There is no such thing as a fully fiberglass roof. If there was, it would'nt last very long as the materials inovolved in fiberglass (i.e. mainly glass) are not intended to withstand direct exposure to the elements. If you are looking for how long fiberglass insulation in your roof will last, your best bet would be to speak to a houseing contractor.
No fiberglass alone is not a composite, it is only that fiberglass. But if you combine fiberglass with resin which is mixed first with a catalyst so it becomes hard, it then becomes a FRP part which is known as Fiber Reinforced Plastic, which is a composite. This is what most us have seen as examples of composites when looking at a corvette car fender, diving boards, surf board, motor boats or sail planes these are all examples of Fiber Reinforced Plastic parts, which combines these two substances both resin and fiberglass to become a composite. Each substance alone does not have the necessary mechanical proprieties which would be necessary alone for a material suitable for some type of structure , but with both of the substances combined they become a true composite. This where where the substance of one material which lacks these necessary properties are then found in the other materials properties alone they are almost useless but combined these materials help to make up for what the other one lacks.
Fiberglass is very durable and has an extremly long lifespan. It should last several decades depending on how well it is taken care of
Vikrell is a type of composite material commonly used in the construction of bathtubs, showers, and sinks. It is made by combining resin, fiberglass, and filler materials to create a durable and long-lasting product that is resistant to chipping, cracking, and staining. Vikrell is known for its ease of maintenance and sleek, modern appearance.
Fiberglass particles can stay in the lungs for a long time, potentially causing health issues. It is important to seek medical attention if exposed to fiberglass to prevent long-term effects.
Fiberglass bathtubs are the way to go, they are not only sturdy and strong, but last a long time and dont chip, stain or perish.

Fiberglass products can last anywhere from 20 to 50 years, depending on factors such as the quality of the materials, environmental conditions, and maintenance. Properly maintained fiberglass, especially in applications like boats, pools, or insulation, can significantly extend its lifespan. However, exposure to harsh weather, UV rays, and physical wear can lead to deterioration over time. Regular inspections and repairs can help maximize the longevity of fiberglass products.
It should last for years as long as you don't walk on it and smash it down .I have it in my house and it is 20 yrs old ( fiberglass type )
