Sustainable Resilience: The Benefits of Synthetic Roofing
Brava manufactures premium-quality synthetic roofing that combines the authentic look of Shake, Slate and Barrel roofing with unmatched performance. As a leading alternative to traditional roofing material, our composite roofing products last longer, are far more durable than traditional cedar shake, slate and Spanish barrel tiles, and are much more aesthetically and architecturally pleasing than asphalt shingles and concrete tiles.
During the Industrial Revolution, engineers looked for ways to create materials that were strong, waterproof, and long-lasting. New advances in technology led to the creation of beautiful, better-performing, longer-lasting, and sustainable materials for a wide use of applications. In this course, we compare traditional roofing systems with synthetic roofing systems and how they differ in durability, lifespan, maintenance, and carbon footprint. In addition, we discuss how synthetic roofing can protect against rot and pests and provide low maintenance for building occupants.
