Cool Metal Roofing: Energy Efficiency From The Top Down
Hello Consumers,
As summer heats up, homeowners across the country just like you are investing in new, more energy-efficient and sustainable ways to cool their homes.
One of the most popular energy-saving (and money-saving) home cooling upgrades includes cool metal roofing, a special Energy Star-approved class of metal roofing valued for its ability to significantly reduce home cooling and heating loads by better-controlling the passage of solar radiation into your home.
Available in any number of colors, styles, and made from a mininum 25% recycled content, cool metal roofing provides the same great look and feel as conventional metal roofing - not to mention the same long life and durability. The difference is that cool metal roofing products feature special finishes, coatings, and/or organic pigments that reflect solar radiation and, in some cases, even re-emit a degree of absorbed solar radiation, benefiting your home air-conditioning efforts from the top down.
This energy-efficient product even saves straight out of the box! Since cool metal roofing works so well, it's been named by the Energy Star and the US government as eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $500 of the total cost of installation on residential structures under the 2006 Federal Energy Tax Incentive!
Take a look at the following links for more information on how cool metal roofing can cover your energy-saving initiatives from the top down:
The Metal Roofing Alliance is a consortium of metal roofing manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and contractors with the main goal of educating consumers about the many benefits of metal roofing.
