If you spent some time looking around for a new roofing company to hire for installing a new roof, you might have already found mention of something called a “cool roof.” Now, regardless of whether that refers to a trendy and stylish roof, the main meaning of a cool roof is that it’s designed to protect your home from the scorching heat of the summer sun.

The temperature and increased intensity of sunlight in the summertime can have a powerful impact on your roof. In most cases, it can lead to problems such as:

• Loss of color;
• Damage and transformed material properties due to rapid temperature changes;
• UV radiation getting past the exterior and bombarding the interior of your roof and attic;
• An overworked AC system.

A cool roof can prevent these issues, keeping your home cool and increasing the lifespan of the roofing materials that make up your roof. By reflecting the most harmful rays and acting as insulation to keep heat out, your new cool roof will prevent overheating, increase the lifespan of your HVAC, prevent internal and external damage and possibly even prevent a fire.

So make sure you contact one of your Aurora roofing companies quickly to inquire about a brand new cool roof that can completely transform the way you live.
