FOR ARCHITECTS
ESTABLISHED AND PROVEN
Micro Concrete roofing tiles have been produced for over 100 years and we at IMCP have been manufacturing and installing them since 2008.
At present we have 3 styles to offer.
- Enduroshake which is styled to represent an aged Wallaba shingle.
- Enduroslate, styled to represent a traditional slate
- Roman, the classic Mediterranean roof tile.
All styles can be custom coloured to suit the colour pallet of the property.
Our tiles are handmade and as such give a rustic and ‘aged’ feel to the roof.
FLEXIBILITY
Our tiles are designed for the adhesive set method of attachment. This gives tremendous flexibility to the designer / architect.
Most modern interlocking roof tiles require a minimum slope of 4:12 / 18 degrees / 33%. More traditional tiles can go down to as low as 2:12.
The combination for our tiles and adhesive set method allows for the successful use of hidden flashings making the transition from pitched to flat apparently “seamless”.
With some special considerations we can go from vertical all the way down as far as completely flat!
• ADEHISIVE SET METHOD•
The tiles are designed to be fitted using the adhesive set method of tile attachment, as laid out in The Florida High Wind Concrete and Clay Tile Installation Manual 4th Edition and 5th Edition.
Our tiles require no mechanical fastenings and so no penetrations of the waterproof membrane. Other mechanically fastened system literally require tens of thousands of nail or screw holes, each a source of leaks.
Our method has been proven in testing and by nature to be by far the most Hurricane resistant method of tile attachment.
Typically, we use RTA-1 adhesive (Click here for the Miami / Dade NOA) as the adhesive and Polystick TU Plus (Click here for Miami / Dade NOA) for the membrane.
All of our products have a roof loading of only 8lb / sq.ft (approx. 33kg/sq. M) and as such can be borne by any well designed roof structure.
