Cool roofing is gaining in popularity due to its ability to reduce cooling and heating energy usage.  Utility companies are also interested in cool roofing because it can help reduce the peak demand in electricity during the afternoon hours of summer months, preventing power disruptions.  And, from an environmental point of view, cool roofing can [...]

The Benefits Of Vinyl Siding
Long-lasting Performance

Vinyl Siding will not dent, peel, rot or ever need painting.
It’s virtually maintenance-free
Vinyl blocks moisture and prevents mold and other allergens
Added insulation behind the siding for heat loss
Tyveck wrap decreases heat loss from wind and keeps out moister

Design Beauty and [...]

Cool Roof Savings
Many building owners are starting to realize the benefits of energy upgrades.  The roof is an ideal place to start reducing costs.  There is a substantial payback on reflective roofs.
New roofing technology minimizes building heat gain and attacks energy waste in a critical area; interior cooling loads.  It is also one of a [...]

Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Both composition and fiberglass-base shingles are soaked in asphalt, but the fiberglass base shingles are more fire-resistant than the organic ones.  Asphalt shingles have mineral granules embedded in their surfaces to offer protection against wear and the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.  When you find these granules washing away it’s a sign that you [...]

What Makes A Roof Cool?
The most important feature of an ideal cool roof is that its surface strongly reflects sunlight.  The surface of an ideal cool roof should also efficiently cool itself by emitting thermal radiation.  A cool roof should have both high “solar reflectance” (ability to reflect sunlight, measured on a scale of 0 [...]

Increasingly known in the industry as “cool roofs” for their ability to mitigate high temperatures, light- and white-colored roof coatings consist of a polymeric binder blended with pigments and other additives to provide two main benefits: protection of roof membranes for longer roof life cycles and reflectivity of solar radiation for lower air-conditioning costs.  Reflecting [...]
