weight of fibre cement roof
Ramco is the perfect Fibre Cement Roofing sheet because it is made with the finest quality portland cement and the finest quality of fibres. We use imported chrysotile fibres with a tensile strength of 28000 kg / sq.cm which is over 8 times greater than that of steel. We test the cement for optimum fitness and the fibres for length and strength. For over 3 decades RAMCO Fibre Cement Roofing Sheets have given millions of homes, schools and industries — safe shelter, healthy atmosphere and permanent protection. What gives Ramco the strength to overcome competition is the power of automation and the skill of professionals who operate our machines.
