energy efficient Roof System

energy efficient Roof System

According to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, an independent

testing agency, a family in a typical single family house

could save up to 22% per year on heating and cooling costs

compared to the standard asphalt shingle roof.1 A single family

house with a Boral Energy Efficient Roof System could save

an average of $15 to $20 per month immediately compared

to a standard asphalt shingle roof and as energy rates rise

year over year, your savings could increase as well and could

amount up to $20,000 over 30 years.2

Tile roofs are highly insulating and prevent much of the sun’s

heat from penetrating the building. Boral offers tiles in a wide

range of profiles in highly reflective colors and certain tiles

meet Energy Star and U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED®

(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating.

In addition to tile’s thermal mass, the air space between the

tile and the roof deck provides a layer of insulation. Boral

Roof Tiles go a step further by naturally ventilating this air

space. Nearly all the heat that penetrates through the tiles

is vented through the ridge. This keeps the building cooler,

reducing your energy bills every year with no electrical or

mechanical parts. Letting your tile roof system breathe will

also make it last longer than traditional roof construction.

How does it work?

Why should you choose Boral Energy Efficient Roof system?highly energy efficient and long lasting.

How much could you save?

The most common reason for reroofing is deterioration of

the roof system beneath the tiles when tiles or flashings

are damaged or installed incorrectly.

Boral roof systems allow moisture that may get under the

tiles or flashings to flow down and off the roof deck and

quickly dry out, keeping the roof system in good condition

to last longer.

2 Results based on a 22 square roof in Southern California with no additional energy efficient upgrades during an average annual weather pattern, annual inflation rate of 3%, and annual energy cost increase of 3.5%. Savings may vary based on location, weather and other factors. Savings estimates are based on comparison to similar size asphalt shingle roof.
