What Makes a Cool Roof a Cool Roof?

Cool Roofs don’t “heat up” like other types of roofs. That’s because Cool Roofs have two properties non-rated roofs do not: they reflect the sun better and dissipate heat more efficiently.
 
 
 
  1. High Solar Reflectance: The ability to reflect solar energy rather than convert that energy to heat. Authentic clay US Tile Cool Roof tiles reflect up to 53% of the sun’s solar energy. By comparison, asphalt shingles reflect less than 10% of the sun’s energy.

  2. High Thermal Emittance: Cool Roofs have the ability to give off heat rather than absorb and hold it. US Tile Cool Roof tile products perform better than most products on the market today and have a thermal emittance of up to 86%.

Additional Benefits of a US Tile Clay Roof versus other Non-Clay Products

  1. Heat Flux: US Tile Cool Roof products deliver 36% less ceiling heat fluctuation than concrete tile.
    Minimizing dramatic swings in ceiling temperatures saves energy and reduces strain placed on your home cooling systems, especially during expensive peak periods.

  2. Concrete Holds Heat: US Tile Cool Roof products absorb less heat and release the heat faster than asphalt shingles and concrete tile for greater energy efficiency.
