting is an essential reinforcement component for professional roofing contractors installing the ProGRP system. Engineered for high-durability applications, this heavy-duty matting provides the structural integrity required for roofs subjected to frequent foot traffic, such as balcony areas or walkways. While it offers superior strength, users should note that the higher density requires careful saturation with resin during the lamination process to ensure a uniform finish.

While it can be used, 600gsm is typically reserved for heavy traffic areas. For lighter use, a lower GSM matting may be more economical and easier to handle.
A 33kg roll of this 600gsm matting covers approximately 60 square metres.
This product is specifically engineered for the ProGRP system. Using other resins may result in poor structural performance or chemical incompatibility.
Keep it in a cool, dry, and clean environment. Avoid moisture exposure as it can weaken the fibers.
The 600gsm weight provides extra thickness and structural reinforcement, which is necessary for the mechanical demands of high-traffic roofing applications.
Increase the amount of resin applied to the area and use a high-quality consolidation roller to drive the liquid into the thicker 600gsm weave.
Ensure the surface below is properly primed and use a metal roller to move air bubbles toward the edges before the resin cures.
Use sharp, dedicated fiberglass shears rather than standard utility knives to prevent fraying of the heavy-duty strands.
To ensure proper installation, the roof deck must be structurally sound and free from moisture. This matting is specifically designed for integration with the ProGRP system; using it with incompatible resins may lead to poor bonding or premature degradation.
Store the rolls in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the fibers. During transport, ensure the rolls are kept upright and protected from physical compression that could deform the matting roll shape, potentially leading to uneven laying during application.
