Keep Your Massachusetts Home Warmer During The Winter & Cooler During The Summer
During the summer, temperatures inside your attic can soar. In the right conditions, your attic can easily reach temperatures as high as 140 degrees. If your attic gets exceptionally hot during the summer months, consider installing insulation in your attic in order to keep your home more comfortable.
Insulating your home’s attic can certainly reduce the amount of heat your home is exposed to, surely your shingles are still absorbing heat? Imagine if they created shingles that reflected heat away from your home. Wait a minute…they do!
Our team at O’LYN Roofing can install energy-efficient shingles that will reduce the amount of heat your shingles absorb, helping to keep your home in the cooler in the summer and reducing the need for air conditioning!
Lower Your Air Conditioning Costs with “Cool Roof” Shingles
The technology that goes into designing “Cool Roof” shingles is really quite advanced. Scientists focused on upgrading the granules on the shingles by applying coatings. They discovered that these new coats could offer the shingles both reflective properties, as well as emissiveness!
These upgraded granules are able to reflect roughly 20% of the sun’s solar energy, in comparison to typical granules that reflect roughly 3%. Higher emissivity allows shingles to shed the solar heat they absorb, rather than maintain it!
