Been thinking about replacing our roof soon, and I'm pretty interested in synthetic roofing materials that are eco-friendly. I mean, something that lasts long, looks decent, and doesn't totally trash the planet, you know? Has anyone here tried any of these sustainable synthetic roof options? Wondering if they're really as durable as advertised or if it's mostly marketing hype. Would appreciate hearing some real-world experiences before we dive in.
I've installed a few synthetic roofs over the last couple years, and honestly, durability-wise, they've held up pretty well. Had one client who went with a recycled rubber composite—looked surprisingly good and survived a couple nasty hailstorms without issues. But I'm still curious about long-term UV exposure... has anyone here seen how these materials hold up after 10+ years under intense sun? Would be great to hear some longer-term reports, since that's really the test for sustainability.
