All Euroshield products are guaranteed up to 2″ hail. That’s big hail! No one else does this with such confidence. Denver and the Front Range of Colorado get lots of hail so this is a big deal. But Vermont Slate product offers a warranty for up to 4″ hail. That’s huge!! This is unprecedented protection. Class 4 Rated Shingles for Weather resistance is the highest designation and this product far exceeds all the minimum requirements.
Below is a video produced by Euroshield that demonstrates the violent impact of 4″ hail. It’s like a cannonball. What this vividly demonstrates is the toughness of their product.
Hail hits us here in Colorado every year. Some people’s homes have been hit multiple times in a few years. This gets to be a frustrating experience. The first hail storm seems great because you get a new roof. The second one isn’t so fun and by the third storm, real frustration sets in.
Here’s a possible solution to survive the next storm. Euroshield is a newer product in Colorado. You may not have heard of them yet. If you are tired of replacing your roof and want a longer-term solution than asphalt shingles, this is an option.
Killer Warranty. They back up their hail-proof claims with a really strong warranty. We will go into some detail on that below.
New Roof Plus was really impressed with Euroshield’s extreme eco-friendly manufacturing process. It’s made from 95% old tires. But as you can see from the images, it’s beautiful stuff as a finished product. To cover your home (assuming average size) it will take anywhere from 250 to 1000 tires to produce your rubber roofing shingle system. Even the scrap material left over after installation is reused, so there is virtually no harmful environmental waste.
Global Environmental Manufacturing (G.E.M.) Inc. is the manufacturer of Euroshield® Recycled Rubber Roofing Products. The company was founded in 1999 by Mr. Henry Kamphuis. He worked in the roofing industry for a roofing company in Canada but apparently, there was an ingenious inventor inside this roofer. Any story like this is never complete on a single page, as many years of very hard work, research and development, and trial and error most surely came before the product we see today.
The product is now known as Euroshield® rubber roof products, consisting of rubber taken from recycled tires. As most people know, used tires are a huge source of waste today. G.E.M. Inc. is turning this source of waste into a resource of great value.
The reverse side of each Euroshield® panel features small cubical chambers designed to ensure structural integrity. In turn, the cubicles trap air, creating an effective insulation barrier, which can contribute to reducing energy use in warmer climates.
An added benefit to the design is additional sound-deadening qualities. The interlocking tongue and groove design of the panels provide tremendous resistance to wind uplift, add to the structural integrity, and tie the whole roof system together, producing a tight water-resistant seal for maximum performance.
All warranties have a lot of fine print but this one stands out for its confidence in the long-term value and durability they project for the product. It’s essentially a forever warranty. 50 years is a long time. They have caveats in their deal but they are fair and not “gotcha” type requirements. Here’s the link again. Read through it yourself when you’re ready to dig in.
