<DIV><BR></DIV>Gennaro,<BR><BR>Add "eco material" to that description and it
becomes an old quest of mine. Are you talking about something to sit directly
on the "real" roof? About the best I could come up with when I last tackled
the question was lightweight concrete roof pavers -- not all that eco though
maybe there are some made with flyash.<BR><BR>In terms of wood, NYC used to
accept Ipe, but I heard a rumor they stopped when the fire rating claims
didn't prove out. And, of course, there was the rainforest sourcing
issue.<BR><BR>I've looked for fire-rated recycled plastic lumber from time to
time, but have not yet found any. (Tim V-K: any updates you've heard
of?)<BR><BR>There is a group called Brooklyn Bridge Forest (<A
href="http://www.brooklynbridgeforest.com/" eudora="autourl">
http://www.brooklynbridgeforest.com/</A>) that is trying to set up a
sustainable source for greenheart for maintaining the Brooklyn Bridge. I'm not
sure what kind of fire rating greenheart does or doesn't have. (According to
one site I just googled, it carries a "high/medium"
rating.)<BR><BR>David<BR>David Bergman RA LEED AP<BR><FONT
