The Lightweight Insulating Concrete FL Residents Depend On

What Is Our Lightweight Insulating Concrete?

At Concrecel USA, we patented a lightweight insulating concrete material that is used as an insulation and substrate for support and attachment of roofing membranes on slope roofs. The LWIC systems are composed of either aggregate or cellular concrete.

The largest single use for LWIC is as a roofing base and thermal insulation for industrial and commercial buildings with low-slope roofs. LWIC is “non-structural” in the traditional sense. There are other forms of concrete, including “lightweight”, that are structural.

Functions of Our Lightweight Insulating Concrete

The LWIC installations are combinations of components, each of which has a specific function. The substrate, lightweight insulating concrete, and molded polystyrene (MEPS) create an LWIC system.

The substrate may be galvanized metal deck (bottom-slotted preferred), structural concrete (poured-in-place or pre-cast), or a sound, existing built-up roof membrane. The function of cement in LWIC is to bind the components together and generate strength. The cement used in LWIC is Portland Cement.

Benefits of Our Lightweight Insulating Concrete

• Acts as a strong permanent substrate for modified bitumen or single-ply membranes
• The easily customizable slope-to-drain design eliminates drainage issues and the need for costly tapered insulation systems
• Typically eliminates the need for future roof insulation tears offs and the potential for additional damage during reroofing
• Pouring lightweight insulating concrete over an existing roofing assembly may eliminate the need for labor-intensive tear-off
  
• Substantially improves thermal insulation values for the entire lifespan of the building
• Economical, saving both time and money
• Dramatically improves fire resistance
