Environmentally Friendly Asphalt Shingles

As the premiere roofing contractors serving Colorado at C&M Construction and Roofing understand, building industry sustainability remains paramount alongside durability/aesthetics. 

While asphalt artificiality once concerned some, modern manufacturers revolutionize asphalt through extensive recycling reducing environmental impact alongside unmatched affordability. 

This in-depth article explores emerging sustainable asphalt options benefitting homeowners and environments alike through C&M’s expert installation guiding property owners in investing conscientiously.   

OEMAV Certified Shingles

Innovators collaborate to meet rigorous standards for recycled content, minimizing volatile organic compounds emissions. Roofing made efficiently using renewable resources achieves superior LCA metrics. Localized material sourcing lessens embedded transportation energy. 

Sustainable Architecture  

C&M champions new systems integrating eco-centered designs – asphalt solar shingles channeling sun rays, vegetation roofs naturally cooling structures, daylight optimized layouts reducing loads. Comprehensive sustainable practices implemented holistically maximize efficiencies for generations.

Renewable Raw Materials  

CertainTeed pioneer technologies refining post-industrial waste streams into virgin-quality binders yielding shingles maintaining durability with massively reduced manufacturing environmental impact. Such closed-loop processes revolutionize production sustainability. 

Recyclability at End-of-Life  

As older roofs near replacement, C&M assists in properly extracting components to recycling facilities – asphalt grindings reused for roads/driveways, fibers finding new life. Nothing is sent to landfills; all materials are continuously redeployed maintaining circular economies.

Energy Efficient Insulation 

Pairing superior asphalt with integrated attic ventilation and sealed air barriers according to C&M’s high standards exponentially boosts average home energy efficiency for reduced yearly carbon footprints and savings. 

Greenhouse Gas Reduction  

Sourcing regionally lessens embedded transportation emissions considerably. Asphalt manufacturing technologies now use carbon-capturing processes and renewable fuels shrinking factory carbon footprints and making significant climate impact reductions. 

Whether through optimized recycling, renewable enhancements, or holistic designs applied by C&M Construction & Roofing, today’s most progressive asphalt systems represent the ultimate in sustainable building protecting environments as assiduously as home interiors for generations to come. Consult their experts to seamlessly combine conservation conscience with unmatched quality.
