The EVERDURE CALTITE SYSTEM together with a special reinforcement pattern, offers a unique means of constructing
completely waterproof flat or curved concrete slabs without surface membranes, asphalt/bitumen or other additional
treatments.
The EVERDURE CALTITE SYSTEM has many major advantages over conventional roof waterproofing methods:
- Simplified design and reduced design time: No need for membrane detailing, simply specify EVERDURE CALTITE
concrete for all roof and exposed deck areas.
- Simple, guaranteed detailing for joints and pipe projections.
- Reduced construction time and cost: the EVERDURE CALTITE concrete is waterproof when placed, and needs no further
protection of any kind.
- Fully trafficable structural slab: No protective wearing courses are required; gives lighter structures and
allows full utilisation of flat roof areas for carparking, landscaping, water-features, recreational uses, etc.
- Permanently waterproof: No/Low maintenance; eliminates membrane repair and replacement cycles.k
- Unaffected by projections of pipes, lighting fixtures, etc. through the slab or by subsequent works, or by
plant and machinery achored into the slabs.
- Allows staged construction of multi-storey designs: Later construction of additional floors can be easily done,
if required.
- Performance Guarantee from the manufacturer for the finished roof structure; protects designer, owner and user.
THE EVERDURE CALTITE SYSTEM operates by ensuring that:
- Shrinkage is reduced by up to 50% by the System ingredients.
- Tensile and compressive strengths are increased.
- An effective curing compound is applied.
- Movement stresses from cyclic wetting/drying are eliminated.
- Temperature stresses are controlled by a special reinforcing pattern.
