Climate resilience and circularity
When building or refurbishing the buildings where we live, work and learn, we also need to consider weather extremes resulting from climate change across the world, as well as prioritize resource efficiency and sustainability to make them more circular.
For these reasons, the owners of this house chose Malarkey’s NEX® rubberized asphalt roofing shingles, which provide superior all-weather resilience and a longer product life. The black oak shingles also look great and complement the original wood and stone exterior of the house.
The shingles deliver on the sustainability front by incorporating recycled content to reduce virgin material use and landfill waste. To produce the shingles used on this roof alone, Malarkey recycled around 22 rubber tires and 14,700 plastic bags, while ‘planting’ the equivalent of seven trees to help clean the air thanks to the company’s smog-reducing roofing granules.
