Cool Roofs for the July and August Atlanta Summer

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

For most ***?ople, July and August in Atlanta are spent finding ways to beat the heat. When the temperatures regularly ****?mb towards 100 degrees, city-wide power outages aren’t uncommon, ***? all the air conditioner units work overtime to cool homes.

Making your home ***? energy efficient ***? possible can help you retain some of that hard-earned cool air. Most homeowners know this, and have checked their windows and doors to ***?e if cool air is escaping through ******?s or ****?r insulation. It’s ***?irly common for ***?ople to know that if they block the sun’s strong daytime rays with ***?rtains or blinds, their interior temperature will stay a bit cooler. Few, however, consider their roofs when thinking about energy efficiency.

An experienced roofing company can tell you, the roofing industry has been moving ***?ll steam ahead for the past forty or so years, ***? they try to find ways to make roofing materials that will better ***?rve ***?ople’s needs. One of the ways they’ve achieved ****?cess is with their more energy efficient roofs, called cool roofs. Most common across the Southern and Western United States, these cool roofs actually do help in keeping a home’s temperature consistently cooler than homes with regular roofs.

What are the Major Benefits of a Cool Roof?

If you’re building a home, or considering reroofing your ***?rrent home, a cool roof is definitely an upgrade worth considering. Composed of certain materials that cause the sun’s light and heat to be reflected instead of absorbed, the temperature on a cool roof is often 50-60 degrees cooler than a regular roof. This is a significant difference, and one that will not only improve the comfort of ***?ople living in the house, ****? will also provide other benefits. The life of the roof itself is often extended, meaning less heat and weather related repairs, ***? well ***? a few extra years before it becomes necessary to re-roof.

For many homeowners, the best reason to have their roofers install a cool roof is a monetary one. Throughout their life cycle, cool roofs will continue to save the homeowners money. Knowledgeable Atlanta roofers fewer maintenance issues, a longer life, and reduced cooling bills can add up to significant savings.

How are Cool Roofs Constructed?

There are ***?veral ways that a cool roof differs from a regular roof in its construction. First, the materials that make up the roof are often different. The most common type of roofing material is ***?phalt ****?ngles, which is not the best option for a cool roof. Roofing contractors have two major considerations when installing a cool roof: reflectivity and emissivity.

- Reflectivity is best established by using materials that are light colored or white, since those colors allow the sun’s hot rays to bounce off of them.

- Emissivity, the ability of a material to emit infrared energy rather than absorb it, is usually best accomplished using non-metal materials. Unfortunately not all roofers are properly educated in how to ventilate property.

In cities with ***? much summer heat ***? Atlanta, cool roofs are certainly worth considering, and could pay off for years to come.
