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
look. Acworth Exteriors More information about the Construction

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
general contractor who is well versed in the advantages and
limitations of all methods of construction can help determine what is
the best approach on any given project. Jeremy Toubl
