Gerry,

Are they using those in Florida?

Is there any data regarding longevity available?

I've never seen them.

I've seen one house in Columbia that has them. The ones I saw were heavy PVC and carries a 50 year pro rated warranty. One thing about them that I found out-even a small amount of moisture, like the dew on the shaded side of the house makes them slick as snot to walk on.

Check into becoming a non profit and taking donations or you could become an educator like Gerry and make the big $$
