Met-Tile, Inc., whose “cool roof” system combines the popular look of tile with Energy Star performance, is featured on Episode #5 of Renovation Nation, a new television series on the Planet Green network. The episode is expected to debut TOMORROW, June 10, and will air multiple times.

The segment, which centers on a visit to the Met-Tile factory in Ontario, Calif., includes a plant tour with company president Terry Holman and a discussion of what makes Met-Tile green. Renovation Nation producers selected Met-Tile for coverage because of the many green attributes of its roofing product. In addition to earning an Energy Star for its solar reflectivity, Met-Tile is made of recyclable steel, it can be repainted instead of replaced after a number of years, and its light weight can translate into reduced substructure requirements during construction and renovation, saving on resources.

In a series of hour-long episodes, Renovation Nation addresses the many questions homeowners have about “going green." Hosted by Emmy Award-winning host Steve Thomas (of This Old House), the producers note that “each daily episode of Renovation Nation invites serious conservationists and simply curious viewers alike to watch and explore the exploding new movement of environmentally-friendly focused home refurbishing and construction”.

Planet Green, a new network launched by the Discovery Channel, has been billed as “the first and only 24-hour eco-lifestyle television network…. Launching in June 2008, on-air content will reach 50 million homes with more than 250 hours of original green lifestyle programming.” Met-Tile’s Holman comments: “Met-Tile is very proud to be part of this exciting and timely new television project.”

Viewers are advised to check their TV listings to confirm local air dates, times and channels.
