Used Tire Roof Shingles

I m going to be honest here this project overwhelmed me when i started it.

Used tire roof shingles.

The thought of taking a used tire and cutting it apart seemed like it might possibly be one of my worst ideas. Leading companies such as rubbur concepts and ecostar have begun using post consumer recycled tires to manufacture roof shingles. Once the treading is buffed off the rubber surface is coated. Yes ones that i cut myself.

I found a company called rubbur concepts that uses a compression mould to turn used tires into replica cedar and slate shingles. Like all new products there are pros and cons of using rubber shingles in place of traditional roofing material such as slate or wood. With just a kitchen knife. And then i just started.

To produce the shingles made from used vehicle tires euroshiled removes the tire wall and cuts the tread section into large pieces. It is a birdhouse with recycled tire shingles. Recycled tire rubber roofs are perfectly safe to walk on. As rubber shingle roofs become more prevalent and insurance companies recognize the superior performance of recycled rubber roofs in storms compared to asphalt you can expect insurance rates to drop for homes protected by rubber shingle roofs in the future.

I also found that old tires are shredded and used in combination with asphalt to pave roads.
