cool roofs = lower energy bills
Cool roofing is the fastest growing sector of the building industry, as building owners and facility managers realize the immediate and long-term benefits of roofs that stay cool in the sun. Studies exploring the energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of cool roofs show that in warm or hot climates, substituting a cool roof for a conventional roof can:
- Reduce up to 15% of annual air-conditionaing use
- Cool interior spaces in buildings more naturally
- Reduce carbon emissions by lowering fossil fuel use

benefits
- Polyurethane Foam Roof
It is the most cost effective way to significantly reduce your energy bills while providing an extremely strong seamless watertight roof. - Solar Reflective Paint
Ceiling and wall cavity temperatures will be reduced by as much as 30 degrees. - It will reflect or block nearly 97% of the heat gain, and saves you money on your summer electric bill !
- The process is less expensive than roof replacement and it will add at least 10 years to the existing roof.
