So what are the green roofing options that architects, designers and builders are using these days?

To be eco-friendly when it comes to roofing it means your roofing should provide insulation and cooling to prevent having to turn on the climate control in your house thereby using unnecessary electricity.

Clay tiles are a helpful option for providing a cooler option because of their specially designed curvature and shape, because of this design it allows for extra ventelation and is able to withstand the harshness of direct sunlight which your roof is met with throughout the day.

Rolled plastic sheets and thermoplastc membranes are also helpful for the absorbtion of ultraviolet light. These sheetings are strong and also prevent damage that is normally caused by the out door elements. These sheets also come in specific colours to ensure that the light is reflected off of them so that the heat is not absorbed into the rest of the structure.

Coated metal roofing is also a helpful option, though many people are prone to thinking that this might be more unhelpful than sustainable. The right metal with the correct paint can provide the necessary cooling effect needed. If the metal surface is curved and not flat it will help reflect the light in different directions thereby preventing the absorption of the heat from the sun. The metal roofing also needs to be constructed with several layers to reinforce its function so organic mats and materials are necessary with this type of roofing system and needs to be kept in mind.

To be sure that you are using the most suitable design and material be sure to consult a professional that can provide valuable advice and help you to choose the best alternative for your needs as the region, climate and location can make a big difference.
