Sustainability
Sustainability ensures the future of the environment, and your business. That’s why SystemComponents® products are engineered to be environmentally responsible. To determine the environmental responsibility of a structure, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) have each established rating systems (NGBP1 and LEED2). A higher rating denotes a healthier home at a lower cost to the environment. So how can FelTex products contribute to raising your ratings and lowering your environmental impact?
- SystemComponents products are termite- and water-resistant, reducing structure degradation from the elements and enhancing longevity.
- SystemComponents products contain no asphalt and are 100% recyclable in regions with established recycling programs.
- SystemComponents products are more stable in wetting cycles than traditional roofing felt.
- SystemComponents products may contain up to 10% recycled material.
- Because SystemComponents products weigh less than conventional underlayments, there is less transportation pollution than traditional underlayment materials.
- SystemComponents products weigh less than Type 30 felt or other asphalt-saturated underlayments and comes in efficient sizes to help reduce construction waste.
