TEGOLA CANADESE ACTI ROOF

ACTI ROOF shingles from Tegola Canadese have special photocatalytic granules covered with Titanium Dioxide (TiO2): this substance is activated by the UV radiation of the sun and triggers a process of oxidization that transforms pollutants (NO, NOX , CO etc.‎), which come into contact with the surface of the roof, into salts (nitrates and carbonates) which are then washed off the roof by rain water.‎ These salts are non-toxic and are the same that we find in all water bottles on the market, with average concentrations much lower than the limits imposed by law for drinking water.‎ The photocatalytic ACTI ROOF shingles are a perfect solution for roofs as, in addition to their waterproofing and aesthetical characteristics, they provide the following additional benefits: Anti-pollution: they transform pollutants into non-toxic salts; Self-cleaning: they hinder the persistence of dirty substances on the roof thanks to the presence of Titanium Dioxide on the surface of granules; Antibacterial: they have antifungal properties and reduce the presence of bacteria and algae that may be present on the roofs in some particular cases.‎ The granules of the ACTI ROOF shingles are tested according to UNI 11247.‎
