Light Weight Concrete Roof

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.

Light weight concrete roof.

The lwic systems are composed of either aggregate or cellular concrete. Lightweight concrete roof tile eaglelite is our lightweight fire safe roof tile that is available in some of our most established profiles and colors. Our sub six profiles and our flat lightweight 720 lbs. Roof systems lightweight concrete and screeds allows architects and building contractors greater versatility in design and performance of a flat concrete roof or deck.

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. Ballast paver is the easiest lightweight concrete paver to install and is designed to interlock with one another forming a ballast system that effectively secures single ply roofing membranes. The end result of the structural lightweight mix is a deck that can be 20 25 lighter than standard structural 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.
