Energy Roofing Systems Is Going Green

Abraham Lincoln’s quote “Loyalty to petrified opinion never broke a **in or freed a human soul” can be applied to this modern day thinking about roofs. The old saying “you’ve got to keep a roof over your head” was meant to make a point about the necessities in life. Roofs have been looked at as the thing you need to protect your building from the elements and nothing more. Expensive to maintain and un**nged for fifty years, standard asphalt shingle technology has remained dormant. When it’s time to replace the roof people just blindly had a contractor tear off the old shingle and replace it with new ones.
Today approximately 10% of all the landfills in the country are filled with old asphalt shingle . Some States have banned shingles from landfills because of environmental problems. Take a look at a gutter that empties onto concrete and you will see a dark asphalt stain. Now multiply it a million times and you get the implication. Science and technology today, applied in a manner that makes an affordable alternative to asphalt, would be a great service to our environment. As energy costs soar, so does the price of shingles. As a result of this shingle manufactures have put more filler in the shingles and consequently they no longer last as long. Within 5 years you can see the deterioration. If you can get 10 to 12 years out of a shingle roof today you’re doing well. Consider the environmental impact of using a longer lasting more durable material for your roof and collectively we can make a difference in our environment.
