Environmentally Friendly Roofing Materials
Green roofs are a reality today. Many towering commercial structures have green roofs which don’t just have no adverse impact on the environment but actually benefit it by harnessing solar power and by cooling the immediate surroundings in the process. Such kinds of roofs are not entirely viable for homes because of the types of structures homes have and also due to financial constraints. But as a homeowner, you can always opt for environmentally friendly roofing materials.
Environmentally friendly roofing materials are simply those roofing fixtures that are made mostly of recycled stuff. The most common roofing material is asphalt shingles. Asphalt is not exactly an
Bristles and environmentally friendly roofing material. It is dumped in landfills after being thrown off and a very small part of those shingles is actually recycled. However, there are asphalt shingles available today that have a tiny bit of recycled materials. In many regions, owing to the initiatives taken by some thoughtful companies, asphalt shingles are not always dumped into landfills but are recycled and used for roads and other types of constructions. While that is good news, it still doesn’t make the shingles environmentally friendly roofing materials because they don’t originate from recycled stuff. The objective is to reduce the carbon footprint, to increase the green cover on the planet, to reduce heat generated and the energy consumed. That can be accomplished when recycling makes up for 70% or more of the roofing material. That is achieved with Euroshield rubber roofing.
