During the roofing contractors process, our team will lay a protective underlayment (either an ice and water shield/ice guard membrane or tar paper to increase your roofing felt’s fire rating) over all areas of the roof, including the eaves and valleys. This prevents ice dams and helps reduce water leaks. Once the underlayment has been installed, our roofers will install your choice of roof coverings. Our roofers will also install drip edge in the eaves of your home or office building for extra protection from moisture and to prevent shingle blow-off.
The Benefits of Choosing Cool Roof Solutions for Your New Roof
There are a variety of cool roofing options, including shingles, coatings, metal, stone/rock, and vegetated roofs. Each type of cool roof provides energy efficiency, durability, and environmental benefits.
A cool roof reflects sunlight and absorbs less heat, which can lower a building’s interior temperature, decrease air conditioning energy usage, and lower utility bills. It can also help small businesses meet sustainability goals and qualify for government incentives. Cool roofs can also help mitigate the urban heat island effect, which causes cities to have higher temperatures than surrounding areas.
A high SRI rating indicates that a roofing material has a low solar reflectance and a high emissivity index (EI). This is because it is made of materials that reflect more heat instead of absorbing it. A cool roof can be used on commercial or industrial buildings of any size and structure, including new construction or renovation. It is recommended to consult with a roofing professional before selecting a cool roof material.
