Concise Guide of Energy Efficient Roofing Material

1. C O N C I S E G U I D E O F E N E R G Y E F F I C I E N T R O O F I N G M A T E R I A L S Energy Efficient Roofing Material The wrong type of roofing material turns your home’s roof into an extreme heat blanket. The heat radiates into your home which makes the air conditioning run longer and thus contributes to our collective $40 billion per year in cooling expenses. Energy-efficient roofing products change the entire equation. Instead of absorbing heat these materials reflect it back into the sky, sometimes lowering your roof’s temperature by up to 50F. The popular materials commonly used include: Shake Shingles Slate Roofing Metal Roofing Asphalt Shingles Tile Roofing Shake Shingles Shake shingles are a wooden roofing material used to create rustic looking roofs. Their tapered design helps them withstand strong winds and storms with little damage. Asphalt Shingles Asphalt shingles are the “normal” roofing materials in many parts of the country. They hold up well against humidity but don’t “breathe” as well as shake shingles. Metal Roofing Metal roofing is the premier option among energy- efficient roofing materials. The material is relatively cheap, easy to install, durable, and excellent at reflecting U/V rays. Tile Roofing Tile roofing material is generally made from slate, clay, or concrete; all of which don’t absorb much sunlight. They do absorb more light than metal roofs but offer more durability.
