Lightweight Concrete Roof

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 roof.

Lightweight insulating concrete includes the application of expanded polystyrene eps insulation boards. Expanded clays and shales capable of achieving sufficiently high strength for prestressed concrete. Foamed slag was the first lightweight aggregate suitable for reinforced concrete that was produced in large quantity in the uk. Expanded polysterene eps used in lwic is the preferred material.

Air entrainment and water. Unlike mechanically attached roofing systems where the membrane is secured to the system using fasteners adhered roofing systems secure the membrane to the system using adhesive. With standard structural concrete the aggregate used is sand and stone. Lightweight insulating concrete insulation.

It is designed for efficient construction of gradient and thermal insulating layers of flat roofs. Types of lightweight concrete floors systems 1. Beneath the roof cover structural concrete roof decks are commonly topside insulated using adhered insulation panels or cast in place lightweight insulating concrete. The end result of the structural lightweight mix is a deck that can be 20 25 lighter than standard structural concrete.

Lightweight insulated concrete system. 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. Lwic roof membrane performance. High wind performance adhered system.

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. Profiles are a fraction of the weight of our conventional roof tiles and are perfect for re roof projects. Roof systems lightweight concrete and screeds allows architects and building contractors greater versatility in design and performance of a flat concrete roof or deck. Lightweight concrete used in roof deck construction typically consists of portland cement foam water and admixtures.

Pumice is used for reinforced concrete roof slab mainly for industrial roofs in germany. Lwic systems provide the designer with a. The lightweight insulated concrete system lwic utilizes the sarnafil g 410 feltback roof membrane designed specifically for adhered applications bonded to the concrete using sarnacol 2121 water based membrane adhesive. Polystyrene lightweight concrete s density compression strength and thermal conductivity are similar to that of foam concrete.

Lwic have been in use for over 60 years.
