The roofing industry is developing products that reuse waste from other industries. For instance, waste from manufacturers of car hoses, shoes, tires, and other rubber products is now being directed to the manufacturing plant of EcoStar, Inc., which makes a 100% recycled lightweight rubber "slate" tile.
Another recycled product, the eco-shake®, looks like wood and contains reinforced vinyl and cellulose fiber.
The eco-shake is an innovative roofing material comprised of 100% recycled materials, reinforced vinyl and cellulose fiber. The eco-shake shingle is designed to resemble and replace wood shake shingles.
The eco-shake has a Class A fire rating and a Class 4 impact rating, the highest ratings achievable from Underwriters Laboratories (UL®). The eco-shake is lightweight and has been installed in over 45 states, Canada and the Caribbean. The eco-shake performs admirably even in extreme weather conditions with no cracking, fading or curling. In fact, an eco-shake roof requires no maintenance and is so durable it is backed by a 50 year transferable warranty.
The eco-shake is an excellent roofing product for all climates and is ideally suited for both residential and commercial use.
Eco-shakes are available in three desirable colors to better replicate a weathered wood shake roof. Custom colors are available. Eco-shakes are pre-packaged in random widths of 5, 7 and 12 inches, and are 22 inches in length.
EcoStar® is the leading manufacturer of sustainable, environmentally friendly steep-slope roofing products. Created with a simple goal: to manufacture premium steep-slope roofing products using rubber and plastics technology, EcoStar has built on this premise for the past ten years.
