What is a Cool Roof & How Does it Work? 

Stockton's Roofing Experts

What Is A Cool Roof?

The Cool Roof System is designed to increase the reflectivity of the surface area of the roof of your home. It reflects the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet rays of the sun which reduces the surface temperature of your roof and the radiant heat that penetrates a home. Cool roofs are generally a lighter shade that traditional dark roof tiles. Cool roofs have come in many different styles like a roof coating or a sheet covering, but GS Home Services prefers to use reflective shingles. The shingles stand up to time and weather better than their alternatives which means that you will save on roof maintenance in the years ahead. 

Why Do You Need a Cool Roof? 

Most traditional dark roofs around the world can reach temperatures of 190 degrees Fahrenheit in peak sunlight. This increase in roof temperature contributes to:


  • Higher electricity bills caused by increased AC usage
  • Increased temperatures decrease comfort
  • Roof wear and tear caused by high temperatures wearing down materials
  • Reduces footprint and reliance on power grid

Benefits of a Cool Roof 

By introducing a cool roof system on your household, you can:



  • Reduce overall energy consumption and lower utility bills
  • Improve indoor quality of life in non-air-conditioned areas of your home
  • Extend usability and lifetime value of upgraded roof

In addition to the benefits that a cool roof can have on your home, there are additional benefits to be gained if there are several cool roofs working together in a neighborhood.


  • Reduces overall local air temperatures
  • Electricity demand drops which prevents overburdening local powergrid
  • Reduces energy emissions from power plants that contain CO2, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxides, and mercury

Cool Roof Installation 

Deciding on a cool roof installation usually depends on whether the energy savings is enough to offset the cost of the install. How much energy you currently use vs the potential savings is largely dependent on several factors like your home’s climate, how well insulated your roof and attic are, the type of roofing materials used, and the effectiveness of your HVAC system.


The other factor that should be accounted for is the condition of your current roof. If you are already replacing your roof or building a new home, the pricing of a cool roof install should be comparable to traditional roofing. However, converting a traditional dark roof to a cool roof can require specialized help which is why installation and material costs have to be weighed against potential energy and utility savings.
