08 November 2012 - A pioneering new green roofing product has been unveiled to meet the ever growing need for sustainable construction materials which clearly sets out its green credentials – an essential requirement for sustainable materials.
As architects continue to push the boundaries there is an increasing need to look at exciting new technologies that incorporate recycled or renewable materials in their construction, lessening the environmental toll. Green architecture does not only benefit the environment, investing in green materials also reduces energy costs for structures by using more efficient products.
The Russell Envirotile is the first fully sustainable interlocking roof tile: manufactured from recycled polypropylene (mainly from car components such as bumpers normally destined for landfill) it is also fully recyclable at the end of its life. Understanding the origin of construction materials, including their environmental impact, is an essential skill-set of the green specifier.
The innovative product has been launched by leading independent manufacturer Russell Roof Tiles, in collaboration with the Green Roof Tile Company, and offers a serious response to the Code for Sustainable Homes – the Government owned national standard intended to encourage continuous improvement in sustainable home building. read more>>>
