The most common problem found on existing roofs is the lack of a positive slope. This, of course, leads to ponding, and eventually, leaks. While some building owners simply tear off the old roof and start the process all over again, MRI is seeing more and more of our customers and engineers opt for installing a lightweight insulating concrete system. Unlike a tapered or rigid board system, which can be impossible to predict, a concrete system creates a lasting and solid positive slope to drain by correcting the substrate's irregularities. NO MORE PONDING ... EVER. A concrete system is virtually impervious to moisture degradation. And in some cases, the lightweight concrete can be applied directly on top of the existing roof, eliminating a costly and disruptive tear-off that goes straight to a landfill. A lightweight concrete system could be the last insulating system you have to buy for your building. To learn more, click here.
