The EternaTile roof system is the ultimate achievement in the evolution of roofing. Combining an extreme life cycle, a highly energy efficient core, state of the art solar cells, and a range of style options, the EternaTile roof is the only choice when beauty is as important as energy savings.

EternaTile is the only closed cell, poly foam molded, interlaced roofing system on the planet. We are patent pending in 139 countries and made in the USA. EternaTile was designed to withstand wind speeds of over 260 mph while being impervious to cracking, chipping, or pealing from inclement weather or age. 

EternaTile can be installed on any existing roof with a 3 on 12 inch or steeper pitch without engineer approval due to its’ extremely light weight and EZ installation. Our core product is designed to have a lifetime warranty, and “EternaG Solar”, with replaceable solar modules, makes the entire product line a catalyst in the building sector.
