FERROCEMNET ROOF

The ferrocement roof consists panels size 1.5mtrs.x1.2mtrs. approximately and ferrocement portal and purlins replacing AC sheets and structurals steel trusses and purlins. Unlike AC sheet Metal, FRP roof all the ferrocement panels are joined monolithically. There will be no nuts and bolt arrangement as in the case of AC sheet Metal, FRP roofs. But ferrocement panels shall be connected to the purlins and portal by welding and in-situ vibrated cement matrix application. Or Ferrocement mega tiles of size 1.5 x 1.2 mtr. or more are laid just like Mangalore tiles with most effective interlocking arrangement to prevent rain water entry below. There will be least heat transfer as compared to AC sheets etc. The space below the roof shall be neat and clean since the steel trusses are eliminated. There will be far better storage space below without obstruction.

The ferrocement roof is superior as compared to A.C. sheets roof and metal sheets as below: -

•	Ferrocement can be monolith, jointless roof eliminating trusses and purlins nuts and bolts and joints as in the case of AC sheet/ Metal sheets roof.
•	Ferrocement roof shall transfer much less heat as compared to AC sheet/ Metal sheets roof. It can be fully insulated against heat transfer. Jointless ferrocement roof prevent humidity transfer inside.
•	Since structural trusses, purlins are eliminated space there is more storage space.

Since ferrocement roof is monolith, there is no phenomenon such as cracking as in the case of AC sheet/ Metal sheets roof and leakage of rainwater and corrosion of nuts and bolts, therefore, least maintenance operations. Soffit of ferrocement roofs is neat and clean as compared to AC sheet/ Metal sheets roof since there are no steel trusses or tubular trusses.

•	In the long run ferrocement roof are very economical.
•	The performance of gutters and valleys is superior. Because these are integral with roof.
•	The life of tubular truss roof is much less in view of earlier loss of strength due to corrosion.
•	Wooden trusses purlins require replacement off and on. In ferrocement roof, no replacement is necessary.
•	Ferrocement roof is trouble free and durable for decades.
