Advantages
No expansion joints required
1/5 normal weight on concrete reduces deadweight
Keeps buildings cool in summer and conserves heat in winter
Provides a permanent, non-warping base for all surface materials
Surfaces can easily be laid to falls (1:10) to prevent ponding on flat roofs
Cost effective alternative to conventional block and beam roofing systems
Reduces structural movement (opening and closing of joints) in the roof due to solar heating
Totally incombustible, providing extended access for emergency personnel across roof in the event of a fire
