When it comes to protecting your home, the roof is your first and most important line of defense. In a city like Edmonton, where winter can be harsh and summer storms can roll in without warning, your roofing choice matters more than ever. That’s where Euroshield rubber roofing systems come in—a smart, sustainable, and stylish solution built to withstand it all.
Let’s explore why Euroshield rubber roofing is becoming a top choice for homeowners across Edmonton and how Scherger Roofing helps bring this game-changing product to life.
What is Euroshield Rubber Roofing?
Euroshield is a premium line of roofing products made from recycled rubber, primarily sourced from old tires. Yes, tires! It’s an innovative way to repurpose materials that would otherwise end up in landfills, turning them into durable, impact-resistant roofing systems that look just like traditional shingles, shakes, or slate.
Each Euroshield roof not only performs at a high level but also contributes to reducing environmental waste. Talk about beauty with a purpose.
The manufacturing process involves grinding down rubber tires and combining them with proprietary polymers to create weather-resistant, flexible roofing panels. These panels are then shaped and textured to mimic the look of traditional roofing materials, without their common drawbacks. The result? A roofing system that combines aesthetics, longevity, and performance.
Designed for the Wild Weather of Edmonton
Edmonton homeowners know how unpredictable the weather can be. From -30°C wind chills to golf-ball-sized hail, your roof needs to handle it all. Euroshield was built with this in mind.
Here’s why it excels in our climate:
- Impact Resistance: Euroshield shingles can withstand the force of extreme hail without cracking or splitting. They’re rated for Class 4 impact resistance, the highest in the industry.
- Thermal Stability: These roofs expand and contract with temperature changes without warping, cracking, or delaminating—ideal for Edmonton’s freeze-thaw cycles.
- Snow & Ice Resistance: Rubber is less prone to the freeze-thaw damage that affects traditional materials like asphalt and wood. Water is repelled rather than absorbed, reducing ice dam risks.
- Wind Performance: Tested against strong wind conditions, Euroshield roofing stays firmly in place. It meets or exceeds building codes for wind uplift resistance.
- Fire-Resistant: Euroshield products carry a Class C fire rating, adding another layer of safety for your home.
In other words, this roofing system doesn’t just survive Edmonton’s weather—it thrives in it.
Longevity and Low Maintenance
One of the biggest selling points of Euroshield is its longevity. With a 50-year warranty and an expected lifespan to match, you can count on this roof to protect your home for decades. It’s engineered to last as long as your house does—and maybe even longer.
Unlike asphalt shingles, which can crack, fade, and curl over time, Euroshield rubber roofing resists damage, discoloration, and wear. It requires minimal maintenance, meaning fewer calls to the repair company and more peace of mind for you.
Routine maintenance typically involves simple visual inspections and the occasional cleaning. There’s no need for constant resealing, treating, or patching. Homeowners find this especially appealing, as it means fewer surprises and lower long-term costs.
In addition, rubber roofing systems are naturally algae-resistant, so you won’t have to deal with unsightly green or black streaks commonly seen on traditional roofs.
Eco-Friendly & Economical
Each Euroshield roof is made from approximately 250 to 1,000 recycled tires, depending on the size of your home. That means you’re not just protecting your house—you’re helping protect the planet.
By using recycled materials, Euroshield prevents thousands of tires from clogging up landfills each year. It’s a meaningful way to reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying the benefits of a cutting-edge roofing product.
And while the initial investment may be higher than traditional roofing, the long-term savings are undeniable:
- Fewer replacements (50-year lifespan vs. 15-20 years for asphalt)
- Lower maintenance costs
- Potential insurance discounts due to impact resistance
- Increased home value
It’s the perfect blend of performance and sustainability—a true win-win.
Curb Appeal Without Compromise
Worried about how rubber might look? Don’t be. Euroshield products are designed to mimic the appearance of high-end roofing materials like cedar shakes and natural slate.
You can choose from:
- Rundle Slate: A luxurious, slate-inspired look with deep texture and dramatic lines. Ideal for homeowners who want a high-end aesthetic without the weight or fragility of real stone.
- Beaumont Shake: A rustic, hand-split cedar appearance that adds warmth and natural charm to your home.
- Harvest Shake: A traditional wood-shake aesthetic with modern performance features. Great for classic homes and cozy cottages.
Euroshield products come in a variety of rich, natural colors that complement any exterior palette. With fade-resistant technology, your roof will look great for decades without needing re-coloring or touch-ups.
Noise Reduction: A Hidden Bonus
Rubber roofing systems also have acoustic benefits. Euroshield roofing significantly reduces outside noise, making your home quieter and more comfortable. Whether it’s a torrential downpour, hailstorm, or neighborhood construction, you’ll enjoy a noticeable drop in sound transmission compared to metal or asphalt roofing.
This can make a big difference, especially for upper-floor bedrooms or homes in busy areas. It’s a quieter, more peaceful living experience—something you didn’t know you needed until you have it.
