Envirotile and the test of time….

One of the questions we get asked about a lot is how our tiles will age over time, given plastic does not have quite the same life cycle characteristics as mined slate, which takes millions of years to form. In contrast, our slate effect tiles take about 90 seconds to create and do not involve significant environmental damage to the landscape given Envirotile is made from recycled plastic.

Whilst we can't provide a guarantee that stretches into the millions of years, we do provide one that lasts for 40 years. Unlike slate or concrete, our tiles will not crack or blow off during a storm and unlike concrete, our tiles will not absorb moisture and become covered in moss within a few years.

When choosing a lightweight roof tile, you will want one that can be trusted to perform in the worst UK weather conditions. We are proud of our tiles, they are an engineered roof covering solution with a unique interlocking “8Fix” connection system that provides unrivalled levels of resistance to wind lift, whereas our competitors have simply made a plastic version of a slate tile we have created a better than slate tile that still retains the look and feel of slate.

Colour fade can be an issue with plastics, but our tiles are protected against UV damage and they have stood the test of time. Don’t take our word for it. The roof shown below on the left was covered in Envirotile anthracite black tiles in 2012. This is a recent picture showing the roof looking ostensibly the same as it did in 2012. The roof on the right used a competitor product that has not stood up quite so well to the passing of the years. We can't tell you the original colour, but it probably wasn't white....

Envirotile, the sustainable roofing system that turns the problem of waste plastic into one of the most basic of human needs, a roof over our heads.

We are extremely proud to announce the first commercial installation of EnvirotilePV.

Our customer wanted to turn his workshop into a powerhouse and so we supplied and installed 96 EnvirotilePV solar tiles, producing 2.4kw (confirmed on site). This required three strings of 32 tiles, with each string being terminated at a DC isolator, so the customer can safely connect to a charge controller, battery and inverter.

Given that Envirotile was created in response to the sustainability problem resulting from discarded plastic, we are delighted to have brought the EnvirotilePV to market in order to further reduce the use of fossil fuels to provide energy, whilst also making a roof look beautiful, in combination with the Envirotile roofing system 😃.

Let’s talk about storms and why Envirotile is fit to take on the worst of British Winter weather.

As we all know, it has been getting more windy, more often. It seems Climate Change is catching up with us and is resulting in more extreme weather events being experienced in the UK. In fact, such is the increased tempo of storms, we are now following the Americans by naming each of them. The UK Climate Projections report (UKCP18, Lowe et al., 2018) stated that Winter wind speeds are projected to increase through the rest of this century, accompanied by an increase in the frequency of winter storms. So we can all look forward to a lot more cracked or missing concrete and slate tiles and listening to the din of clattering loose tiles that are gradually working themselves loose.

Whilst Envirotile won’t stop Climate Change, they will stay firmly attached to your roof, courtesy of the patented interlocking design and the “8Fix” fixing system. In layman terms, this means that the combined strength of an entire roof covered with interlocking tiles, where each one is also secured in eight places, makes it considerably less vulnerable to high wind speeds, than traditional overlapping slate that is attached to the roof using only two nails. A roof covered using Envirotile, won’t clatter in strong winds as they are made of recycled plastic, and it’s not going anywhere having been tested to wind speeds of 145 km/h on roof pitches as low as 12.5 degrees.

Most roofers can rely on rich pickings from roofing repairs resulting from Winter storms, as damage is increasingly common and entirely predictable. Watch the share price of the Insurers drop following a major storm in anticipation of the claims that will surely follow. We have been supplying Envirotile for 13 years and during that time we have offered an “8Fix” stormproof guarantee, which means that in the event of any tiles coming off the roof as a result of strong winds and assuming the tiles have been fitted in accordance with our guidance, then we will replace any damaged tiles free of charge. To date, we have had no calls about storm damaged tiles.

Strong storms combined with traditional roof coverings are not a good long term mix. Slate tiles have been in use for hundreds of years by a roofing industry that is extremely resistant to change. However, it’s only a matter of time before Insurance companies force change as they seek to reduce the cost of damage claims by offering reduced premiums for houses that are built using materials that are resistant to extreme weather events. Products such as Envirotile. Likewise, what price do you put on a good night sleep without the constant clattering of tiles.

Cometh the hour, cometh the tile. Envirotile.
