Believe it or not used tires can be made into roofing tiles and it turns out they have many advantages over other roofing materials. Tires into roofing; old tires made into roof tiles is be is being done. There is a plant that is recycling 40,000 tires a day for roof tiles; so far it is the largest. They cut the tread into little squares and then coat them with a bunch of large granular sized sand pebbles and you stack them on the roof as tiles and they are suppose to work great. More factories are opening and a few are coming online right now.

There are many environmental groups and eco-friendly Think Tanks, which are systematically looking for solutions to the challenge of the accumulation of used tires. Their focus is to develop a strategy to deal with all the tires we throw away and using these old tires and rubber materials that meets certain criteria to make things out of. One of the concepts is to use these old tires in the building of structures.

Rubber used tires are piling up in the nations dumps and along our borders with Mexico, millions of them. They create hazards because rainwater is caught inside and remains stagnant and havens for Mosquitoes to lay their eggs. The piles of tires often catch on fire and are almost impossible to put out, while the smoke coming off of the melting rubber contains some of the most toxic substances known to mankind. By re-using these tires for roof shingles, which actually out last other shingles due to their tough construction, we can solve two problems at once. Think on This!
