Gilchrist sunny days can reach up to 90.8° F in July, which can stress your air conditioning unit significantly and increase your energy costs. To avoid these issues, it is increasingly common for home and business owners to look for energy-efficient roofing options to help regulate indoor temperatures and alleviate A/C units' workload.
Suppose you want to make the summer most pleasant and ensure your roof doesn’t deteriorate due to intense heat and humidity. In that case, you may consider energy-efficient materials like CertainTeed Flintlastic or solar shingles for your roof.
CertainTeed Flintlastic
This premium, self-adhered roofing membrane made from modified bitumen, known as asphaltic, is suitable for most low-slope roof system applications. These membranes are highly flexible and durable, resisting damage from UV radiation, intense heat, and weather inclemencies. They can also withstand footprints and punctures, making them ideal for roofs with frequent maintenance routines.
Some Flintlastic membranes have reflective surfaces that help reduce heat absorption and the cooling cost of your building, resulting in energy savings on the bill. They’re also waterproof, which can prevent damage due to water infiltration or leaks. Their ease of installation can reduce labor costs and make them a good choice if you’re looking for affordable, energy-efficient roofing materials.
However, remember that Flintlastic is easier to install and performs better on flat and low-slope roofs. Thus, if your roof has many angles or pitches, it may be better to choose other roofing materials. Also, these membrane roofs require a well-crafted drainage system to prevent water ponding in flat roofs.
Solar Shingles
These innovative shingles can harness solar energy and convert it into electricity like a solar panel while offering a more straightforward installation system. They blend seamlessly into your home's aesthetics, making them more visually pleasant than solar panels, and they can last between 20 and 30 years. Since they turn solar energy into power, they can reduce your dependence on traditional electrical sources, leading to more energy savings with the new roof.
Although they are outstandingly energy-efficient, solar shingles can be more costly than solar panels, reaching up to $25 per square foot. You may also need help finding a certified contractor specializing in this new material in your area, especially if it's relatively small.
