Cellular Lightweight Insulating Concrete

The lwic systems are composed of either aggregate or cellular concrete.

Cellular lightweight insulating concrete.

Lightweight cellular concrete lightweight concrete has been implemented in construction for over 3 000 years with the use of volcanic ash such as fine aggregate. Celcore incorporated black mountain nc 28711 ph 828 669 4875 fax 828 669 4874. Each design encapsulates the insulation board in insulating concrete. Cellucrete is florida s largest applicator of elastizell concrete provided by the elastizell corporation.

The elastizell corporation has provided materials for quality roof decks engineered fill applications and floor fill installations for over 30 years. The cellular insulating concrete is used in conjunction with specially designed expanded polystyrene eps insulation panels to produce a durable monolithic thermally efficient fire resistant roofing substrate. Cell crete a pioneer of the lightweight insulating concrete industry first started in 1956 when louis c g. Advances in technology and new materials have led to advancements in strength durability placement capacity and consistency.

The four designs represent a range of compressive and tensile strengths allowing a choice of system based on substrate and specific project circumstances. Elastizell concrete is typically a mixture of cement water and preformed foam. And cellular insulating lightweight concrete which has a multitude of macroscopic discrete air cells. Zic nvs insulcel and zonocel.

This process provides fire protection prevents air infiltration and bonds the total insulation system to the substrate. Expanded polystyrene processed to a nominal density of 1 pound per cubic foot used as aggregate in lightweight insulating concrete. Lightweight insulated concrete also known as lwic is a material intended for use as an insulation and substrate for support and attachment of roofing membranes on slope roofs. Cellular insulating concrete is a key component for constructing a celcore roof deck insulation system.

The largest single use for lwic is as a roofing base and thermal insulation for industrial and commercial buildings with low slope roofs. Lightweight concrete acts as insulation suitable as fill for floors roof decks and other applications. Celcore roof deck insulation systems are underwriters laboratories ul fm global fm. Elastizell corporation of america has provided material to produce cellular concrete for quality roof decks engineered fill applications and floor fill installations for over 45 years.

Since 1985 cellucrete corp has been applying lightweight insulating concrete for roof decks structural concrete engineered fill applications and floor fill installations. Siplast lightweight insulating concrete is available in four mix designs.
