How Cool Roofs Can Help With the Heat Island Effect and More

When talking about your family’s comfort and protection, the word ‘compromise’ is out of the question. When you get roof repairs done a little too often, you should start thinking about getting new roofing for your home.  However, you should not rush into buying the first roofing product you see. You are already shelling out for an entire roofing system, so you might as well choose high-quality cool roofs like the Landmark Solaris® Platinum, the Landmark Solaris Gold, and the Presidential Solaris® shingles from CertainTeed®.

Why Choose Cool Roofs?

To get why cool roofs are an excellent choice for your roofing system, you must first know what cool roofs are. To put it simply, cool roofs have the ability to reflect both ultraviolet (UV) and infrared solar wavelengths, which means heat transfer to your home is reduced. Compared to your typical roofing products, cool roofs also are better at radiating or emitting absorbed solar energy.

Cool Roof – Your Solution to the Heat Island Effect

Living in urban areas does come with perks, but the heat island effect is not one of them. It is a good thing that there are things you can do to address this problem, and that includes choosing cool roofs.

When cool roofs reflect heat and sunlight from your home, your roof temperature drops, and your home stays cooler. You can save on your energy bills because you won’t have to use air conditioning as much as you do when you have regular roofing products installed.

Benefits of Having Cool Roofs

There are a number of reasons homeowners turn to contractors who offer cool roof installation as one of their residential roofing services. Cool roofing comes with incredible benefits that roofers rave about and homeowners enjoy.
