Cool roofs are energy efficient roofs designed to help consumers make energy-efficient choices. People living in tropical areas and locations where the climate is hot and humid used to choose the tile roofs often, and the tile roofs are cool roofs. Currently, people are choosing different roofing materials that are not as energy efficient. Consumer fashion in roofing trends today are dark colored roofs and dark colors absorb heat. To offset this, the practice is bulk attic insulation. Cool roofs can entirely replace this. This roofing material is modern, lightweight, and efficient at reducing temperatures both inside and outside the house.
Advantages of a Cool Roof

• Cool roofs enhance the durability of your roof. Roof deterioration is minimized and so are roof maintenance costs.
• Studies showed that using cool roofs reduces power demand by 10{ff882d4eb6091d566c8a162c82f473740a0c818667a1dc828a28ecc778b3b6ed} during hot days. Electric bills are also reduced from 15{ff882d4eb6091d566c8a162c82f473740a0c818667a1dc828a28ecc778b3b6ed}.
Another advantage of a cool roof is UV inhibitors. UV inhibitors in a cool roof protect the other elements used in roofing the house. Cool roofs are also renewable. They can be washed using pressure and recoated when in need of maintenance and repairs.
