Decra\u00ae Roofing Systems is the strong but lightweight roofing solution that allows you save costs on your structure and roof support.<\/p>\n

Saving cost<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Weighing approximately 7 to 10 times less than clay and concrete roofs, Decra\u00ae puts less loading onto the Roof trusses and onto the walls of the building. This means that a Decra\u00ae roof requires much less timber, less structural technology in the outer walls and shallower foundations. Together these add up to significant savings which can be used to either cut the budget or to enhance other parts of the build. To get the maximum advantage from Decra\u00ae planning is important, so the earlier you discuss your project with a Genuine Decra\u00ae Distributor, the more money you could save.\u00a0 To book an appointment today, please click on this link<\/a><\/p>\n

Saving Lives<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from saving money, why else should you consider a lightweight Decra\u00ae Roof? A Genuine Decra\u00ae roof performs all day every day, but it\u2019s when things go wrong that Decra\u00ae could literally save your life. Luckily, events such as fire, terrorism, building collapse, and natural disasters are few and far between, and most of us will go through life without ever being effected by any of these things. But if they were to happen, you could rely on a Decra\u00ae roof to hold together, and that may give you the precious time it takes for everyone to leave the building safely. The case below is a house in Japan that was caught up in the devastating tsunami that hit the country in 2011. This house was picked up and carried several miles by the huge torrent of water that cascaded over the land. Although the house is obviously ruined and inhabitable, the Decra\u00ae roof is completely intact (apart from one tile), and that has helped to keep the building together.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the image below shows the dramatic moment that a house in the UK which was roofed with clay tiles collapsed because of the weight. The house was being renovated at the time, and the weight of all of that clay on the roof\u00a0 proved too much. When this happens, it happens without warning and for anybody inside the house, an event like this could prove fatal.<\/p>\n

Keeping Strong<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Being lightweight doesn\u2019t mean that Decra\u00ae sacrifices anything in terms of performance. On the contrary, a Decra\u00ae roof is exceedingly strong, certified to withstand 200Kph hurricane winds and unlike clay and concrete tiles, won\u2019t crack or break if hit by falling fruit from nearby trees.<\/p>\n
