Roof Concrete Process & Importance

Image
  Roof Concrete: Process, Importance & Best Practices for Durable Roof Slabs Concrete roof slabs are one of the most critical structural elements in any building. They not only protect the structure from weather but also influence temperature control, strength, and long-term durability. A well-executed roof concrete process ensures safety, leak-proofing, and longevity of the building. What Is Roof Concrete? Roof concrete (also called roof slab concreting ) refers to casting a reinforced cement concrete (RCC) slab on top of a building. It consists of: Reinforcement bars (steel) Concrete mix (usually M20 / M25 grade) Formwork & supports Proper curing and waterproofing layers Why Proper Roof Concreting Is Important 1. Structural Strength The roof slab transfers loads (live load, dead load, wind load) safely to beams and columns. Poor-quality concrete can lead to cracks and long-term structural issues. 2. Leak Prevention Roof is the most exposed part o...
