 | Innovative tile computer modeling and engineering design tools allow us to minimize the use of raw materials while not compromising the long term performance of the roof. |
| Our tile is specifically engineered to allow greater airflow between the tile and the roof deck - creating a more energy efficient roof system. |
| Using concrete roof tile reduces the transfer of heat into the attic space by 70 percent compared to other roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles. |
| MonierLifetile products have a high thermal mass that helps reduce peak energy demand, maintaining the comfort level in living spaces. |
|  Throughout a 50-year service life, a tile roof can reabsorb up to 20 percent of the CO2 emitted during the manufacture of the cement content.** |
| If concrete tile ever needs to be replaced, it can be recycled. By contrast, over 11 million tons of asphalt shingle waste is generated annually in the U.S. Reroofing jobs account for 10 million tons with another 1 million from manufacturing scrap.***
