What is used to seal a Lite-Deck roof?
Commercial roofs can be sealed with an Elastomeric coating applied directly to the concrete cover. Rubber Membranes or Steel Rib systems can also be applied directly. More conventional finishes (such as residential shingles) can be installed over furring strips which are anchored directly to the concrete cover. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper applications.

Typical concrete specs: 4,000 to 5,000 PSI – 4 to 6 inch slump – 1/2 to 3/4 inch aggregate. Structural engineer or local building codes may require slightly different specs. 14. Can I use plasticizers? Yes, water reducers can be used to increase workability. 15. Can Lite-Deck be vibrated? Yes. Vibrator should be used by an experienced operator. 16. How much rebar (reinforcing steel) do I need? That is determined by the Structural Engineer for the project. Rebar is placed in the joist and the cover. In addition, rebar is used to structurally tie the Deck and walls toge
