Firestone SkyPaver Composite Roof Pavers
SkyPaver Composite Roof Pavers produced by VAST comes with an interlocking facility for efficient roof fixing. The material manufactured utilizing a blend of 90 to 95% recycled car tiers and plastic containers are supplied in units comprising a 16x16 inch erection grid with eight composite pavers each measuring 4x8 inch. The pavers weigh only 6.23 pounds that is nearly one fourth weight of the concrete pavers for every square foot of construction. The interlocked grids can be installed directly over a horizontal drainage mat to establish an integrated surface.
Some of the exclusive advantages provided by the SkyPaver Composite Roof Pavers for the flat roof constructions include ideal installation over patios, rooftop decks, walkways and terraces for both new and re-roof type of projects, offered in a range of designs and colors. The pavers minimize the roof load and yet are robust enough to handle all types of live loads including point loads. The pavers meet the ASTM standards and display absorption of water property, withstanding freeze-thaw weather conditions and friction. The reduced weight level of the products enables easier lifting to the rooftops and does not require a pedestal system for installation.
The eco-friendly product ideally fits the construction of green buildings. It is estimated that 25,000 square feet installation of SkyPavers will prevent around 7,000 tires and over 200,000 plastic containers from reaching the landfills. Installation of SkyPavers assists in earning LEED green credits.
