Reflective Roofing Granules

1 a cool roof minimizes the solar heat gain of a building by reflecting incoming sun rays and re emitting the absorbed energy.

Reflective roofing granules. Use reflective mineral granules or a factory applied coating rather than a dark coating on a mineral surfaced sheet apply a cool coating directly on top of a dark asphaltic emulsion coating. Cool roofing shingles are specially designed with solar reflecting granules granules that reflect the sun s rays to help decrease the amount of heat transferred into a home. Landmark solaris is a steep slope solar reflective asphalt roofing shingle which contains advanced colored granules that reflect the suns rays and can reduce a roofs temperature by as much as 20 in the summer. Our highly reflective shingles can help to reduce temperatures in your attic so your home will stay cooler in the summer to help save on air conditioning costs.

Modified bitumen sheet membranes have one or more layers of plastic or rubber material with reinforcing fabrics and are surfaced with mineral granules or a smooth finish. 3m highly reflective granules are a drop in granule replacement to manufacture cap sheets that meet title 24 and other reflectivity codes. Building upon the individual success of soprema and 3m s reflective roofing products the new soprema sg granules provide the proven protection of multi ply sbs modified bitumen roof membrane systems. The perfect example of 3m science cool granules are used to create solar reflective shingles that are energy efficient and economically friendly.

Reflectivity requirements title 24 fbc iecc lighter weight for easier handling. Extend the life of the roof thanks to solar reflecting granules that reduce shingle temperature and subsequently slow asphalt aging. 3m highly reflective granules a sustainable granule solution to use on cap sheets as a drop in replacement to meet reflective codes for commercial low slope roofs. When applied to a roofing substrate 54 the highly reflective kaolin particles 20 62 produce a roofing system having a solar reflectance greater than or equal to 70.

A cool roofing system. Solar reflective shingles are designed specifically to reduce the absorption of the suns infrared radiation by reflecting ir rays off the surface of the roof thus not allowing the heat to be transferred to the interior of the structure i e. The attic under the roof. The cool roof collection has a variety of deep colors that are unexpected of solar reflective shingles which tend to be lighter in color.

Built on 3m s history of roofing innovations these highly reflective granules can provide a solution for commercial building manufacturers that is environmentally friendly for a greener environment.
