Expanding Roofing Market and Increasing Adoption of Environment-Friendly Solutions

By Anshula Mandaokar, 29 December, 2022

Solar roofing has gained popularity because of its photovoltaic shingles, which can use solar energy for the home or structure while simultaneously acting as standard roof tiles. Manufacturers are broadening their portfolios of environmentally friendly roofing products. GAF Energy, a major manufacturer of solar roofing in North America, announced the debut of their ground-breaking Timberline Solar roof on December 13, 2022. Timberline Solar is the only solution that incorporates solar technology directly into standard roofing processes and materials. Timberline Solar is constructed of shingles rather than panels or hefty tiles. These tiles are water-resistant, robust, and can endure winds of up to 130 mph. The solar roofing system features the world's first nailable solar shingle, the Timberline Solar Energy Shingle (ES), which is built domestically at GAF Energy's U.S. manufacturing and R&D facility. Technology and innovation have accelerated the growth of the roofing business. Roofing companies now use cutting-edge technologies to assure the quality of their products and services.

The roofing industry has undergone a fundamental shift in the last decade. The increase in demand for various types of sheets that provide superior protection for roof and wall structures may be ascribed to two main reasons: expansion in industrial applications and want to move away from traditional procedures. New sophisticated materials are increasingly taking a central role. Polycarbonate roofing sheets, for example, are increasingly popular in industrial and big commercial structures due to their low maintenance costs and ease of installation. Along with this, there is a growing demand for clear roofing panels in patios and sunrooms. Whereas the expanding environmental concerns are greatly increasing the market for sustainable products like zinc-aluminum coated sheets, and more. The notion of environmentally friendly operations is now widely accepted across all industrial sectors, including roofing, contracting, and building. Metal and solar roofing are two distinct types of eco-friendly roofing that are on the rise. The solar roofing industry is predicted to be driven by the rising influence of solar-friendly regulations and the growing number of accessible solar roofing solutions.
