CertainTeed Solar Reflective Shingles Can Help You Beat the Heat This Summer

Summer is around the corner and there’s no better time to talk about energy-saving upgrades that can make a long-term financial impact on your utility bills! Reflective shingles mitigate heat from entering your house through your roof. This can help your HVAC work less hard in the times of extreme heat that are bound to come your way in Northern Virginia.

CertainTeed Solar Reflective Shingles

If your current roof is at the end of its lifespan, you have many options for roofing replacements. Considering the brutal summers Northern Virginia gets, installing solar reflective shingles and solar reflective roofing membranes can reduce your HVAC’s energy consumption and your carbon footprint.

CertainTeed’s solar reflective shingles have surfaces that reflect more infrared (IR) radiation than standard roof surfaces. On a normal hot day, infrared radiation from the sun makes a typical roof 5 to 20 degrees hotter than the ground temperature. If your roof isn’t reflecting some of the sun’s rays, you’re absorbing all its intense heat into your home.

Solar reflective shingles reduce how much IR rays your roof absorbs. This means that less heat is transferred to the attic under the roof. As a result, your home stays cooler and more comfortable in the warmer months.

Reducing temperature extremes on roofs also increases their longevity. When the surface temperature is more stable and constant, the chances for damage from wear and tear decreases.
