Eco-Friendly Roofing Materials

Each year, roughly 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles are dumped into our country’s landfills. This also means that 26 million gallons of oil are being poured into our environment.

Fortunately, asphalt shingles are no longer just one of a handful of options available to homeowners interested in installing a new roof. Today, homeowners can choose from dozens of options, many of which are very eco-friendly.

Environmentally-Friendly Roofing Systems

Not only will eco-friendly roofing options provide excellent energy efficiency for residential homes, but they’ll also protect your largest investment for a lifetime. Some of the best options for residential roofing include:

ENVIRO-STEEL SHINGLES

As the most environmentally friendly roofing system on the market, enviro-steel shingles are made with 25% recycled material. Best of all, these shingles will remain recyclable even after decades of use and exposure to the elements. Additional benefits of our enviro-steel shingles include their:

• Beauty and ability to match nearly every style of home;
• Class 4 hail impact rating
• Class A fire rating
• 130 MPH wind rating

METAL ROOFS

In general, metal roofs tend to be very environmentally friendly. This is because many of them are partially made from recycled materials.

If you live in a particularly hot or sunny climate, metal roofs or tiles can also help to lower your monthly energy bill. This is because they reflect the sun’s rays rather than absorb them.

WOOD SHINGLES

Because the shingles can be recycled and used in future reclaimed wood products, wood shingles are very environmentally friendly. And while they come in a wider variety of styles and stains than years ago, it’s important to note that wood shingles may not compliment certain styles of houses.
