Roofing Industries recently completed and achieved GreenTagCertTM GreenRate Level A certification for our roll-Formed Metal Roofing, Cladding, Flashing and Rainwater Systems using ColorCote. The process begun approximately 6 months ago with the help of ColorCote and their EPD (Environmental Product Declaration). Thank you to Steve Haines and his team for their great help! What this certification means is that Roofing Industries has put in place globally recognised initiatives to develop, market, and sell products that are achieving less negative environmental and health impacts in the built environment industry. This will help us achieve more specification with architects and win more projects where environmental considerations are important. We can use the Global GreenTag logo prominently in our marketing and sales exercises, specifically in association with ColorCote product (e.g. marketing our website, brochures, products and trade displays).If you would like more information please read the following link:

The availability of energy saving products are high on the wish-list for designers and building owners, and fortunately Roofing Industries and its suppliers are continually investigating methods to improve thermal heat loss and gain characteristics through translucent roofing and cladding systems By sheer design, natural roof lighting systems transmit infra-red heat from the sun and unfortunately in some cases transmitted heat can make a building interior literally unbearable. Natural roof lighting systems can also be extremely complex and to ensure the appropriate project specific material is used requires careful analysis prior to specification. A number of heat reflecting and absorbing natural lighting products have been designed either by tinting or alternatively the introduction of heat reflective pigments. Other developments include the use of bonded twin skinned natural roof light systems preventing transmitted heat and or loss of heat through the roof lights. During the building design process, Roofing Industries architectural team is available to assist ensuring the appropriate products are utilized.
