LIGHT-WEIGHT CONCRETE FOR ROOF INSULATION
Light-weight Concrete For Roof Insulation
Vermix® Lightweight Concrete
Vermix® Lightweight Concrete
Vermix® Lightweight Concrete consists of Portland cement and vermiculite. It enhances versatility in design, high performance as well as reasonable cost for architects, engineers and contractors. It not only possesses all the qualities of a good insulating material but also has other characteristics which give the material the ability to diversify; such as furnace insulation, tropical housing and refrigeration, external weatherproofing and internal plastering.
Application
LC 500 is normally used in a concrete flat slab, low pitched and roofs, constructed of wood wool slabs, hollow tile / precast concrete beams
LC 800 is normally laid over a wide range of sub-bases to provide an insulated & resilient floor
Vermix consist of minute air cells which own their lightness, and excellent insulating value at temperatures ranging from below 0°C to 1000°C. In addition, it is non-combustible and chemically inert. These qualities equipped Vermix for a wide range of applications. It is produced in a factory-controlled ensuring consistency and a guaranteed mix design that would eventually produce the specified density and K Value.
Compared to structural grade concrete, Vermix concrete is only 15% of its weight. 25mm of Vermix concrete is equal in insulating value to 500mm or regular concrete. It is widely used on all kinds of flats and low-pitched roofs. They can be readily laid to suit each individual job. It is recommended that the minimum thickness of the screed should be 50mm.
