Lightweight Concrete Roof Slabs

Our sub six profiles and our flat lightweight 720 lbs.

Lightweight concrete roof slabs.

The lwic systems are composed of either aggregate or cellular concrete. Profiles are a fraction of the weight of our conventional roof tiles and are perfect for re roof projects. Dry screeds and dry fills. Depending on local availability special lightweight aggregates may also be included in the design for enhanced strength capability.

Polystyrene lightweight concrete s density compression strength and thermal conductivity are similar to that of foam concrete. They are used as load bearing or non load bearing elements in residential and commercial construction or as noise barriers on streets and railway lines. Standard concrete as a density of around 2300kg m3 and lightweight concrete generally has. 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 concrete can also be applied as a topping slab over structural concrete decks. Lightweight screeds and substrates. Boral has specially designed lightweight concrete using a non toxic treated polystyrene aggregate or by the use of cellular foam injection by specially trained applicators. Researchers at the technical school eth zurich have constructed a unique lightweight concrete ceiling by mixing computational design 3d printing and prefabrication.

Light weight concrete slabs can be used universally. 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. Lightweight concrete is typically applied as composite slabs over vented metal decks that meet the requirements of astm a653 and are of the proper type and gauge to withstand the structural live and dead loads for the facility. Light weight concrete slabs are available both with a raw and with a ground surface.
