Highly Reflective Roofing Membrane

Solar reflective shingles and solar reflective roofing membranes can be an important component in a building system designed to reduce overall building energy consumption and the impact the home or building has on the environment.

Highly reflective roofing membrane. Featuring gaf proprietary color blends and an enhanced shadow effect timberline hdz rs shingles offer a genuine wood shake look that s sure to please. High temperatures and large variations. Seasonally or daily at the roofing level are detrimental to the. With a lower temperature increase of the cooler roof is a reduced heat transferred to the insides of the building.

A reflective roof membrane has the capability to reflect the sun s uv and infrared rays away from the building allowing the roof temperature to increase only by 12 o f which is much lower than the 78 o f increase from the traditional black roof.
