Do you dread opening your electricity bill after running the air conditioner all summer? While you might initially blame drafty doors and windows, the main culprit could be your roof. Turns out your roof plays a significant role in regulating your home's temperature. And the choice of roofing material can make a substantial difference in energy efficiency and keeping your home quiet. Designed to provide superior insulation, Euroshield Roofing systems are known for their unique technology, durability, energy benefits, and sound protection. But what does that mean for you? Let’s dive in.

Why Use Rubber For Roofing Shingles?

Rubber is a versatile material. It’s a natural insulator that, once molded, will hold its shape over time and is resistant to bending, curling, or cracking. It’s highly durable (think of your car tires!), water resistant, and a poor conductor of heat or electricity. When used to create roofing materials, especially shingles, rubber is a game changer. Not only can rubber roofing be designed to mimic the look of other roofing materials (like slate or shake), but the electrons in rubber molecules are tightly bound and require tremendous force to break apart. Compared with some of the top roofing materials, such as asphalt, clay, or metal, rubber shingles will stand up better against impact, offer higher insulation benefits, and provide soundproofing.

Save Money On Energy With Proper Roof Insulation

As the top covering of your home, your roof helps keep heat or cold in or lets it out. A well-maintained and properly insulated roof traps air inside and prevents outside air from getting in. To help keep your energy costs low, you want to choose roofing shingles that do just that!

Euroshield’s patented rubber shingles stand apart from all types of roofing material. Our roofing system delivers top-notch durability and unparalleled insulation. Rain, hail, or wind, Euroshield rubber shingles provide enduring value for homeowners. 

Here are some of the key ways that Euroshield’s rubber roofing systems support energy efficiency:

• Our lighter-colored shingles reflect the sunlight, but the dense rubber composition severely limits heat transfer into or out of your home. This helps maintain comfortable temperatures with less energy usage.

• By keeping your home thermally efficient, rubber roofing systems can reduce HVAC energy demand by 10-20%.

• Consistent indoor temps mean your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard, reducing wear and tear over time.

By maintaining a consistent temperature and combined with the right ventilation, your home’s HVAC system won’t have to work as hard, saving you money on cooling costs. Want to really maximize all the benefits of Euroshield shingles? Make sure the quality of your walls, windows, and attic match your roof’s insulation capabilities.

Sleep Better Thanks to Soundproofing

Rubber's natural sound dampening is more effective than roofing materials like metal, tile, or asphalt. Again, its tightly bound molecules block sound waves, providing a sound-proof interior space. As a roofing material, Euroshield's thick, recycled rubber absorbs sound vibrations from rain, hail, traffic, machinery, and more. This helps dampen outside noises so they don't disturb your home's interior. Also, the less your AC or heat runs, the quieter it will be inside your home as well. 

Science-backed Technology Behind Euroshield’s Rubber Shingles

Euroshield only uses eco-friendly materials and procedures, keeping carbon emissions low. Unlike traditional shingles, Euroshield’s roofing tiles are made from 70% recycled rubber and 95% recycled material overall. Euroshield’s manufacturing process also gives the rubber exceptional durability and weather resistance.

Our roofing system has a specially designed interlocking system to allow for expansion/contraction due to weather changes and help prevent damage from UV rays, storm debris, hail, wind, and precipitation. Best of all, all Euroshield shingles come with a 50-year warranty—one of the longest and most comprehensive of any roofing products on the market!
