Using DaVinci roof tiles ensures enduring beauty and low life cycle costs… and that’s just part of the story.
Cool Roof & Sustainability
Enduring Beauty
The choice to use our tiles over natural cedar shake results in a roof that saves trees and resists fire, hail and wind damage. The quarrying process of natural slate tiles consumes large amounts of fuel and is especially destructive to local ecosystems. Our tiles reduce waste with less breakage, keeping products out of landfills. A DaVinci roof represents sustainability for the building as well as for the environment.
Perhaps the most sustainable aspect of DaVinci tiles is their enduring beauty and low life cycle costs. Roofs that need frequent maintenance and replacement after as little as 15 years consume energy every step of the way, whereas DaVinci tiles have a 50-year warranty. Our roofing systems assure that our products will stand the test of time… providing beauty and durability for decades.

Cool Roofs
DaVinci Cool Roof tiles reflect sunlight and heat away from the home. Higher emissivity and reflectivity rates lead to greater reductions in the cooling load and in return increase energy efficiency. Their ability to reduce the consumption of energy meet Title 24 requirements for California.
Look for the Cool Roof symbol for options that can increase energy efficiency in your home.

Recycling Programs
Scraps and cuttings from a project may be returned to our plant for recycling, as well as, the tiles after the life expectancy (50 years) of the roof. The tiles will be recycled keeping waste from the landfill.
At DaVinci Roofscapes we manufacture tiles with engineered composite material, organic fire retardants and inorganic pigments that are safe for the environment. Any materials that fail to meet finished specs are re-purposed as starter tiles. All DaVinci tiles are 100% recyclable.
DaVinci tiles must be returned to the manufacturing plant in Lenexa, KS, to be recycled. Two programs are offered to recycle DaVinci tiles. Download our recycle program PDF.
