COOL ROOF SYSTEM

There’s More to a Cool Roof Than Reflectivity

There are many types of roofs to choose from, so how do you decide which is best for you? Are you concerned about energy costs to cool the building? How long before the roof needs replacement or maintenance, and what will the cost be? If you find yourself asking these questions, then an energy-efficient Westlake Royal™ Cool Roof System may be the right choice for you.

A typical single family house with an energy-efficient Westlake Royal Cool Roof System could save up to 22% per year on heating and cooling costs compared to the standard composition asphalt shingle roof.¹

This house 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

Choosing the Best Roof for Your Home

Westlake Royal Roofing Solutions offers a range of cool roof tiles in various profiles to reflect the sun’s heat. Also, the air space between the tiles and the roof deck provides ventilation between materials. This creates an energy-saving system that cools a building during hot summer days and provides better protection against leaks. A house with an energy-efficient Westlake Royal™ Cool Roof System provides a comfortable living climate, savings on energy costs, and can last longer than traditional roof construction.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

As the sun heats the roof, roof tiles and air beneath the tiles warm up. Elevated or vented battens allow the warm air to rise to the peak of the roof and escape outside through the ridge vent, which can also be used to vent the attic. Vented Eave Risers at the bottom of the roof draw cool air into the roof system, beneath the tiles. No electrical or mechanical parts are needed, providing easy maintenance and reliability.

WHAT PRODUCTS CAN YOU INCORPORATE INTO THIS SYSTEM?

The Westlake Royal™ Cool Roof System can be used with any slate, clay steel, or concrete tiles with various profiles from slate to shake to ‘S’ tile and more. Letting your roof system breathe will help the materials stay dry to last longer.
