Light Weight Concrete Roof

With structural lightweight concrete a mix of shale slate slag and clay are used and with this mix the aggregate is fully saturated prior to mixing.

Light weight concrete roof.

Profiles are a fraction of the weight of our conventional roof tiles and are perfect for re roof projects. Lightweight concrete roof tile eaglelite is our lightweight fire safe roof tile that is available in some of our most established profiles and colors. Lightweight insulating concrete includes the application of expanded polystyrene eps insulation boards. Lightweight insulated concrete also known as lwic is a material intended for use as an insulation and substrate for support and attachment of roofing membranes on slope roofs.

The end result of the structural lightweight mix is a deck that can be 20 25 lighter than standard structural concrete. It provides a very effective and efficient method of insulating the concrete base from intense heat and for creating drainage slopes screeds which facilitate quick surface water runoff as well as eliminate any chances of ponding or stagnation. The lwic systems are composed of either aggregate or cellular concrete. The largest single use for lwic is as a roofing base and thermal insulation for industrial and commercial buildings with low slope roofs.

Lightweight concrete used in roof deck construction typically consists of portland cement foam water and admixtures. Ballast paver can be used as a walkway perimeter ballast or can fully cover a roof for ultimate protection from wind and uv damage.
