Benefits of Cool Roofs


Cool roof technologies
Have you ever gone outside on a sunny day wearing dark clothing? If you have, you know how hot it can get. The dark-colored clothing is absorbing all the sunlight, making you hotter. That’s what it’s like when you don’t use a cool roof.

Cool roofs are liquid applied roofs or roof coatings that have been designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof. There are benefits to installing a cool roof, and nearly any type of building can benefit from them. Take a look at some of the benefits.

Lower Energy Bill
As you can imagine standard dark roofs absorb much more heat than a cool roof. Did you know that dark roofs can reach temperatures up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit or more in the summer sun? That’s almost 50 degrees hotter than the temperature of a cool roof. Installing cool roofs can help lower energy costs by reducing air conditioning needs in that heat.

Improve Indoor Air Comfort
If you’ve ever stepped out into your garage or sat under your covered patio on a hot sunny day and it felt like you were in a sauna, you might want to think about cool roofs. Installing cool roofs will also improve the indoor air comfort of spaces that do not have air condition. As stated above, the cool roofs can keep roof surfaces much cooler than your standard roof, and it’s no different on the roof of your garage or patio. They will help you stay comfortable no matter where you go, with or without air conditioning.

Extend Roof Service Life
Did you know that increased roof temperatures can affect the life expectancy of your roof? The UV rays from the sun send a thermal shock to the roof materials causing them to expand and contract. The constant expanding and contracting take a toll on your roof, causing a need for repairs or replacements much sooner than wanted.

Some other benefits include:
●       Help reduce the urban heat island
●       Fire-resistance
●       Labor Efficiency
●       Durable

The Future of Roofing: What Does it Look Like?

Roofs have come a long way from the times our ancestors used clay or thatched roofing. Over the years, people have created stronger and better roofing for home and commercial use. A roof is not only used as a defense against unwanted intrusion and weather, but it’s also important in enhancing aesthetic appeal and heat efficiency. Here are some of the innovative roofing technologies you may soon see on a building near you. Solar Panel Roofing Solar panel roofing uses solar shingles or photovoltaic shingles . These shingles look like your conventional roofing material such as a slate. In addition to performing the roofing function, they also produce electricity. This electricity generating solution is called building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). A silicon solar cell roofing can reach as much as 100 watts DC per shingle! Metal Roofing A metal roofing system is made of metal tiles or pieces made from copper, zinc, or steel alloys. This roofing material is known for its impermeability,...
