concrete roof
Posted by Robert on August 2, 2006

I want to roof a wood frame house with a 6 in 12 pitch with lightweight concrete. Has it been successfully done?

A 6 in 12 pitch roof is pretty steep. It would take a very stiff mix to be able to place it and not sag.

One alternative would be to precast panels for the roof.

I would consider cellular concrete for the weight considerations but I would first contact a roofer for more information on constructing a roof of this nature.

It may have been done successfully but my knowledge of roofing is limited.
