WHAT IS A COOL ROOF TILE ??
Cool roof tiles are roofing materials designed to reflect more
sunlight and absorb less heat compared to conventional
roofing materials. These tiles are typically made from
reflective coatings or light-colored materials such as white,
light gray, or even special ceramics. Common materials used
for cool roofs include concrete, clay, and some synthetic
options. What makes cool roof tiles different is their high
Solar Reflectance Index (SRI), which is typically above 0.65,
meaning they reflect a large portion of the sun's rays, as
opposed to absorbing heat like traditional dark-colored roofs.
This reflective property helps to keep buildings cooler by
reducing the amount of heat transferred into the building.

BENEFITS OF THE TILES
Cool roof tiles provide several significant benefits. They
contribute to energy savings by reflecting heat away from
buildings, lowering cooling costs, especially in hot climates.
By keeping the roof and interior cooler, the need for air
conditioning is reduced, creating a more comfortable
environment. Cool roofs also mitigate the urban heat island
effect, where cities experience higher temperatures due to
heat-absorbing surfaces. Widespread use of cool roofs can
lower surrounding temperatures. Additionally, cool roof tiles
reduce energy consumption, cutting greenhouse gas
emissions, and increase roof durability by minimizing thermal
stress, extending the roof's lifespan.
