I have had this product on my house for 5 years now, in Canada. Went with the black slate, looks incredible. 1700sq ft bungalow with attached garage, looks fantastic and has seen winds over 100km/hr and major hail with no damage. Love it.
House just got done in Riverbend Edmonton with the shake style. The house was done in a week. I saw a wooden shake roof install that took 2 months. Looks good too.
Do you know about how fire resistance comparing to asphalt shingles? Whats the Total age of the product on use and how easy to recycle them again? Those are the questions that I'm wondering. Would you be able to answer any of them for me pretty please? Thank you in advance :)
@@fzr1000981 six years and looks great. Lost it's original gloss or shine after about one year. Company said it would. Went to a more satin or matte sheen and has stayed that way.
@@Siwashable I've been researching roof coverings in the UK for a few weeks now & not seen any products like this available. I think the fact that in England (not Scotland) battens are almost always used instead of boards/sarking may have something to do with the slow uptake as I'd imagine you'd need boards/sarking to support the rubber.
They do it in Arizona. The ride is quieter & the roads last longer. This must aggravate the road builders - maybe that is why they are not used everywhere - too many politicians & playoffs in the way.
It's nice and I would love to have it on my home, but I just got a quote and it cost more than three times the price of the best regular shingles. If it was just twice as much to do the job I would have taken it and promoted it. If you listen to the lady in the video she mentions that Euroshield sells it for $250. per square for the lower grade and $360. for their best grade but when the contractor sells it to the homeowner it's around $900. per square for the lower grade, so the average home owner especially in my age range can't enjoy this recycled product.
@@gerald4027 You are probably right--the price for the rubber ones are just not worth it. I finally decided to buy the steel shingles and we are very happy with them.
I would like a metal roof but not at $38k at the age of 62 when installed. Rubber was recommended. I’m researching this to see how others like their choices.
Car tires contain potential carcinogens that can be released during off gassing. Has this product been tested for any health hazards? Texas gets hot in the summer, will the heat cause more VOC release? Does it require a lot of glue to install? How does this product compare to a more popular product such as the DaVinci Bellaforte line? Which one is more suitable for Texas weather?
Cant imagine that stuff holding up. I have 3/4" horse stall mats that are made from recycled tires, outside year round and they dont last more than 3-5 years before they start falling apart.
you ever see a tire crack and degrade? my tires have 70,000 miles from short commutes to office and look like new. Plenty of thread left. Also, fire resistance cannot possibly be worse than asphalt. Plenty of videos showing a burning asphalt inferno. Imagine a roofing product made of the tough material of a tire; AND; all it has to do is lie flat on a roof; not rolling on a road. Some countries are incorporating used tire material into new roads with fantastic results. I thought of this idea many years ago, I am glad someone has finally made such a product. Only wish it was available in the U.S.
Hi, Am from India, do u have supplies of these tiles in India?! if there's a possibility to spread your business this side. interested to taking it up !
@@RoofingInsights3.0 can i use melted tube or tyre on wood directly or i have to put something on the wood ? do i have to mix anything in the melted rubber? its for waterproofing .
Florence, these have a tongue and groove connecting system now that allows them to seal together. It's not visible in the video, but we just got some samples into our office, and they all have it.
When they dumped1000s of tires to make reefs in Florida . They leached petroleum into water ..killed everything . Iassuigthis is an issue for your yard
I bet that roofing burns beautifully in a house fire and really helps on air quality as well. 🤯 Chopped tires is also great for landscaping and kids playgrounds as well. NOT!

UV resistance?

Absolutely the way to go, now, as in Europe we need to incorporate recycled tires into our road construction materials...
In north America, we have been using recycled road asphalt to pave roads and highways for may years... I've sure they do this as well in Europa!

In the beginning: I've heard of you ..
Same guy towards the end: i haven't heard of you
😄🤦♂️
I have had black rubber membrane on my south facing roof for almost ten years. It's working as planned and looks good.
+Kevin Hornbuckle thanks for feedback
Any UV fade?
@@fzr1000981 I will have to climb up there and have a look.
is it safe for water harvest?

Is it $900 a square including installation??
@@RoofingInsights3.0 That is still %300 ; three hundred percent markup; maybe more if a roofer buys it wholesale.
$250-360 is the retail price
I was quoted 3x the amount of designer shingles and a 20% waste for extra something. I think that something will be sold to someone else.

@@dennisdelaney1801.How is your metal roof doing?

Did you end up getting this?

I wonder if I use tire shine to clean them?
We can't even install it in our city because it's not Class A fire-rated.

Arent they being stepped on all the time though. Your roof doesn't really see much action even when it Snow/hails/rain.
@@ubacow7109 Its the sun not foot traffic
Alternative roofing for your home
Wake up customer, half asleep there, in la la land.
Don’t tires dry rot after 6 or 7 years?
interesting product, i wonder how long it lasts
how do you mount solar panels to these shingles?
Looks great but how long will it last??
Even Rubber tires will crack and degrade eventualy,,also how resistant to fire?

@@garfieldisgod also use metal roofs act as an oven to bake someone in their house if ever a fire was to ever occur.
@@garfieldisgod I think this has a class-B fire rating. Which is actually worse than asphalt.
@richyoung6725 what area?
Not Euroshield, but hers a picture of Tamko Lamartine after ten years after a storm was pretty chewed up-
I'm rooting for this product but I'm leery........ I've never seen a set of tires last 5-10 years without dry rot cracks..
Come back tomorrow for an update!
Link?
glad you looking at this i thinking of it like to see how it holds up i looking at metal shingles also be nice to have. this my last roof lol
Love this product
Hail would just bounce off
Hi, Am from India, do u have supplies of these tiles in India?!
if there's a possibility to spread your business this side. interested to taking it up !
what is the Vermont HP now a square?
Are u apart of this?
Won’t last in the beating sun it will dry out and curl up
time will show!
Just bought one today lifetine warranty, feels like Christmas eve
@@RoofingInsights3.0 can i use melted tube or tyre on wood directly or i have to put something on the wood ? do i have to mix anything in the melted rubber? its for waterproofing .
Well, at that outrageous price, i will start using wood shingles again. I can make my own.
Im wondering how they seal? wont high winds cause wind driven rain under the shingles?
thanks for loving my comment...but it doesn't answer my queries?
never...and..its stronger thn.. asphalt roof..like.presidential.

@@ScottBarbich that’s correct. The tongue & groove feature they added since this video was a game changer. Went through hurricane Ian perfectly!
retail $250-$360/sq....is y u ain't heard of it😊

Stick with cedar. For that price.
