“Why should I use Harvey EcoTile on my roof?”

Sustainability.

We turn plastic and waste materials destined for landfills and pollution into beautiful and durable roofs that are recyclable.

Durability.

Tested to withstand extreme wind, hail, fire, and UV exposure, Harvey EcoTile® is built for the harshest conditions. It’s backed by a 20-year warranty for complete peace of mind.

Versatility.

Thanks to its clever, lightweight design, EcoTile® can be installed on both new roofs and re-roofing projects – without major structural changes or disruptions.

Colour That Lasts.

Harvey EcoTile® is coloured all the way through using mineral pigment—not surface coatings. It passed accelerated UV testing simulating over 30 years of exposure with virtually no fading.
