Keep Your Cool

Cool Your Home, Cool Your Community, Cool Our Planet

Cool roofs and cool walls can help many building owners save money while protecting the environment. If you are planning a new building or replacing or restoring an existing roof, cool roofs should be considered as an energy efficiency option. Cool roof products exist for virtually every kind of roof. 

Just as wearing light-colored clothing can help keep a person cool on a sunny day, cool roofs and exterior help to maintain lower building temperatures. Traditional dark roofs and walls can reach temperatures of 150ºF (66ºC) or more in the summer sun. Cool surfaces under the same conditions could stay more than 50°F (28ºC) cooler.
