Traditional roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles and concrete tiles, have significant environmental footprints due to their manufacturing processes and disposal issues. These materials often contribute to urban heat islands, increase energy consumption, and lead to higher carbon emissions. The construction industry has recognised the need to shift towards sustainable solutions that minimise environmental impact while enhancing building performance. This is where APL Apollo RoofTuff comes into play.
