Corrugated fiberglass panels can add an attractive pattern to your roof replacement. They are commonly used to cover areas where you need a translucent roof to allow light and limit the heat. You will often find them as a covering for patios, greenhouses, backyard and carports. Some variations have inbuilt filters that act as a barrier against ultraviolet rays.
What is Corrugated Fiberglass Roofing?
Fiberglass panels with grooves and ridges are called corrugated sheets. The pattern enhances the strength of the material, although it is lightweight in nature. Corrugated fiberglass is ideal for slanting roofs, as there are chances of snow or rainwater accumulation in flat layouts.
Benefits
Fiberglass gained popularity as a roofing material in the late 1930s for its easy installation, low-cost and anti-rust properties. People began to install it in their outdoor structures like porches and yards. Corrugated fiberglass also became the most preferred roofing material for barns and industrial buildings.
