Green Roofing Materials
Advancements are always being made in the roofing industry and environmentally-friendly options are no exception. New green materials and techniques are consistently being added to the roofing world. Here are a few new advancements that may be of interest.
– White or “cool” roofs: Composed of a mixture of white gravel and glue, “cool roofs” reflect the sun’s rays helping your home stay cooler in the summer and reducing your need for air conditioning.
– Solar Shingles – Shingles that are made of photovoltaic cells can be integrated into your roof and help cut your utility bills by up to 60%. Federal and state tax credits can be applied to offset the cost of purchase and installation.
– Thermoplastic Roofing – Used on commercial roofs, thermoplastic polyolefin is a roofing membrane used to cover flat roofs. It has a naturally reflective surface that reflects UV rays.
– Recycled Shingles – A synthetic roof shingle made from recycled materials reduces the need for raw materials, reduces waste, provides durability and creates a beautiful look.
