Green Roofing
The restoration of a tile roof or of a slate roof has always been a
green roofing practice. Since our inception, we have been recycling tile and
slate roof systems.
Most of the work we do is environmentally friendly green
roofing for
the following reasons:
Other items to consider when using a tile roofing system are that it
creates a layer of air between the building and the tile. This air space
reduces heat transfer on hot summer days by allowing cool air to circulate
around the tile. Also, due to its thermal mass, the tile roof takes much longer
to simply heat up than a shingle roof, reducing air-conditioning costs. The
same is true during the winter months, or on cool evenings when the warm sun
has heated the roofing system, it takes much longer for a tile roof to cool off,
keeping the building warmer longer, reducing heating costs.
Tile roofs and slate roofs are natural products that do not contain petroleum products. As stated above, these are permanent systems that last a life
time.
Broadway Roof Company also actively engages in salvaging tile and slate from buildings that
would otherwise end up in the land fill.
