You can have a commercial roof covering made of the highest quality materials available, but without a solid roofing foundation, the rest of the roof makes little difference. The roof deck is the backbone of any commercial roofing system, which is why it must be designed to provide adequate support to the roof itself without placing undue stress or weight on the building itself. All-South Subcontractors specializes in installing state-of-the-art lightweight concrete roof decks that not only provide that needed support, but also stand up against the elements to reduce the risk of future leakage. With proper care and maintenance, a well-installed roof deck can even save you thousands on the cost of re-roofing years down the line.
Benefits of Lightweight Concrete Roof Decks
All South is an approved applicator for Celcore, Elasticell, and Siplast Lightweight Insulating Concrete. Between these three manufacturers, we can offer the highest wind uplift ratings in the industry, as well as the highest fire resistant designs. Learn more about the advantages of installing a lightweight concrete roof deck for your commercial roof installation:
- High insulating qualities: Keeps the air in your building warm in winter and cool in summer.
- Low–stress design: Its lightweight quality won’t add undue weight and stress to the trusses and joints.
- Slope-to-drain design: Facilitates easy water drainage to protect the roof against ponding during heavy rains.
- Asbestos–free: Adds peace of mind knowing you and your tenants aren’t being exposed to harmful carcinogens in the process.
- Fire–resistant: A lightweight concrete roof deck can greatly reduce the amount of structural damage in the event of fire.
- Wind resistant: The winds of the Southeast can wreak havoc on roofs. Lightweight concrete roof decks can withstand these high and sometimes relentless winds, reducing the amount of damage to the roof.
- Economical: In addition to being one of the highest rated forms of roof decks, concrete decks are also highly cost-effective. Not only are they cheaper to install, but a well-installed deck means you may only have to replace the membrane, saving 50 percent or more off roof replacement.
