Discover One of The Most Sustainable Roofing Products in the Industry

By Cass Jacoby, RCS Reporter. 

IB Roof System’s new carbon neutral calculator confirms that their PVC reflective membrane is one of the greenest products available on the market. 

Heidi J. Ellsworth visits with brothers Jason and Shawn Stanley of IB Roof Systems™ in a Roofing Road Trips episode to talk about the company's sustainability initiatives. 

Recently, IB Roof Systems employed studies from the U.S. Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Environmental Product Declaration, and Environmental Consultants to develop a calculator that helps homeowners and contractors see when their products will become carbon neutral. 

These calculations take into account IB Roof Systems’ business model; including direct-to-contractor distribution, strategically located warehouses, longevity and the resiliency of their membrane for nearly 40 years. “It involves everything about the whole business model, how you go to market, how you ship, how you distribute, it's all encompassing,” says Shawn. “Every aspect of the PVC reflective membrane leads to the most sustainable roofing product in the industry today.”  

You read that right — this is the first-ever documented carbon-neutral roofing membrane! The carbon calculator confirms that IB Roof Systems is committed to promoting sustainability across its business. Their products are not only designed for contractor success and homeowner satisfaction, they are designed in a sustainable, earth friendly way. 

“This is the same product we've been producing in the very similar way we've been producing it for 40 some years,” says Jason. “The data's just catching up to substantiate that this is one of the best roofing products, not only for its lifecycle but also because it's easy for contractors to work with and install. Plus it’s one of the most sustainable, environmentally friendly roofing products in the industry today.”
