What’s new in roofing?

Green Roofing – It’s green on top!

Owners and architects as well as tenants and the government are gravitating towards environmentally friendly buildings constructed from sustainable design.  Sustainable design and development strive to meet the needs of the present without compromising the quality of life for future generations.  It incorporates the careful consideration of environmental impact, energy use, natural resources and economics.  When applied to roofing, elements of sustainable design are found in green roofing, Energy Star roof products, metal roofing and roofing membranes made of recycled materials.
