NEW: RHEINLANDVARIABEL AS GREENER ROOF TILE – NOW EVEN MORE SUSTAINABLE
GREENER roof tiles are manufactured with electricity from hydropower and climate-neutral biogas. The result: 60 % less CO2 emissions than conventional roof tiles whose production uses fossil fuels. The tile model RHEINLANDVARIABEL from the GREENER product line is thus even more environmentally friendly than our roof tiles made of the natural building material clay already are. By the way, a GREENER roof tile product costs only a few cents more than a conventional roof tile. Please ask our partners in the roofing trade and specialist retailers for the current costs, which depend on the energy price. The note “GREENER” on the roof tile order is sufficient to actively do something for the environment. GREENER: modern, sustainable roof tile products for responsible roof design and a healthy future.

By the way: naturally sustainable GREENER products are also available for our other roof tile models and colours.
