Stone Roofs in History
Toubl Contracting  Stone, in various forms, has been used for roofs
for a long time. Initially, stone was not used in roofs as it was
thought to be too heavy for the columns below to support. Toubl

• Roman Domed structures- were made with concrete (a man-made stone material)
• Trullis - If you have never heard about the Trulli, here is how they

Jeremy Toubl Here are some very common examples of how steel, concrete
and tilt-up construction are used together to provide the best quality
and value:
• A large steel office building or retail center may use tiltwall
concrete panels for interior fire walls or exterior facades. The
Mervyn's department store in the Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas area
pictured to the right was constructed in just this manner.
• An existing manufacturing building or warehouse made of concrete
blocks could be expanded by adding a steel lean-to structure to one of
its exterior support walls.  Acworth Exteriors
• A distribution center built using the cement blocks of traditional
construction will frequently use a steel roofing system and a rigid
frame similar to what a metal building might use. Regardless what
material is used, this combination of a rigid frame and steel roof is
necessary to provide a large clearspan.
Acworth Exteriors These are just a few situations where the best
choice for a project might be a steel building with tilt-up
construction components, or a concrete structure with steel framework,
roof system or steel add-ons or expansions. Toubl Contracting  A
