Services
Lightweight Insulating Concrete
Our Lightweight Insulating Concrete (LWIC) systems combine low-density cellular concrete with expanded polystyrene for durable, high-performance roofing. These permanent solutions maintain R-values over time, reduce life-cycle costs, and offer superior fire ratings while eliminating underside steel deck fireproofing requirements. Ideal for new construction and reroofing applications.
Cementitious Wood Fiber
Cementitious Wood Fiber panels use wood fibers bonded with hydraulic cement to create structural roof panels. These systems provide excellent acoustic performance with Noise Reduction Coefficients (NRC), featuring Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) designs that have delivered reliable solutions since the 1950s for both residential and commercial applications.
Gypsum Concrete Systems
Gypsum Concrete Roof Deck Systems offer proven performance since the 1950s with fire resistance ratings up to two hours. These systems combine fiberglass formboard or sheetrock with wire mesh reinforcement to create durable substrates that support multiple roofing material applications while providing cost-effective repair and reroofing options.
Engineered Mineral Board
Our Engineered Mineral Board systems deliver non-combustible, structural composite roof decks with 50+ years of proven performance. Featuring patented technologies and UL hourly fire ratings, these systems withstand extreme weather conditions while maintaining structural integrity and extending roof covering longevity through advanced stress control mechanisms.
Insulated Metal Panels
Insulated Metal Panel systems use polyisocyanurate foam cores between metal skins to create energy-efficient roofing solutions. These pre-fabricated panels minimize penetrations, provide high R-values with reduced thickness, and offer factory-finished aesthetics while accelerating construction timelines through simplified installation processes that reduce labor requirements.
