Sustainable Roofing Solutions: Less Waste, More Value
Construction and demolition activities generate approximately 40% of EU waste – a huge amount that burdens our environment every day. At the same time, approximately 50% of materials extracted in Europe ends up in the construction sector, and buildings account for as much as 60% of global energy consumption.

Benefits of the Lava 20 System
1. Less Construction Waste
No need to demolish the old roof. Lava 20 can be installed directly over most existing roofs, making it a waste-minimizing solution. This avoids demolition work, material disposal, and landfill burden – saving time, money, and the environment.
- No Demolition, No Disposal: No surplus bitumen or other construction waste is generated.
- Less Landfill Waste: Reducing demolition waste helps decrease landfill dependency across the entire construction industry.
2. Less Material Consumption
Lava 20 lasts 25 years – and after that, it can be recoated. A traditional bitumen roof, on the other hand, may require complete replacement 2–4 times during the same period.
- Less Need for New Materials: No need for continuous renewal, or for raw material extraction or transportation as frequently.
- Comprehensive Resource Savings: A long lifespan significantly reduces energy, labor, and material costs.
- An environmentally friendly choice throughout the building's lifecycle.
3. Energy Savings with Cooler Roofs
Lava 20's light grey, reflective coating helps keep the building cooler in summer. This means less air conditioning, lower operating costs, and a smaller carbon footprint.
- Reflective Surface: Reduces heat absorption into the roof.
- Cooler Interiors: Especially in hot summers, without mechanical cooling.
- CRRC Approval: Lava 20 is a roofing material approved by the Cool Roof Rating Council, meeting the highest solar reflectance standards.
4. Easy and Durable Renewal
Lava 20 supports circular economy principles. When its service life approaches its end, there's no need to demolish the entire roof – a new coating is sufficient. This reduces future costs, material waste, and environmental impact.
- Renew, don't rebuild from scratch: One coating adds up to 25 years of service life.
- Minimal disruption: No demolition work, no construction dust, no building downtime.
5. Fewer Repair Needs
Traditional bitumen roofs are prone to cracking, leaks, and temperature-induced stresses. Lava 20 offers a solution to this.
- Seamless and flexible surface: An intact surface without seams minimizes water penetration into structures.
- Weather-resistant: Designed to withstand temperature fluctuations, wind, rain, and UV radiation.
- Easy to repair: Possible damage can be repaired quickly without extensive demolition.
