Insulating Concrete Roof Decks

Cellucrete has established itself as the leader in the lightweight insulating concrete industry with a proven track record of high quality installations throughout the southeast united states.

Insulating concrete roof decks.

Lightweight insulating concrete lightweight insulating concrete roof decks are high performance roof insulation systems that reduce roof maintenance and replacement costs. Since 1985 cellucrete corp has been applying lightweight insulating concrete for roof decks structural concrete engineered fill applications and floor fill installations. This process provides fire protection prevents air infiltration and bonds the total insulation system to the substrate. To insulate a flat roof with a concrete deck we recommend a warm deck construction method where the vapour control layer is sandwiched between the concrete deck and a layer of rigid pir insulation boards.

This can be perlite concrete vermiculite concrete concrete made with polystyrene aggregate or cellular concrete. Lightweight insulating concrete lwic is batched on site and used to encapsulate expanded polystyrene insulation to provide permanent roof insulation and slope to drain. Each design encapsulates the insulation board in insulating concrete. A good rigid insulation is insulating concrete which can be mixed and placed on the job.

It does not contain any water absorbing expanded fillers and requires only one fourth the mix water of expanded aggregate insulating concretes. Insul deck is formwork for concrete floors roofs and tilt up walls that stays in place as insulation space to run utilities and backing for finishes. Ideal for use in commercial and residential construction quad deck combines the strength security and reliability of reinforced concrete with the energy efficiency fast construction and comfort of insulating concrete forms. Insulating concrete is made with special lightweight aggregates meeting astm specifications c332 or made by using preformed or formed in place foam with cement cement sand mortar and also with lightweight aggregates.

The amount of insulation required with the specific structural deck will determine the type of concrete used. Serd is a specialty subcontractor providing lightweight insulating concrete roof decks metal decking tectum acoustical roof deck panels engineered fills and material sales. Unlike rigid board siplast lightweight insulating concrete is reroofable and therefore a truly sustainable insulation solution.
