SINCE 1996
Roofeco System S.L. is a family business whose seeds were first sown in 1996 in Costa Rica in response to the problems of a multinational corporation which didn’t know what to do with the bags used to cover the bunches of bananas on their plantations. From that year on that waste stopped polluting rivers and farming land and turned into decorative roofs thanks to the production of roof tiles made of recycled plastic. Our ecological footprint began with the reuse of this waste which otherwise would pollute the environment. For example: producing 20 m2 of plastic roof tiles helped clean one hectare of banana plantation.
PRESENT
100% Recycled Polymer with Additives
Roofeco is currently headquartered in Spain, where we have continually evolved to adapt to new conditions and continue developing sustainable, high-quality products. In this process, we have chosen to use recycled polymer with additives, a highly durable, flexible, and resilient material.
This polymer offers excellent resistance to impacts, UV rays, and extreme weather conditions. It is also 100% recyclable, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability. Thanks to these properties, our tiles maintain their appearance and performance for many years with minimal maintenance.
We produce sustainable synthetic roof tiles.
Thanks to the investment of a group of engineers in the project, sustainability became a profitable idea.
Our idea is to convert this waste into synthetic roof tiles which replace the traditional clay and ceramic tiles but with an improved performance: lighter and 100% waterproof, a slightly flexible tile which can be stepped on, not fading and without need of maintenance.
Currently our roof tiles are made in Spain and distributed all over the world, mainly in Europe, Central and South America and the United States.
Conventional roof tiles emit approximately 3.8 kg of CO2 per m², that is 3.8 tons of CO2 per 1000 m².
Roofeco synthetic roof tiles emit approx. 1.6 kg of CO2 per m², that is, 1.6 tons of CO2 per 1000 m².
COMING SOON
Roofeco Solar: New solar panels for our tiles
Roofeco Solar is a plastic roof tile that features an integrated solar module. It can be easily installed on roofs using the Roofeco system, with no need for additional mounts or structures.
In addition to our standard colors: black, terracotta red, and chocolate brown, the Roofeco system can be manufactured in virtually any color, including the integrated solar module upon request.
Lightweight and easy to install
Our solar tile weighs only 7.5 kg, making it easy for a single person to install.
Roofeco roof tile components are manufactured in Spain and meet strict European quality standards. The solar tile itself is produced in Germany and uses state-of-the-art components.
Roofeco in Spain
Our roof covering materials take advantage of the experience gained in America since 1996 in order to offer an added value to our clients. To obtain these products, the engineers of Roofeco System S.L. developed in a RD&i programme several innovations such as no visible screws and no need of mortar for installation. Furthermore, our lightweight roof tiles include nano-technology which turns the material more resistant to UV degradation, lessens thermal transmission and noise. Thanks to these properties, our synthetic roofing has 20 years guarantee, although its life span can be superior to 50 years.
Our suppliers comply with European quality norms, thanks to which we can offer our clients an unequalled guarantee.
