Cool Roofs are a type of insulation that is designed to reflect sunlight and absorb less heat than traditional roofs. This helps to reduce the amount of energy needed to cool buildings, resulting in lower energy costs. Cool Roofs are typically made of materials such as metal, tile, or asphalt, and are often coated with a reflective material such as white paint or a specialized coating. This helps to reduce the amount of heat absorbed by the roof, and can also help to reduce the amount of heat transferred into the building.
Cool Roofs are becoming increasingly popular due to their energy efficiency and cost savings. They are often used in commercial and residential buildings, and can be used in both new construction and retrofit projects. Cool Roofs are also becoming more widely used in the construction of green buildings, as they help to reduce the overall environmental impact of the building.
Some companies in the Cool Roof market include CertainTeed, Owens Corning, GAF, and Johns Manville. Show Less Read more
