With many people becoming more and more environmentally concerned, you may want to know what options ensure that the roof on your home is environmentally friendly (eco-friendly).

While it may seem like just the exterior part of a house, a roof is more than just a shelter to protect you from the weather. It also adds value to your home by being aesthetically pleasing to the eye. In addition, eco-friendly roofs can offer the energy you need to be utilized for your electricity.

Various eco-friendly roofing options:

Clay tiles

These tiles are expensive, but can last for 50 years or more. Clay reflects the sun well because of its lighter color. It is well insulated and acts as a great fire-resistant material. Clay is one of the most eco-friendly roofing options available on the market. The roofing option is non-combustible, non-leaching, and durable.

Metal roofing

Metal roofs are designed to keep your home cooler and provide great aesthetics. Metal roofing is usually recycled and contains stainless steel, aluminum, and copper.

A metal roof will also be more long-lasting compared to a wood or asphalt roof. These types of roofs are lightweight and fireproof.


Additionally, metal roofs are ideal for those living in areas where earthquakes are common. They can be shipped and installed in pieces. Metal can also be recycled and painted in any color of your choosing.

Recycled synthetic shingles

The recycled materials are made of rubber and plastic. They weigh less than slate and can last for up to 50 years or longer.

We have this roofing option in many colors for customers to choose from depending on their taste and preferences. The shingles are also resistant to fire and UV rays.

Slate

This is another popular environmentally friendly roofing option that we have. Perhaps the only negative with this option is that it’s a bit expensive.

But, it’s one of the most durable roofing materials that you can use. This type of roofing can last many years with the regular replacement of fasteners. Slate is a natural material and it’s recycled. It’s non-leaking and easy to repair if needed.

By choosing one of the above eco-friendly roofing options, you can add a reliable roof to your house that is gentle to the environment. These roofing options will also help to cut down your energy bills and collect water for various household purposes.
