G.E.M. EuroLite Slate Recycled-Rubber Roofing

EuroLite Slate recycled-rubber roofing by G.E.M. creates the look of slate roofing at a price comparable to that of premium asphalt shingles. Containing more than 75% recycled content—primarily rubber from used tires—it comes in 40″-wide-by-17″-high panels comprising four tabs. At approximately 2 pounds per square foot, the rubber shingles weigh much less than traditional slate shingles. Hip or ridge caps and valley, rake, and eave starter strips are available. EuroLite Slate comes in gray, black, or brown. euroshieldroofing.com
