Kansas City Roofer Predicts Green Roofing Trends

Roofing is arguably one of the most important parts of your home, a vital structural piece that not only protects your home's interior but also aids in insulation, energy circulation and temperature regulation.

While at the Greater Kansas City Home Show, I stopped to chat with Michael Vaught of Larry L. Vaught Roofing, Inc., who shared with me his opinion on future environmentally friendly roofing trends.

Vaught says white shingles are an optimal choice for those who want maximum temperature regulation, yet a drawback of the light shade is its tendency to quickly show streaks and other marks that would otherwise go unnoticed on darker shingles.

And for the ultimate in green building, Vaught says solar-powered shingles are the way to go. On a typical roof, solar shingles would be installed every five to six rows, but even so, Vaught says current costs make them a prohibitively expensive choice for most homeowners. He expects them to become a more mainstream home feature in the coming years.

The growing popularity of green roofing continues because of the increased awareness of saving the Earth. The green trend is catching and that's why most people support the use of eco-friendly products for their homes. They're not only saving the Earth, but they're also saving on their budget.

True enough, it's getting popular around the web already. Probably because anyone can do it on his own. I hope they remember enough, that not all roofs can support that much weight: with the growing medium, irrigation, and the vegetation itself.

I think solar powered shingles would be a really good idea. I cant imagine much of a downside beside cost of course!

There no question, that many roofs in the future will employ this technology. It inevitable, with the increase in fuel costs and the subsequent rise in food costs, itw ill be the wave of the future

Its also worth noting that some roofing manufacturers are moving to a more green product in the sense of the materials and process used to make roofing materials. Certainteed has really made a step in right direction by using more environment friendly products in their roofing materials. This is great news for home owners, business owners, and roofing companies interested in a more environmentally friendly business (www.hoytroofs.com).
