REDUCING CO2 EMISSIONS WITH ECO-FRIENDLY ROOFING SYSTEMS

Empire Roofing is an ethically run operation doing our part to protect the planet with environmentally safe roof installations and company-wide measures. We specialize in utilizing cutting-edge sustainable materials for long-lasting, eco-friendly roofing systems that reduce your carbon footprint and eliminate unnecessary waste.

WHITE ROOFING SYSTEMS

A white roof of 1,000sq.ft. will offset 10 tons of CO2 over its 20-year lifetime compared to a black roof. Whitening all eligible urban flat roofs on the planet would prevent 24GT of CO2 emissions, the equivalent of taking 300 million cars off the road over two decades.

TPO ROOFING SYSTEMS

TPO is a single-ply membrane comprised of recycled materials. It is resistant not only to UV rays (which helps regulate temperatures inside your building) but also to ozone and chemical exposure. TPO is non-toxic, extremely durable, low-maintenance and is backed by a full (material and labour) 30 year warranty.

GREEN ROOFING SYSTEMS

Green roofs are constructed in layers. It will have the same base as a TPO roof (decking, vapour barrier, insulation and waterproof membrane) but built on top will be a protection layer, drainage/root barrier, substrate and finally, the vegetation. Because of the excess weight from these materials, further structural reinforcements will need to be considered. Depending on your location, government eco-roof incentive programs may also include a structural assessment grant to help offset these costs.
