Does Expanded Clay Aggregate or ECA ® have roof panel applications?

Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA ®) is an extremely useful material for the construction and installation of roof panels. When used in structural concrete, ECA ® helps add thermally-resistant and sound-absorbing qualities, and its lightweight and moisture-impermeable structure makes it a perfect additive for modern, structural roof panels.

Because ECA ® is resistant to moisture and water and minimizes heat transfer, ECA ® concrete roof panels can often be installed without requiring thermal barriers or moisture barriers, which helps streamline the construction process and minimize costs. It also helps mitigate the issue of latent moisture, which is common in poured concrete roofs.
