Metal reflects radiant heat from the sun, minimizing midday heat gain. This means you save energy needed for air conditioning during the day. Though the material itself is low in insulation R-value, many systems utilize a dead-air space between the metal and roof deck to increase energy efficiency.
• Reduces attic temperatures by up to 34%
• Integral “dead” airspace blocks heat transfer by conduction
• Lower cooling load can extend air conditioner life
• Integrates with most photovoltaic solar collection systems
• Low weight allows installation over most existing roofs
• Eliminates the need for landfill disposal of old roofing
• Long-life sustainability
• Low weight roofing can extend a building’s life
• 100% recyclable
• Virtually zero out-gassing
