When removed, the homeowner will have to prepare for the sheathing to handle the composite shingles, since wood shakes and shingles are installed differently. There are new insulation products being developed which hold great promise. I am looking into Greensulate, a product that uses the mycelia of mushrooms that can be better when being disposed of, and a new development using crystals, which is only practical for space missions at this time. Greensulate looks as if it can meet fiberglass on standards of performance, but I like the fact that it is biodegradable once it is waste material. This product would then be good to combine with radiant barriers for an efficient insulation system. They are easy to take off.

Also, isn't there product life superior to any fiberglass product on the market? Thanks. Frank:
