Enviroshake also uses the latest in UV Inhibitor Technology utilizing HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer) that provides excellent light and effective ultraviolet light protection for applications demanding high light stability, as well as outstanding long-term protection. Enviroshake is not damaged by salt spray and is resistant to moss, mold and mildew. The runoff water from an Enviroshake roof is non-toxic, potable, and even meets World Health Organization drinking water standards.

Enviroshake and Enviroshingle are both composite tile roofing products that are designed to authentically replicate the look of natural weathered cedar roofing materials, but improve upon their performance in terms of weather resistance, resistance to environmental stressors, and overall longevity.

What is Cool Roofing?

Cool Roofing defines a material that has enhanced properties that allow it to reflect and emit the suns radiation back to the sky instead of transferring the heat into your house. The coolness of a product is measured by the Solar Reflectivity Index, which measures solar and thermal emittance. To be considered a ‘Cool Roof’ a product must have an SRI greater than 19. The higher the value, the cooler the roof. Enviroshake composite roofing products have a Solar Reflectivity Index (SRI) Value of 27.4.
