Many people are finding new ways to go green, whether with transportation, food, energy use, or other products. But did you know your roofing choice has a lot to do with how much energy you’re using? With so many roofing options at hand these days, it isn’t tricky to conserve energy and keep your electric bill down. You can go green with your roof as well.
If you’re seeking a greener roof, here are some options our team at Bond Roofing suggests:
Single-Ply Membrane
Single-ply roofs are flexible membranes (rubber or thermoplastic) that are applied in a single layer on a roof. While single-ply roofs come in black, grays and tans, the popular choice these days is white. White membranes reflect the sun’s harsh rays instead of absorbing them so cooling costs for your building are reduced.
Tile
Terracotta tile roofs are a great green option due to their composition, recyclability, and longevity. The curved shapes of some tiles improve ventilation and the thickness and mass of tiles provide an additional layer of protection from the heat. Tiles come in a variety of colors, with the lighter colors providing improved solar reflectance.
Metal
Metal is one of the most energy-efficient roofing materials on the market today. Unpainted metal will reflect more solar radiation than an asphalt roof. Pre-finished metal roofs reflect even more and highly-reflective “cool-metal roofs” can reduce energy costs by as much as 40%. The standing-seam metal roofing we install here at Bond Roofing features colors that are all Energy Star compliant.
