Let's take a lookunder the surface
Fibrecoat is made up of different layers to provide strength and durability. In this section, we take a closer look at the materials used and break the system down layer by layer.
Substrates
It's got all your bases covered
Fibrecoat can be applied to virtually any surface type, which not only makes it the ideal choice for new roof constructions but refurbishing and waterproofing existing surfaces including felt, concrete, asbestos, metal and more.
Primers
Fibrecoat primerscreate a lifelong bond
The primer layer encapsulates the original surface creating a platform for the Fibrecoat resin system to be applied. There are a number of different primers in the range specially designed to cover a wide range of substrates. Browse the different primers below or launch the selector to find out which primers you need.
PU Activator
A single-component, low-viscosity primer or activator designed for non-porous surfaces such as exposed metal, PVC, polyurethanes, GRP, glass and polyurea coatings.
Surfaces
- Single-ply (PVC)
- Metal Roofing
- GRP Fibreglass
- EPDM
- Aluminium

Fibrecoat resin system
Works from top to bottom
Fibrecoat is a single-part resin system that covers both base lamination and the final finish. Once the primer has cured apply the resin to the area with the Fibremat reinforcement. Once cured you can apply the final layer of Fibrecoat resin.

Chopped strand matting
Send in the reinforcements
The Fibremat reinforcement is a 150gm chopped strand e-glass fibreglass matting made of randomly distributed chopped glass strands held together with an emulsion binder. The Fibrecoat resin will slowly break down this binder to form a strong yet flexible base layer making it suitable for foot traffic, roof furniture green roofing, solar panels and more.
