Introduction

What are FCR and MCR

FCR (Fibre Concrete Roofing) is a roofing technology developed in the eighties. It consists of concrete tiles made of cement mortar mixed with a small amount of natural or synthetic fibre.

MCR (Micro Concrete Roofing) is a further developed technology of FCR that does not use fibres. The production of FCR tiles is very exacting. Therefore SKAT recommends MCR technology because it is easier to use.

The FCR/MCR Toolkit

This guide is one element of the FCR/MCR Toolkit. This kit mediates the entire know-how that is required in the filed of the FCR-technology, covering all technical aspects. The toolkit-overview shows the structure of its contents.
