They start with a high density (EPS) foam shape, then wrap that foam with a high-strength, alkaline resistant, woven fiberglass mesh. They then coat every tile with a proprietary, high-strength cementatious coating.
This results in the roof meeting or exceeding lightweight standards, a finished roof with an average insulation value of R-6, roof tile that looks similar to solid cement or clay tiles, time-tests weatherability of cement or clay tiles, and it's ideal for re-roofing of wood shake and asphalt shingle structures.
The lightweight feature is helpful for new homes because it means less lumber is required in the framing support for this roof, which in turn means fewer trees cut down and can help conserve. When re-roofing, the weight of Insulite is similar to that of composite shingles. They can even ship twice as much Insulite roof tiles on a truck than typical cement or clay tile.
It's fire safe, as well, which means it has a non-combustible exterior with a class A fire rating. It being insulated means the keep attic temperatures moderate and increase comfort while reducing energy consumption in the home. Reducing the energy means lower bills and reducing your carbon footprint.
