As homeowners and builders become more environmentally conscious, the roofing industry is witnessing a major shift. Traditional roofing materials like asphalt and metal are now being compared to modern eco roofing solutions that promise durability, energy efficiency, and sustainability.
At Scaffs India, we understand this balance between eco-friendly innovation and long-lasting performance, helping homeowners across Kerala make smarter roofing choices.
What Is Eco Roofing?
Eco roofing refers to environmentally responsible roofing systems designed to reduce energy use, lower carbon footprints, and minimize waste. These roofs are made from recycled, natural, or energy-efficient materials, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional options.
Popular eco roofing materials include:
Solar Roof Tiles – Generate electricity while providing weather protection.
Clay and Terracotta Tiles – 100% natural, biodegradable, and thermally efficient.
Rubber and Composite Shingles – Made from recycled materials with long lifespans.
Cool Roof Shingles – Reflect sunlight to keep homes cooler in hot climates.
Discover eco-friendly designs like Solar Roof Tiles – Tejas Borja and Borja Tech Roofing Tiles — combining performance with sustainability.
Traditional Roofing: Strength and Familiarity
Traditional roofing systems such as asphalt shingles, concrete tiles, or metal sheets have been the go-to choices for decades. They are durable, affordable, and widely available — but often less energy-efficient and less eco-friendly in the long run.
At Scaffs India, we also provide Asphalt 3-Tab Roofing Shingles that offer proven performance and a cost-effective roofing solution for Kerala homes.
Key Differences Between Eco and Traditional Roofing

| Environmental Impact | Low carbon footprint, recyclable | Higher emissions, non-biodegradable |
| Lifespan | Long-lasting and sustainable | Durable but may degrade faster |
| Maintenance | Low – resistant to weathering | Moderate – periodic maintenance required |
| Cost | Higher initial investment, long-term savings | Lower upfront, higher energy costs over time |
