When it comes to roofing, the stakes are as high as the top of your home. Roof tiles and pans are crucial for protection against the elements, but the traditional options often come with a cost, both financial and environmental.
Problems with today's roof tiles
Traditional roof tiles have been sheltering homes for centuries. Historically, roof tiles have been manufactured from materials like clay, concrete, or slate, which are known for their durability but not for their sustainability. These traditional materials are weighty, require significant energy to produce, and are difficult to transport, adding to their carbon footprint. Moreover, installation can be labor-intensive and expensive, and over time, these tiles can crack, break, or succumb to extreme weather conditions.
Here's our solution: We're reinventing roof tiles and pans
We’re redefining roofing with our cutting-edge composite tiles and pans. Our secret lies in our innovative use of recycled materials, transforming discarded plastics, recycled glass fiber from discarded windmills, and other materials into premium products. This not only gives a second life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfills but also provides homeowners with a lighter, more durable and sustainable roofing solution.
Our tiles and pans are designed to work together seamlessly. Large pans are quickly and effectively installed across the broad surfaces of the roof, while precision-cut tiles are used to complete the edges, ensuring a snug fit and reducing waste. This modular approach allows for a tailored installation, minimizing excess and cutting down on the time spent fitting and securing tiles.
It’s not just about the ease of installation. Our composite tiles are exceptionally light, reducing the load on your home’s structure and the transport emissions associated with getting them to your site. Despite their lightweight nature, they boast extraordinary durability, often outlasting the materials they replace. This longevity translates to fewer replacements, less maintenance, and, crucially, a reduced impact on the planet.
Our Promise: Durability, Sustainability, Efficiency
Opting for our solution means less waste during installation and beyond. With an expected lifespan of 80 years, our tiles and pans stand the test of time. They are virtually maintenance-free, withstand extreme weather, and keep their appearance year after year, promising you not just a roof but a legacy over your head.
In a world where every choice can impact the environment, choosing Bú Composite is a statement that you care for the planet as much as for your home. By blending sophisticated material science with a passion for sustainability, we’re not just providing a product; we’re offering a commitment to a better building future.
