Solar Reflective Roofing Materials

Save energy and look great at the same time.

Solar reflective roofing materials.

Energy star certified roof products reflect more of the sun s rays. The solar reflectance measurement ranges between 0 0 and 1 0 with 1 0 representing 100 reflectance with no absorption. How they can be made cool. Shingle roofs consist of overlapping panels made from a variety of materials such as fiberglass asphalt wood polymers or metals.

Buy cool asphalt shingles which use specially coated granules that provide better solar reflectance. Presidential shake solaris in the color autumn blend can reflect up to 18 percent of the sun s energy. Energy star certified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings and can reduce peak cooling demand by 10 15 percent. The landmark solaris platinum solar reflective shingles represent an industry breakthrough in technology achieving a level of 40 solar reflectivity by far the highest level of reflectivity in the asphalt shingle industry.

Solar has never been simpler gaf energy offers low profile elegant solar that installs like a skylight ensuring a beautiful water tight roof that produces clean energy. The larger these two values are the cooler the roof will remain in the sun. Darker colors like dark brown have an average solar reflectance of 5 9 while white granules have a solar reflectance of 31 3. Wide arrange of colors.

New technology helps to close the gap between aesthetics and solar reflectance. Many homeowners elect a balance between solar reflectance and aesthetics. Premier radiance is available in several vibrant colors so you don t need to compromise on style. The cool roof collection has a variety of deep colors that are unexpected of solar reflective shingles which tend to be lighter in color.

Our premier radiance shingles provide more than just a roof over your head. The more waves that are bounced back into the atmosphere the higher the solar reflectance of the asphalt roofing shingle. This can lower roof surface temperature by up to 50f decreasing the amount of heat transferred into a building. Infused with solar reflective granules this shingle reflects heat producing ultraviolet rays from the sun back into the atmosphere which may reduce heat transfer into your home.

Asphalt shingles with higher solar reflectance values can achieve energy star certification. Extend the life of the roof thanks to solar reflecting granules that reduce shingle temperature and subsequently slow asphalt aging. It has never been simpler to turn your roof into an asset that works for you.
