Honestly, when I first saw the shingles, I didn’t think it was gonna look that great. But it actually looks really good! And yeah, that should last a long time and be super resistant against hail or anything else nature throws at it, pretty cool. It being recycled is a final bonus.

[@michaelstrang2563]

Looks like cheap trash, either save up and get a tile or slate roof, or don’t waste your money. A lot of people in my area did this and it is so blatantly fake and trashy looking, I hope this trend ends quickly.

Makes no difference what R value you add to a roof. Unless you are insulating the attic to be room temp, which is a waste of money.

It's quite 'The Looker' as far as roofing materials go... Looks like a million, goes so well with the rest of the structure.. Excellent choice for sure.

[@TheNoahjf]

Pro tip: Instead of face nailing the flashing with roof nails and caulking over the nail heads, use a color matched metal roofing screw. Looks better, self seals so is a quicker install, and lasts longer.

do you guys do a kick out at the bottom of the step flashing? wasnt sure if you did it after or not! love seeing a new style of roofing put down

[@elemental_self]

man, that looks so clean and crispy. great video showcasing a neat product

[@johnwest7993]

I think where I live in snow country I'd put down some adhesive under the edges of the shingles in the valleys. Melting snow creates small dams on the roof and water backs up, (just one of the reasons for the pitch of our roofs.)

[@DavidSummerly]

Ice & Water under the valley. Solar seal 900 is the required sealant.

Looks Great. I wouldve liked to see that first piece of step flashing have a "kick out" diverting water away from the siding and into the gutter. Great Product, I operate in Southern Alberta and have used Euroshield quite a few times.

@@DavidSummerly Rubber tires are full of carcinogens... IF that 3rd party study ever happened, and IF they claim that that water off the roof was completely safe and non-toxic, then you'd better read the small print to see what conflicts of interest there are, because it's not safe. THAT is why the company doesn't encourage it. Because they'd be sued if they did.

[@johnlee7085]

@carole… You seem to be making some assumptions. While there are carcinogens in the rubber, they are not necessarily being released in rain water. I am just learning about this roof, so I don’t know definitively about this particular situation but am aware of a similar study. The North Coast Regional Water Board for the state of California and the City of Ukiah did one a few years ago to investigate whether crumb rubber could be used in stormwater filtration features. I think it was Humbolt State University that conducted the study and basically found that the recycled tire material did not adversely affect the filtration of the soil medium with crumb rubber in it.

Looks great. I bet thats way heavier than other roofing materials. Not sure if that would ever be an issue. It seems like it would be better to nail that flashing going under the siding on the vertical side thru the siding, than to nail thru the roof and caulk over, but im sure u have a good reason for doing it that way…

[@milkywayan2232]

Nice product. Will be interesting to see how it plays out over time. Showing how to install a roof jack, then commenting that you could leave the nails there without mentioning they need to be tapped down tight to the shingle they are holding could use a comment. Then removing a roof jack, and beating down on the shingle over top of the nails, that are still proud of the surface of the shingle below is inviting trouble. North Carolina state motto. "To be rather than to seem". I've seen some of your other videos. You guys get some nice work, and your videos are slick. I like the planning of the high points on joists before applying the deck. I also liked when you cautioned folks to tack trim, that is part of a larger assembly, until All the components of the assembly are tacked in place so you can view it as a whole before Permanently nailing.

[@milkywayan2232]

"Planing" not "planning". Also the shingle you were beating on was with your hand, not with a hammer.. You could've injured yourself and the shingle

Makes it a little easier if you nip the 90 degree corners off when sliding flashing up under the siding. Doesn’t take much. Maybe an inch in from the tip of the 90 and turn it into a 45 or so. Great job. I had never seen this type of roofing material.

Since its rubber i wonder if its going to turn gray over time then start to crack. Also idk how i feel when they just caulk over exposed nails like that. That caulk just peels off after a couple days or weeks lol.

[@idontthinkso666]

They test them just like asphalt shingles. They have a 50-year warranty, double what the best asphalt shingles offers. Did you think they didn't anticipate these questions?

[@DavidSummerly]

This particular roof is already grey. Carbon black base make it literally impossible for them to fade like plastics which tend to have a clear or white base. If anything they’ll darken over time. 24 years running & only have gotten better throughout it. The sealant required is solar seal 900 for that reason. You don’t want one that dries out or doesn’t expand & contract at the same rate as the product.

[@mobayguy]

Awesome product - may need to use it one day. Cool

Wonder if it will get dry rot like all tires do.. doesn't seem lifetime to me...

[@Euroshieldroofing]

@@FJB2020 We have a FAQ page under our Resources menu on our website, but here is the answer in short! To answer this question properly you have to understand what makes tires crack. Tires have metal wiring in them, this is what gives the tire its shape, and when you expand & contract this wire enough it will eventually break. When the metal in the tire breaks you will visually see the rubber crack or separate. Euroshield roofing materials contain no metal so we do not have to worry about this problem. In both real-life & lab-testing, Euroshield has never cracked.

[@FJB2020]

@@Euroshieldroofing I went down a rabbit hole of every review of your company and the company it was before the rebrand.. It looks like a nice product, but I read the complaints and they all have the same issues of curling and cracking which is exactly what rubber does in direct sunlight. Quote from Goodyear "The sidewall weathering that is visually evident on the tire occurs when the rubber compounds used to make the tire begin to break down" So, I am not sure how you tweaked the formula to keep the UV degradation down, but it just doesn't seem like a long term roof... Unless you have third party case study on the longevity...

[@rhondakennedy819]

I did not know you had to leave the very top of the roof with a long hole in it. It makes sense for the summer, but what happens in winter with the cold. The cold to me is heavy, so it would sink in to the house. Am I wrong about the cold? Leslie is talking to Jamie with all the info so he could know. He is so funny! And Erik is cutting Jamie off as usual. Jay, is quiet today. Looks very pretty! Love you guys

[@CinnamonTrees]

The vents are above the insulation layer - the air that passes through them doesn't come from inside the house. As the roof heats up, the air underneath the roofing also heats, and rises out of the top vent, drawing cooler air into the bottom vents (which are located at or under the eaves). As far as I know, even in winter, the air will still warm slightly below the roofing, causing the same process to happen, albeit more slowly.

[@ibealion1]

You have to air seal and insulate between the attic and living space. In those conditions, the attic is its own separate environment.

[@johnlee7085]

Building Science has learned to use ridge vents because that’s where the moisture in the warm collects and condensates leading to ridge rot. Gotta give the warmer moister air a way to escape.

[@kenmarapese9085]

Beautiful roof!

[@pmccoy8924]

I'd imagine the weight is quite a bit more. With a full winters snow load, is their a structural change that needs to be made to use the tires or is it not that much of a difference?

[@Euroshieldroofing]

It weighs about the same as asphalt. Our 3/4 inch product (which is what's shown in this video) weighs 340 pounds per square, our thinner product (1/2 inch) weighs 240 pounds per square.

[@christophermapes5176]

My only concern with the 3-nails left over from the Roof Jack is IF they happen to line up on the shingle's undercarriage and structural support ridge and not the available open space that you say insulates from the the hot sun. Either a small hump will be there, or if someone steps on it could it create an issue? But they seem tough enough to withstand such aqn event - I like the lighter color Slate option, which would be more reflective of the sun's soalr heat energy.
