Eco-friendly Roofing Systems Can Save Energy and Money
There are lots of eco-friendly sustainable roofing solutions on the market these days, and it's not just about saving the environment. Installing a "green" roof can save you money too.
For example, ArmorLite's new roofing system is up to eight times lighter than traditional materials such as asphalt and clay or wood, but it's supposed to be more weather-resistant and durable than traditional roofs. ArmorLite is rated to withstand extreme climate conditions such as high winds, earthquakes, and fires. All-in-all this means less maintenance (time and money) for you in the long run.
The roofing material also provides insulation and has a high heat reflectivity, which means it can help reduce heating and cooling costs.
ArmorLite is eco-friendly because it's 100% recyclable, and--compared to other roofing materials--it requires fewer resources during manufacture.
In case you're worried that an eco-friendly roof might look funky, ArmorLite is actually available in a number of colors and textures, so it can mimic slate or wood, and it can also be custom designed into shapes of your choice.
