Nothing has
been more un-green and un-environmentally-friendly
than archaic roofing materials, which for over 100
years has been defined by unsafe, landfill-cluttering,
energy-inefficient products like asphalt, metal,
wood, clay, and concrete. But ArmorLite Roofing
Technology has changed all that -- forever. The
Santa Ana, California-based company made one of
the biggest breakthroughs in the history of the
roofing industry by developing the most eco-friendly,
energy-efficient roofing system ever.

According to Rob
Keen, one of the nation’s leading roofing experts,
“ArmorLite’s technology has redefined the
industry.”
ArmorLite’s
Lifetime Warranted product, uses the least amount of the
Earth’s resources, is 100% recyclable, with at least
50% recycled materials and has 0% waste in manufacturing,
all industry firsts. ArmorLite’s material reflects
significant heat and is highly insulated, both of which
dramatically reduce heating and cooling costs. According
to one homeowner in Hawaii who installed ArmorLite, “We
noticed a significant difference in the temperature of
our house. We no longer use the a/c, realizing a
considerable savings in our utility bill.”
We developed our
revolutionary new product with help from General Electric,
using advanced engineered polymers with over 40 years
of proven weatherability. Because of its lightweight,
ArmorLite can be installed over existing asphalt shingles,
which adds insulation and eliminates waste to landfills.
Weight has plagued
the roofing industry, causing the homeowner unsafe situations
in high winds, earthquakes and fire, while also creating
transportation and installation issues. But that problem
exists no more -- thanks to ArmorLite, which weighs nearly
8 times less than other lightweight roofing materials.
All this reduction in weight translates into less fuel
consumption during shipping, further helping our environment.
Did you know that
the average roof on a home weighs 30,000 pounds, placing
tremendous burden on a home’s structure? What
would you rather have over your family’s head –
30,000 pounds or ArmorLite’s 3,500 pounds?
According to Jim
Stewart, PhD, creator of Earth Day LA, ArmorLite is an
ideal example of a green roofing product that encompasses
all the considerations of a sustainable roof with low
environmental impact as well as meeting Energy Star and
Cool Roof Standards.
The other green
innovative features of ArmorLite include:
• Manufactured
in 2’ x 4’ panels, enabling roofers to install
materials 50% quicker, with 70% fewer nails and less penetrations
for wind, water and mold.
• Highly engineered
polymers, built to withstand the most extreme climatic
conditions. ArmorLite has a double-barrier Class
A fire rated system and is virtually impenetrable.
