Recycled Rubber Roofing Has Many Advantages
If it's time to replace your roof, you have quite a few options when it comes to materials. One you might not have considered before is recycled rubber roofing.
This eco-friendly material can be colored and molded into different shapes, so you can have anything from cedar shingle look-a-likes to "slate" roofing.
Looks aside, there are other reasons to consider rubber. The rubber roof tiles shown here are from EuroSlate, and they are "designed to overcome extreme weather impact and temperature variances that cause curling, splitting, cracking and rotting, associated with other roofing systems." Also, the material features high insulating properties, so it is an energy efficient choice too.
In addition, rubber is "maintenance free," impact resistant, and lightweight (under four pounds per square foot).
Check out the EuroSlate site for more information.
