At Enviroshake, we take pride in limiting our environmental footprint at every step. Manufactured from 95% reprocessed post-industrial polymers, elastomers, and fibers, Enviroshake is a fully sustainable product. That’s why it was the right choice for the Summers eco-home, in Lexington, Massachusetts.
Homeowners Joshua and Rachel Summers decided to turn their property into an at-home oasis during the pandemic to limit their need for travel and create a unique space that was extremely eco-conscious. Their project goals included net-zero energy use, green materials, and eco + food landscaping.
Geothermal heating and cooling, hyper-insulation, electric appliances and an induction stove, and solar panels and Powerwalls are a few of the key features of the energy-efficient home.
Rainwater and greywater harvesting allows the homeowners to capture roughly 80,000 gallons of water to irrigate their productive green landscape and garden, which supports the local ecosystem and produces food. The water runoff from an Enviroshake roof is non-toxic and completely potable. It even meets World Health Organization drinking water standards!
Throughout the project, the homeowners sourced as many eco-friendly materials as possible. From their recycled glass countertops to the exterior cladding made from recycled paper, and of course, the Enviroslate roof.
The Summers chose the Charcoal Grey Enviroslate material along with matching Charcoal Grey Alpine SnowGuards. The installation was completed by Enviroshake Factory Trained Installers, BosCorp Design & Build, Inc.
