buying organic foods, and even putting a more eco-friendly roof on your home can be considered Going Green. There are a handful of roofing systems that can reduce your energy cost, and the amount of impact you have on the environment.TPO Single Ply Membranes: Thermoplastic Polyolefin is a rubber-like material, that contains no chlorine or plasticizers. Without the chlorine being added, it can be considered a "green" product. TPO is 100% recyclable, and in some cases the reflectivity rating is in the 80% range so it ends up saving on energy costs.
Metal Roofing Systems: As previously discussed in our blog, metal roofing systems are known to b
e very long lasting, and can help homeowners save on their energy bills. Some metal roofs are even Energy Star rated, and can earn possible tax credits.Energy Efficient Roof Shingles: There are new shingles on the market that use a highly reflective granule technology that bounces back the sun's rays. They help keep roofs cooler, resulting in a more comfortable living space below, and helps reduce energy bills. Cool roofs also result in lower carbon dioxide emissions, and other various harmful harmful environmental toxins. Some "cool shingle" roofing systems even come with a 40-year warranty.
