The KOOL™ Roofing Metal Solution Cool Energy Efficient Colours

Tests prove that on a 90-degree day, a white roof will only have a temperature of 110 degrees F at its surface, compared to 190 degrees F for a black roof. Despite the energy savings of white roofs, however, builders and architects desire a wider range of colour options. The solution: COLOURCOIL® high performance pre-painted steel in KOOL™ energy efficient colours, which offer high heat reflectivity without sacrificing colour choices.

The Benefits of Colourcoil KOOL Roofing Metals

• Heat is reflected away from buildings.
• Lower environmental temperatures help reduce smog levels.
• Cooler interior spaces help save the cost of energy used for cooling.
• The life expectancy of the roof itself increases due to less expansion and contraction.
• In some countries, monetary incentives such as tax credits are increasingly being offered for switching
• to reflective roofing products.
• All the advantages of greater reflectivity are available without sacrificing colour choices.
• Tests have proven that coated metal is superior to many other materials (e.g. asphalt shingles) in initial and aged irradiative properties.
