The lower carbon status of Kerabit Neo roofing is achieved, among other things, by replacing part of the traditional raw materials with renewable and recycled raw materials. All Kerabit Neo products are manufactured at our Lohja factory and carry the Key Flag Symbol.
Reduce the carbon footprint of buildings
Carbon emissions from roofing manufacturing can account for up to a quarter of the emissions from materials used in construction. Therefore, depending of the building type you can have a significant effect on the low-carbon status of the building by choosing low-emission roofing. The carbon emissions (GWP Total A1-A3) during the manufacture of Kerabit Neo products are depending on the product 48 - 59 % lower than for corresponding basic products compared with the national emissions database CO2data.
As good as the basic bitumen roofing
With the exception of environmental impact, the technical properties of Kerabit Neo products are equal to those of basic products of the same type. We pay particular attention to the waterproofing properties of all our bitumen roofing products.
In addition, Kerabit Neo products have a long service life, as do all Kerabit bitumen roofing products. At the end of their service life products can be recycled e.g.to asphalt manufacturing via recycling stations.
