Kool Roof

A kool roof is a roofing system that delivers higher solar reflectance ( the ability to reflect the visible, infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun, reducing heat transfer to the building) and higher thermail emittance (the ability to radiate absorbed, or non-reflected solar energy) than standard designed roof products. 

A kool roof is one that has been designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof. Kool roof can be made of a highly reflective type of paint, s sheet covering, or highly reflective tiles or shingles. Nearly any type of building can benefit from a kool roof, but consider the climate and other factors before deciding to install one.

The home is one of the greatest investment one will make during their lifetime. The roof is one of the largest visible part of the house and is fundamental in providing you the shelter and comfort you and your loved ones needs. The selection and combination of roofing materials will reward you by adding not only the aura of beauty to the home but also its value and your living harmony. Some roofing materials may not be practical or cannot be added on at a later stage, therefore, a wise decision may be required prior to the installation of the kool roof.
