WHAT'S BETTER FOR A FLAT ROOF, FIBREGLASS OR EPDM? Part 1

What is Fibreglass GRP?
Fibreglass is made up of glass fibres and polyester resin. This material is an excellent waterproofing material and is frequently used on flat roofs.The term 'fibreglass roof' refers to a flat roof applied with a fibreglass system as a waterproof barrier. It consists of a composite laminate painted with a resin topcoat. The main advantage of fibreglass GRP flat roofs is that they can be applied directly to existing roofs.

What is EPDM Rubber Roofing?
EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer. As a type of synthetic rubber, it demonstrates excellent waterproofing properties and is commonly used in pond liners and as a flat roofing system. A rubber membrane is used for waterproofing this type of single-ply roofing. The rubber roofing membrane is usually glued to the underlying structure with an adhesive.

Ease of Installation.
In both cases, EPDM and Fibreglass Roofing systems are faster to install than other flat roofs or traditional designs, as they are applied cold and are fixed to the property with adhesive or resin rather than heat or flames. Compared to GRP roofing, however, EPDM roofing may take longer to finish due to the various layers that must be applied so the process may be more complicated.

Weather Resistance
Both systems exhibit excellent water resistance in laboratory environments. In reality, fibreglass has a longer and stronger track record of effective waterproofing. Fibreglass roofs are weatherproof, as they feature a fully bonded structure and seamless fabrication, which means moisture cannot pe*****te. EPDM is also highly waterproof and does not grow algae.

How long do Fibreglass Ponds last?

Garden ponds manufactured with GRP - are 'temperature stable', which means they are unaffected by extreme low temperatures and largely resistant to ultraviolet light (UV) damage, unlike common rubber or PVC pond liners.

Assuming that the manufacturing process has been followed correctly, a good quality fibreglass pond can last well in excess of 20 years. Choosing fiberglass for your pond will leave you with a smooth surface and durable pond setup in comparison to traditional pond liner construction.

How to Keep Pond Water Clear Part Part 2:

Stop Scrubbing the Walls
The string algae on the water’s surface and the algae on the walls of your pond are two different species. They are in direct competition for nutrients and sunlight. If you let the algae on your walls grow without scrubbing the walls all the time, it will deprive the string algae on top of the food it needs to survive.

Install a Sunscreen
If your pond gets a lot of sunlight every day, cutting out the direct sunshine can help destroy the growth of algae on the surface of the pond water. This doesn’t mean you dump a gallon of sunscreen into the water. Instead, try setting up a shade that blocks out the sun for the majority of the day.

Grow Lilies
You may not want to deprive your pond of sunlight. If this is the case, try introducing new plants to the ecosystem that will compete with the algae for life. Water lilies are the best example of a plant like this.

Get Rid of Debris
Decomposing natural compounds will feed the string algae and allow the water to become murkier than it already is. Cleaning your pond out regularly should be something you do already. If you don’t, start now! Leaves, mulch, and any other stuff that collects in your pond water can decompose and feed the algae.

Bacteria Can Help
Not all bacteria is bad. The truth is, there are some naturally occurring bacteria that feed off the algae and stop it from growing. You can cultivate this species of bacteria in your pond to naturally destroy the algae.

Overfeeding Fish
If you’re feeding your fish too much, the uneaten food will rot and produce food for algae. Scoop out any uneaten fish food and reduce the amount of food if it’s being left uneaten. Feeding your fish less will also give the fish an opportunity to eat some of the algae.

How to Keep Pond Water Clear Part 1:

Is Algear Grouth Something to Worry About?
String algae and other types of pond algae are actually quite common in garden ponds. Due to no fault of your own, this plant grows in your water over time. If it isn’t reigned in, you could find yourself dealing with water that looks like it has been stagnating for years. The algae, when it overtakes the pond in its entirety, can stop the fish and plants in your pond from getting the nutrients they need to survive.

Dont panic as there are ways to clear your pond water without using any harmful chemicals. Some of them might seem unorthodox, but they have been proven to be effective time and time again. Here are a few ways to keep your pond water crystal clear and solve your algae problem once and for all.

Swipe and see hat they are ======>

Barley Straw

This is actually one of the best natural ways to keep algae away from the water in your pond. Decomposing straw releases a natural compound that works in the same way hydrogen peroxide (one of the most popular artificial solutions to murky water) does.

This can be placed inside your pond, right next to the water supply. You won’t see results immediately – the straw takes a while to begin decomposing.

The Old-Fashioned Way

If you don’t have time to wait for barley straw to work its magic, you can also manually remove the algae in your pond. It may not be the ideal solution to the problem, but it works!

Rinse Your Filter
Daily cleaning of your filter is one of the best ways to prevent algae from growing in your pond and remove any that exists in it right now. If you don’t have a filter on your pump, go to your nearest garden supply store and get yourself a pump filter.

Test your knowledge on roof Health? PART: 2

Check for signs of damage- Flat roof damage may be hard to see from ground level. In addition to cleaning the rooftop, check for any signs of damage that may need to be treated. This could include cracks, discolouring, worn spots and holes. If there are any cracks then it needs the attention of a professional.

Weight and stress- While flat roofs are durable they may seem sturdy, most flat rooftops are surprisingly delicate. They cannot handle much extra weight at all. So avoid stacking or piling supplies on top of the roof. Before adding any additional equipment or features to the roof, call in a professional for an opinion on how it will affect roof integrity.
