The Thanet branch of Chandlers Building Supplies is inviting local tradespeople along to the showroom on Wednesday 22 January for a free demonstration about fibreglass roofing.

Experts will be on hand to talk to visitors about the benefits of fibreglass as opposed to more traditional materials, as well as answer any questions that local builders and roofers may have.

John Rose, branch manager at Chandlers Thanet, said: “Since we became the only stockist of Cure It fibreglass roofing in the area we have been receiving a number of enquiries, so we look forward to welcoming anyone who is interested in finding out about using this material.

“While this is not a new product, it is widely known to be beneficial for use on roofs that have to deal with a large amount of inclement weather, so its popularity is steadily growing as people look for more cost-effective and long-lasting building products.”

The free fibreglass roofing demonstration takes place on 22 January between 8am and 1pm at Chandlers Thanet, which is off Star Lane in Margate.
