“COOL” shingles are a revolutionary, newly designed roofing material that offers a host of benefits for homeowners. These shingles are engineered to reflect a greater portion of the sun’s energy back into the atmosphere instead of absorbing it, thereby reducing the amount of heat transferred into the building. This reduction in heat absorption leads to lower cooling costs and a more comfortable indoor environment, particularly during hot summer months. COOL shingles also contribute to the longevity of your roof by minimizing thermal stress, thereby extending its lifespan.
In California, these shingles are now mandatory for all new construction and roof replacements due to the implementation of Title 24. This is important to remember when shopping for new shingles for your roof. Make sure the shingles you select are COOL shingles and double check with your contractor that they are installing COOL shingles so that you can enjoy the benefits of lower cooling costs and stay in compliance with code enforcement.
COOL shingles are now available in a variety of colors and styles, ensuring that homeowners can find an option that matches their architectural preferences.
