Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

The choice of roofing materials is very important for your home. It is nice to know that you can there are residential roofing shingles and eco friendly materials that homeowners and builders can use. If you want a roof that will outlast the usual asphalt shingle roof then eco friendly materials are the way to go. Many are impervious to hail and range from recycled plastic to recycled metal. There are also harvested and reclaimed wood shingles. The best option for you and your hoe depends on the look, building codes and pricing. You can recycle, sell or donate your old tiles and shingles for salvage. Here are some eco friendly materials that you may want to consider:

Solar Shingles

One option is solar shingles. These are photovoltaic cells that have the size and shape of roofing shingles. However, with one difference. They hold the suns heat and use it for electricity. There are some cases where homeowner can actually sell energy to the electric company. The number of solar shingles it takes to power your home depends on its size and how much energy you use. You don't have to replace your whole roof, just put a few in with your other shingles.

Recycled Composite Shingles

There are synthetic shingles that are made from recycled materials. The materials are plastic and old tires. These shingles are made to look like cedar, shake, slate and asphalt but are lighter and better for nature. These shingles don't need flame retardants or algae inhibitors and are hail and hold resistant. They could fade or wear over time. Make sure they are tested for water issues.

Fiber Cement

When it comes to fiber cement shingles they look more like traditional shingles. You should look for the ones that are local and come from cement, fiber and recycled paper pulp. They have the weight of a tile. There are builders that have questioned them due to temperature fluctuations. Check with your building authority in your region before installing them.

Wood

This is one of the best options for a roof as far as the environment. It requires cutting down trees and replacing individual shingles in damper areas. However, wood is considered a renewable resource. In some historic areas wood shingles give homes an authentic look. You should check the Forest Stewardship Council for locally sourced wood. You will see the FSC stamp on the package. Rare wood shingles that are left untreated can resist rot if they are rot resistant like cedar and cypress. You should try to find untreated shingles.

If you are concerned and want eco-friendly roofing then look around. Consider how you want your home to look and what materials you want to use.
