Energy efficiency is a preoccupation for all home owners and renters alike. From light bulbs and appliances that need less energy to run, through to modern roofing that can produce energy for you, options are now available throughout your home. When it comes to energy efficient roofing, a roof can be energy-efficient throughout its life – even before it sits on top of your house!

From The Source

It begins with the choice of material. Using slate requires energy to extract it from quarries and transport it to the manufacturers. Using recycled materials, such as high-quality steel, reduces these requirements. Recycled materials begin their transformation to become your roof tile immediately.

Arriving at Your Home

Traditional roofing materials are heavy and bulky. They require more transport and equipment to get from the manufacturer to your home – already so much energy has been used and they’re not even on your house yet.

In contrast, by using only the best modern materials, like high-quality steel, lightweight roofing suppliers can deliver up to seven-times the number of tiles on the same amount of transport. This leads to significant CO2 savings. It also means cost savings. A lighter roof places less stress on the structure of your home and its foundations, supporting your home’s longevity from above.

Long-Term Solutions

Once installed, traditional slate roofs can do little for energy-efficiency. They sit above you until they need repairing or replacing.

Meanwhile a strong and versatile lightweight roof can actually produce energy for you! The installation of photovoltaic roof tiles, better known as solar panels, enables your roof to produce energy for your home. This potentially reduces your energy bills and your carbon footprint – benefitting you and the environment alike.
