The future of construction is moving towards a considerable over haul with the government\u2019s plans to go carbon neutral. This zero carbon proposal will significantly affect the roofing industry, especially in areas that rely on the use of cement and concrete, such as tiles and pointed verges to name just a couple.<\/p>\n

Each standard bag of cement contains 20 kilos of CO2<\/sub>. The carbon footprint can be heavily reduced by not encouraging and relying on the use of cement, but instead providing alternative and more efficient methods. The Easy Roof System <\/i>from Permavent, which recently was named on the Queen\u2019s birthday honours list for winning the Queen\u2019s Award for Innovation, does just that and pushes this zero carbon movement forward.<\/p>\n

The use of natural slate is as close to zero carbon as you can get in this industry. Through using Easy Slate <\/i>from Permavent\u2019s system, you can now use natural slates in roofing in ways that was only previously possible with manmade concrete tiles.
\nEasy Slate<\/i> eliminates the need for these manmade concrete tiles and is simply a side check strip placed beneath the slates at the perp joins. This allows natural slate to be installed on roofs with pitches that can go as low as 12o<\/sup>, whilst ensuring to be watertight and weather proof without effecting the traditional aesthetics and building practices.<\/p>\n

The cement pointed verge is another major contributor to the carbon footprint in the roofing industry, especially when considering the maintenance that is frequently required. Due to the cement mortars absorbent nature, repair work or complete replacements are common with this popular verge method.
\nPermavent\u2019s <\/i>unique Easy Verge<\/i> removes the requirement of this approach and eliminates any use of cement. The product fits neatly over the battens and beneath the slates where the unique rubber super seals prevent water creeping in. It is the only dry verge that doesn\u2019t leak and provides a perfect verge every time.<\/p>\n

The longevity of a roof using the Easy Roof System <\/i>and natural slate is greatly improved, whether it be through function or appearance, compared to a concrete tile roof. Also, with this improved lower roof pitch utilised, far fewer materials will be required per build and further reduces the carbon impact.
\nOther benefits of the Easy Roof System<\/i> include an improvement in roof ventilation which is sufficient to clear roof condensation, a high level of versatility, a low impact solution for listed and conservation building renovations and comes with a 40 year guarantee.<\/p>\n
