Cool Effect:
Air gap, coatings
prove coolest in
hot sun among
major roof types
Stone-coated steel
reduced heat flowing into a home through the ceiling up to 70 percent compared with asphalt shingle roofing, according to a study published last year for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building Technology Program. The installed panels allow air to flow underneath and vent naturally, while the top surface reflects sun-induced heat. In addition, manufacturers such as Metro Roof Products makes its panels available in highly reflective colors that qualify for the federal Energy Star designation. A study by the Florida Power & Light Company in 2001 found similar cooling properties among certain stone-coated steel roof systems.
