Metal Roofing: Green on Top

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

Looking for a "green" roof that fits your environmentalist leanings? These shingles are made with .020" thick aluminum and come with a 50-year transferable guarantee.

These aluminum shingles are made with some recycled material and are themselves 100% recyclable. They're sturdy as well -- rated to withstand both 110 mile per hour winds and wind-driven rains.

Choose from several colors (green, brown, light gray, dark gray and more).

Series 3105 Aluminum Alloy Shingles measure 15" x 9-1/8".

Price is $300 a square, which includes shingles, flashing, nails and shipping expense ($214 a square for shingles only) (October 2006).
