Polymer roofing is one of the very few industries that actually reuses spent plastic polymer particles (microplastics), slowing that build-up while also cutting the need for creation of 'new' plastics. What's more, its uniquely seamless, jointless properties also make polymer roofing perfect as a durable, waterproof base for garden roofs - allowing zero water ingress and protecting your home beneath.
