    We are trying to decide between these two. It's a small area of flat roof - about 25m sq. but we really want to get a solid reliable roof on it. All the suppliers are telling us that their product is the best and we don't really know who to believe!
    Any experiences?

    Had Trocal sikaplan PVC Membrane slate grey ral 7015 fitted to a flat roofed rear extension 40sqm 2 years ago and we are delighted with it, so much so that last week we had the garage roof, which is about 30 years old, redone with the same products. PM me if you want fitters details etc.

    Fibreglass all the way as it will last longer, has better jointing (ie none) and has better weatherproofing at joints and obstructions

    Thanks for the replies - still stumped now though :)
    Leaning towards fibre glass simply because it is least similar to asphalt (which we have had terrible experience with), but would appreciate any other experience.
    Thanks

    Hey guys,

    Not sure if I should put this question in this thread. I have a balcony that is leaking, it is about 5foot by 15foot. I was told I needed to get trocal. I have gotten a quote from a guy for €1000 and thats just for putting the trocal down, I said I would take up the stoned slabs from the balcony and remove everything required and put it all back together after the trocal was down. So this price is purely for putting the trocal down.

    This sounds way too much money to me but I have no experience of this trocal costing. Anyone any Ideas??? and if so does anyone know anyone who can do it at a reasonable price around kildare area??

    Thanks
