Roof Cool

what makes a roof coolSolar-Reflecting Granules
Every shingle in the Cool Roof Collection incorporates a precise mix of granules engineered to reflect a greater portion of the sun’s infrared and UV rays—areas of the spectrum that carry the most heat Owens Corning.

Certified Performance
These granules help Cool Roof shingles meet—or exceed—the Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) requirements of California’s Title 24, Part 6, ensuring compliance with local energy-efficiency codes

Benefits for Southern California Homes

  1. Lower Attic Temperatures
    Studies show cool shingles can cut roof-surface temperatures by up to 40 °F, translating to a cooler attic space and less strain on your HVAC system.
  2. Reduced Energy Bills
    By reflecting solar heat, Cool Roof shingles can yield up to a 10–15% reduction in summertime cooling costs—money back in your pocket month after month.
  3. Extended Shingle Life
    Less heat absorption slows asphalt oxidation and granule loss, helping preserve your roof’s integrity and extending its service life.
  4. Design Freedom
    Unlike many reflective products that limit color choices to pale neutrals, Owens Corning’s Cool Collection offers the same rich, architecturally-inspired hues you’d expect from their TruDefinition® platform—think deep charcoals, slate grays, and earthy browns.

Maximizing Your Investment

  • Professional Installation
    Proper ventilation and underlayment are critical to realizing full cool-roof benefits. Choose a certified Owens Corning installer who understands local codes and best practices.
