Re: Micro Concrete Roofing Tiles

Micro Concrete Tiles are made from cement mortar, which is vibrated on a table at a controlled frequency and set on a mould to shape.

The mortar used is a mix of Cement, fine sand, coarse sand and fine aggregate.

The mix consists of


(a) 1 part cement
(b) 2 parts of graded sand, and
(c) 1 part of stone grit smaller than 6mm in size.

MCR tiles can be made in two distinctive profiles; Pan and Roman and an infinite range of colours.

They are put through rigorous tests for water tightness, shape, size etc.

MCR tiles are being marketed under different brand names such as TARAcrete, Duracrete, and Swisscrete.

Design Data for MCR Roofs: 13 Tiles per sq.m. ; 32 kg. per sq.m.

Tiles needed for 10m of roof: length 50 nos.; width 25 nos.

MCR tiles are secured by tying them to the purlins with G.I. wire.

The angle of roof slope should be at least 22 degrees.

Greater inclination of upto 30 degrees is preferred for more aesthetic appeal and in high rainfall areas.
