What Makes Cool Roofs… Cool?

Crosby Roofing is a leading roofing contractor Fort Worth for the installation of “cool roofs” on commercial and institutional buildings. A cool roof is – literally – cooler than traditional roofs and can significantly reduce air conditioning costs by reflecting the majority of the solar energy that hits the roof.

A cool roof is actually an elastomeric coating that reflects 70% to 90% of the sun’s energy when newly installed. In order to comply with Energy Star® and Cool Roof Rating Council® standards, the minimum reflectivity needs to be at least 70%.

In comparison, conventional Ft. Worth roofing materials have reflectivity of just 5% to 25%, meaning they absorb 75% to 95% of the sun’s energy. The absorbed energy is transferred to the building.

A cool roof installed by Crosby Roofing delivers outstanding color stability, durability, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and flexibility while also providing outstanding solar heat deflection and energy efficiency. Both visible and ultraviolet waves are deflected more efficiently. This reduces energy costs and extends the life of the roof by slowing down the aging process of the underlying roof materials.

A cool roof from Crosby Roofing is a great choice for your building.
