Toplight C

Lightweight structural concrete produced using specialist engineered high strength lightweight aggregate and admixtures to provide much lower densities compared to standard conventional concrete.

Features and benefits:

• Reduces the weight over conventional concrete by 30% (Structural) or 60% (Non-structural).
• Can be produced with a density of 1800-1900 kg/m³.
• Structural concrete strengths can be gained up to 50N/mm² compressive strength with non-structural mixes being possible with densities as low as 1000 kg/m³.
• Reduces the need for propping on metal deck floors improving completion times.
• Environmentally friendly – the lightweight aggregate is an expanded raw material, producing 300% more aggregate per cubic metre than quarried aggregates thereby reducing demand on natural resources.
• Can be pumped and placed like normal weight concrete.
• Improved fire resistance over normal weight concrete.
• Can support the reduction in steel and foundation size in structures.
• Improved thermal and acoustic properties over normal weight concrete.
• Reduces cold bridging.
