Lowers Electricity Bill: PG&E experts say that on average, a home will reduce a reduction of 10% to 20% in air conditioning related energy consumption.

Lowers Energy Cost During Peak Moments: Their are certain times during the summer where energy cost peak (time-of-metering). These roofs will help you save on energy costs during these crucial periods.

Cool Roof Rebates: PG&E and DWP rebate programs could possibly save you as much as $.20 per square foot installation.

A Longer-Lasting Roof: Heat stress can cause premature failure on your roof. To prevent this from happening you must protect your roofs underlayment. Not only will your roof be stronger but it will last longer.

Interestingly enough, cool roofs don’t heat up like other typical roofs. The reason being is that it has two properties that non-rated roofs will never have: they reflect the light better and are able to dissipate more evenly.

High Solar Reflection: Your typical asphalt shingle roof will reflect less than 10% of the suns rays. Authentic rated clay roof tiles are much more efficient because they are able to reflect up to 53% of the sun’s solar energy.

High Thermal Emittance: Cool roofs are better at giving off heat rather than absorbing it and holding on to it. Cool roof products will perform better than most of the products found in the market today and have a thermal emittance of up to 86%.

Heat Flux: Did you know that cool roof products are able to deliver 36% less ceiling heat fluctuation that concrete tile? Anytime that you are able to minimize ceiling heat temperatures will save you energy and reduce strains placed on home cooling systems.

Concrete Holds Heat: These cool roofing products are able to absorb less heat and release the heat faster than asphalt shingles or concrete tiles.
