Concrete Roof Tiles, puzolanic cement, earth houses, ecomaterials: EcoSur - Home

We have tested MCR tiles against most leading standards for concrete tiles: ASTM (US), British Standards, South African, Russian (former Soviet standards), and even tested them for freezing resistance according to DIN (Germany). They pass all of the generic requisites like impermeability, bending strength, etc.

EcoSouth draws upon almost two decades of experience with MCR, and its pool of international consultants not only have provided technological assistance and courses, but also have been involved in scientific investigation and in developing excellent tile-making equipment.

While much of the impulse for the development and dissemination of MCR has come from the NGO sector, the technology is sustainable far beyond any initial project funding.

The housing deficit in the southern hemisphere is a chronic situation, and is on the increase. Over 60% of the dwellings are built within the informal sector. Roofing is the most expensive part of a simple house.
