About the Provider

Brava manufactures premium-quality synthetic roofing that combines the authentic look of Shake, Slate and Barrel roofing with unmatched performance. As a leading alternative to traditional roofing material, our composite roofing products last longer, are far more durable than traditional cedar shake, slate and Spanish barrel tiles, and are much more aesthetically and architecturally pleasing than asphalt shingles and concrete tiles.

During the Industrial Revolution, engineers looked for ways to create materials that were strong, waterproof, and long-lasting. New advances in technology led to the creation of beautiful, better-performing, longer-lasting, and sustainable materials for a wide use of applications. In this course, we compare traditional pavers with composite paver systems and how they differ in durability, lifespan, and maintenance. In addition, we discuss how composite pavers produce a smaller carbon footprint and are a more sustainable solution than traditional pavers.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Discuss the benefits of composite in-ground pavers, roof deck pavers, and resurfacing pavers and how they can help design professionals create more sustainable projects
  2. Contrast the sustainable attributes of composite materials over traditional pavers including carbon footprint, recyclability, durability, maintenance, and safety of occupants
  3. Compare the costs, installation, design options, and applications for composite pavers and concrete pavers and how they benefit owners
  4. Review case studies that illustrate the sustainable, durability, and safety attributes of composite pavers and best practices for design professionals
