COOL RATED SHINGLES
In today’s energy-conscious society better shingles and more so energy star rated shingles are becoming more popular. In Louisville roofing, we have become much more proactive helping clients find the right energy star rated shingle for their new roof project.
LOUISVILLE ROOFING: WHAT MAKES AN E RATED SHINGLE
In the late 1990’s energy efficiency was foremost on everyone’s mind and certainly in a progressive city like Louisville and Shelbyville. Consumers needed a way to know they were getting an energy-efficient product without just taking the word of a corporation. In 1998 the Cool Roof Rating Council was formed to a credible and accurate way to evaluate and label solar reflective and emittance of roofing products. Another main function of the Cool Roof Rating Council is to disseminate the information gathered in rating roofing products for radiative properties to all interested parties.
ENERGY RATED ROOFING PRODUCTS
Many consumers have heard of the E-rated metal roof but have little knowledge of E-rated shingles. All major manufacturers of roofing shingles now make energy star rated shingles. The CertainTeed Corporation has a line of E-rated shingles.
ASPHALT SHINGLES
Roofing Services with asphalt shingles by far and away are the number one roof covering over the steep-sloped roofs of the Louisville and Shelbyville areas of Kentucky. Developed over a century ago, asphalt shingles have proven to be one of the most cost-effective solutions for commercial and residential applications.
Organic shingles made with a base of wood fiber and asphalt have given way to fiberglass-reinforced shingles which dominate the market today and have made roofing services much more flexible. These shingles offer the homeowner many choices of colors and styles, as well as the length of warranty for the right mix of durability, appearance, and affordability.
Used in many steep-slope commercial roofing applications, asphalt shingles are available in a tremendous range of colors and styles. Designers, builders, and owners have literally hundreds of asphalt shingle products to choose from. Asphalt shingles roofing services are available in a basic “three-tab” design; the middle-range “dimensional” or “laminated” shingle (most popular option in new home construction); and the “top-of-the-line” heavyweight shingles.
Noted for their low cost and ease of application, asphalt shingles continue to be popular due to their great look. No matter the architectural or style requirement, there is an asphalt shingle produced that will fit in very nicely. The Louisville homeowners in particular require roofing services capable of dealing with much steeper homes along with many more valleys to deal with. A top roofing contractor in Louisville will have to provide these roofing services to be successful.
