Envirocool®
A beautiful roof that saves you money – no wood shake can do that.
We enhanced our superior proprietary formulation with inorganic reflective pigments to create a highly engineered cool roof product with Enviroshake's unmatched quality and benefits: Envirocool.
What is Cool Roofing?
Cool roofing defines a material with enhanced properties that allow it to reflect and emit the sun's radiation back toward the sky instead of transferring the heat into your house.
The coolness of a product is measured by the Solar Reflectivity Index (SRI), which measures solar and thermal emittance.To be considered a cool roof, a product must have an SRI greater than 19.The higher the value, the cooler the roof.Enviroshake's signature roofing product Envirocool, hasan SRI value of 31.
If you are looking for even greater reflectivity, choose our custom colour Bermuda White, for an impressive SRI of 80.9.
Big benefit white on white.House stays much cooler (we could say ‘cold') all year so far.Have to keep socks on when walking on the tile floors.Our solar setup allows us to run AC 24//7 and our last 3 bills have been under $100 (2 were under $80) so that's unheard of around here.Enviroshake white slate with Icynene insulation, two great Canadian products both help out tremendously!
