Environmentally Friendly Roof: The Classic Solution

Why is a Classic Metal Roof the most environmentally friendly roof you can buy?

Just take a look at these environmental benefits:

  • Made from quality, up to 99% recycled aluminum, the majority of which is post-consumer.
  • Minimal carbon footprint, unlike traditional shingles
  • Special Kynar 500® and Hylar 5000® PVDF resin-based finishes reflect radiant heat
  • Cuts energy costs by up to 20%
  • Reduces attic temperatures by up to 34%
  • Integral “dead” airspace blocks heat transfer by conduction
  • The lower cooling load can extend air conditioner life
  • Integrates with most photovoltaic solar collection systems
  • The low weight allows installation over most existing roofs
  • Eliminates the need for landfill disposal of old roofing
  • Low weight minimizes transportation cost
  • Long-life sustainability
  • Aluminum products can be repainted but will likely never need to be replaced
  • Low weight roofing can extend a building’s life
  • 100% recyclable if it is ever replaced
  • Very low “Embodied Energy”
  • Virtually zero out-gassing
