Are Unicrete roof tiles a “green” environmentally responsible choice?
A. Unicrete roof tile tops the list for being a sustainable, environmentally responsible roof covering saving our landfills from millions of tones of disposal waste. Demolition and Construction waste accounts for an estimated 22% of the total landfill disposal volume. Of course even when the tile does need replacing 80 years or more down the road, it is a highly desired recycled product composed of natural materials, with countless applications for its second life. Unicrete roof tiles contain a post industrial waste product called Fly Ash which not only improves the quality of the tile and saves on land fill loading, but actually saves about 1/2 ton per typical roof in manufacturing carbon emissions. There are also great energy savings to be had with the Unicrete under-tile “Ener-vent” system.
