INSULLA - COOL
TILES:
A cool
Roof tiles is designed in such a way that it reflects more sunlight
and absorbs less heat than a standard roof tile. Nearly any type of building
can benefit from a cool tile. Just as wearing light-colored clothing can help
keep you cool on a sunny day, cool roofs material is designed to reflect more
sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof.
Insulla Cool roofs reflect and emit the suns heat instead of
absorbing it. By reflecting the heat of the sun instead of absorbing it, they
keep buildings cooler and reduce the amount of energy needed to cool them, in
turn reducing the use of air conditioners and electricity consumption.
TEMPERATURE
DECREASE:
This is measured by two properties, solar reflectance and
thermal emittance. Both properties are measured from 0 to 1; the higher the
value, the cooler the roof. Standard or dark roofs can reach
temperatures up to 150°F or more in the summer sun. Insulla cool roof tile
under the same conditions could stay 50°F cooler and save energy and money by
using less air conditioning. Insulla Cool roof tiles
helps in reducing bills by decreasing air conditioning needs, decreases roof
temperature which in turn may extend roof service life. Advanced technology Shell Lime based Cool Grit Granules along
with Aerogel composite; it has the power to lower surface temperature by up to
20ยบ. Total solar reflectance value i.e SRI >95%.
WHITE:
How does the color of our tiles affect
the roof temperature?
Insulla
white roof tile
offers a number of advantages; Roofs are the elements of buildings most exposed to high
levels of ultra-violet light and solar radiation. Most color pigments tend to
mellow to varying degrees when subject to this exposure. Added to this, the roof naturally catches the majority of
fall-out pollutants and dust from the atmosphere.
Because the heat is reflected, attic rooms and other spaces directly beneath
the roof remain cooler, so in many cases air conditioning is no longer
required. In urban areas, white roofs also help lower smog levels by lowering
local temperatures, which tend to be higher due to the large proportion of
paved surfaces.
