What is a cool roof?

We are proud to stock COOL asphalt composition shingles.  Many cities are adopting COOL shingle code requirements.  Many homeowners are choosing to go with COOL shingles for the benefits, the look, and the resale value.  As we roof more of our homes and buildings with COOL shingles or other COOL products, we can reduce the Heat Island Effect in our cities. 

There are many factors that contribute to the Heat Island Effect.  One of these being that the building materials we use are very good at insulating and holding onto heat.  Installing roofs that Reflect more of the Sun's heat and that also Emit the absorbed heat more quickly, will collectively help to work against the Heat Island Effect.
