MARkrete Concrete Roof System Inc. specializes in innovative roofing solutions that prioritize sustainability and durability. Based in Miami, Florida, the company has developed a unique roof system that eliminates the use of wood, which is vulnerable to rot, insects, and fire. Instead, MARkrete employs a Continuous Reinforced Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) panel that serves not only as a structural element but also as an insulator, thus enhancing the overall energy efficiency of the building.
The company’s concrete roof system is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for regions prone to severe storms. Unlike traditional wood trusses commonly used in residential and commercial buildings, MARkrete’s system offers remarkable resistance to mold, insect infestation, and decay, which are typical threats to wooden structures. This innovative approach not only creates a safer living environment but also translates into savings on insurance costs due to reduced risks associated with wood deterioration.
MARkrete’s design versatility allows for various architectural forms, accommodating different ceiling styles such as vaulted and drop ceilings. As a product aligned with green building principles, the MARkrete Concrete Roof System contributes to sustainability by using recycled materials, ensuring indoor environmental quality, and significantly reducing air leakage compared to conventional roofing systems. Furthermore, the EPS panels provide additional benefits like thermal resistance and fire retardation, raising the standard for energy-efficient construction practices.
With a team of builders boasting over 100 years of combined experience in concrete and structural products, MARkrete aims to redefine the roofing industry by offering reliable, sustainable solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern construction.
