Lightweight Concrete Roof Panels

It is designed for efficient construction of gradient and thermal insulating layers of flat roofs.

Lightweight concrete roof panels.

Siplast lightweight insulating concrete is available in four mix designs. Roof systems lightweight concrete and screeds allows architects and building contractors greater versatility in design and performance of a flat concrete roof or deck. The steel deck panels are embossed in a manner which when filled with concrete allows the elements of the construction to respond to load as a single unit. 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. Tuftex polycarb 2 17 ft x 12 ft corrugated clear polycarbonate plastic roof panel. Each design encapsulates the insulation board in insulating concrete. Profiles are a fraction of the weight of our conventional roof tiles and are perfect for re roof projects.

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. The only cementitious structural panel approved by factory mutual fm fm approval standard 4472. With standard structural concrete the aggregate used is sand and stone. Installed up to 48 on center over cold formed steel framing 1 4 bar joists or wood framing to create 1and 2 hour fire rated roof ceiling assemblies.

Lightweight concrete roof tile eaglelite is our lightweight fire safe roof tile that is available in some of our most established profiles and colors. Item 77000 model 1418c1418c. Unlike traditional roofing systems where multiple layers are required concrete roof deck is both the noncombustible structural sheathing and either the nail base or thermal barrier. Structural concrete composite deck a supported steel panel deck system filled with normal weight or structural lightweight concrete.

Since 1985 cellucrete corp has been applying lightweight insulating concrete for roof decks structural concrete engineered fill applications and floor fill installations. 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. Types of lightweight concrete floors systems 1. Polystyrene lightweight concrete s density compression strength and thermal conductivity are similar to that of foam concrete.

The four designs represent a range of compressive and tensile strengths allowing a choice of system based on substrate and specific project circumstances.
