Synthetic Roofs
Synthetic Roofing in Peoria, IL
Synthetic roofing is a relatively new offering in the roofing industry, but it's quickly gaining popularity among homeowners who are looking for a durable and eco-friendly option for their homes. This category of material refers to manufactured products that mimic the look of more traditional shingles, but the main components are often made of recycled plastics and/or rubber. Synthetic shingles can be made to look like slate, clay tile, wood shake and more, making them a versatile choice for homeowners who want the look of traditional roofing materials without the cost or environmental impact.
Advantages of Synthetic Roofing
