Sign Up Now For BRAVA's AIA Course and Earn Continuing Education Credits!: Sustainable Resilience: The Benefits of Synthetic Roofing
During the Industrial Revolution, engineers looked for ways to create materials that were strong, waterproof, and long-lasting. New advances in technology led to the creation of beautiful, better-performing, longer-lasting, and sustainable materials for a wide use of applications. In this course, we compare traditional roofing systems with synthetic roofing systems and how they differ in durability, lifespan, maintenance, and carbon footprint. In addition, we discuss how synthetic roofing can protect against rot and pests and provide low maintenance for building occupants.

We are completely satisfied with our roof. It looks great in all seasons. I’m sure it’s saved us on heating and cooling bills (more so than asphalt shingles would have).
We originally chose the shake tile because of its superior performance. We quickly saw that its authentic appearance had the added curb appeal we wanted for our custom homes.
It is even better looking than I expected, and I think it is the best looking roof in Norman I like the fact that there are variations in both the size and color of the roof tiles.
