  • Help Improve Our Climate with a Smog-eating Roof

    Air quality issues are not limited to large cities. In fact, according to the American Lung Association's State of the Air report, 141.1 million Americans—more than four in 10—lived in counties with unhealthy levels of either ozone or particle pollution in 2017-2019.

    Each home or building with smog-reducing shingles helps remove smog pollutants that come in contact with that roof. Help decrease smog pollutants in your community by turning your roof into a smog fighting surface. The roof on a typical home has the smog-fighting capacity of 2-3 trees with over 1 million trees worth of smog-fighting roofing installed so far.
