			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Houses built in the late fifty’s has roof designs that cannot last for long thus new roofs must be built in order to make the house livable once again. Since roofs cover the upper most portions of the houses and buildings, it serves as the primary protection against extreme climates and UV rays. When we talk about different roofs designs, it varies remarkably depending on the era it was built.  A roof that is built in the old times are not that sturdy enough to withstand years of climate abuse, new roofs today are built to last for decades over the harsh weather conditions.  <a href="http://www.roofbuying.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/roofclean.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-197" title="new roof" src="http://www.roofbuying.com/wp-content/plugins/image-shadow/cache/0df27d6f80989a8667e206b81af6961e.jpg" alt="new roof" width="150" height="150" /></a>New roofs have different designs that offer more protection and are built to last for years. Modern houses are also equipped with new roofs that have special features that cannot be found in conventional roofing systems. However, new roofs may be very expensive and seem impractical to use if you live in a country wherein climate are not really a concern. Roof restoration is also a good alternative for families or building owners who have a tight budget on building maintenance.

<p>2.       Roofs that are made of recycled material. Research is done to reduce trash in the society. Creators are able to come up with an eco-friendly roofing material that is almost the same with conventional roof when it come to design but the durability is higher and it cost less.</p>
<p>3.       New roofs are also designed to catch rain and promote ventilation. In this way, modern houses equipped with new roofs can be able to save much on water bills and air conditioning systems.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Buildings all have one thing in common, four walls supported by a roof overhead. Building owners, whether their properties are residential or commercial, are responsible for the installation and maintenance of these components. When considering new residential roofing, commercial roofing, or roofing repair options, something that is efficient and cost effective is top priority. Maybe it&#8217;s time to consider a green or solar roof.</p>
<p>A green roof really has very little to do with color, although there are a few different uses for the terminology. Most commonly, green roofs are environmentally friendly roofing systems made from recycled materials. The life cycle of these roofs is much longer than that of traditional roofing systems. They also require much less work by way of maintenance requirements, and the materials used in the roofs can be recycled once they have reached the end of their life spans.</p>
<p>Several different sustainable building materials can be used on a green roof. The key is choosing a durable product that will keep the elements at bay. Some asphalt shingles contain recycled paper, but are not recyclable themselves and require more frequent replacement. Recycled rubber roofing, made from recycled tires, is a relatively new product on the market with a high likelihood for durability.</p>
<p>Steel and aluminum roofs can have recycled content levels as high as 100%, are lightweight and durable, easily recyclable, reduce energy usage by reflecting heat, and are an optimum surface for rainwater collection systems. Slate, clay, and concrete tiles are durable, easy to recycle, and more attractive than some other roofing materials, but along with their more aesthetically pleasing characteristics come at a higher initial cost. The products used in the installation of a roof can also affect its level of sustainability. Cold adhesives reduce odor and the amount of hazardous fumes emitted during application.</p>
<p>Newer hot adhesives have also been introduced with lower emissions ratings. Another recent advancement is the fume-capturing kettle, which true to its name, reduces the amount of fumes released by adhesives. Another option in green roofing can actually provide energy to meet electrical needs. This is done through solar roofing systems.</p>
<p>Solar roof shingles are one such example. These shingles create no air or noise pollution. They can be used as a sole source of energy by charging batteries to use at night or overcast days. Or they can be used in conjunction with standard utilities, removing some of the dependence placed on traditional energy sources and lowering overall environmental impact.</p>
<p>Another solar roofing option is the solar panel. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity in the same manner as solar roof shingles and can be installed onto an existing roof on the portion that gets the most direct sun exposure. Converting to a green or solar roof has many more benefits than disadvantages. It helps save money.</p>
<p>Solar and green roofing has many advantages. It helps save the earth and the environment and improves personal health through lower pollution levels. It stimulates the economy through an increased interested in green technologies. Finally, and most importantly, it just makes sense.</p>
