We Can Make Any Roof COOL!

In building, we share common goals — combining the most durable structure with the most energy-efficient building envelope possible. One of the best ways to achieve that is a COOL roof.

As North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, no one offers more COOL reflective roofing options than GAF. So whether you have an existing building that needs a new roof or a newly constructed building, GAF has a COOL roofing option to meet your needs—including both asphaltic and elastomeric/thermoplastic options. This gives us the flexibility to evaluate your specific roofing need and recommend the right cool roof solution—without “pushing” any one particular technology.

“ We love GAF’s comprehensive line of Cool Roof Solutions. It gives our customers lots of options for new construction, re-roofing, and re-cover applications.”

Why Be COOL?

COOL roofs offer both immediate and long-term benefits, including:

— a white or reflective roof typically increases only 10–25 °F (5–14 °C) above ambient temperature during the day

— building owners can save on their heating and air-conditioning costs1

of roofs

such as LEED® or Green Globes® recognize cool roofing

— especially when there isn’t adequate insulation pro-vided in the roof envelope

in buildings that do not have air conditioning

— cool roofs let you ‘go green’ by reducing air pollution and the urban heat island effect

1. Visit gaf.com/cool for an energy-savings calculator.

A COOL roof minimizes the solar heat gain of a building by first reflecting incoming sunlight and then by quickly re-emitting the remaining absorbed energy. As a result, this type of roof stays cooler than traditional roofs of similar construction, and therefore keeps the internal temperature of the building cooler. The “coolness” of a roof is measured by its solar reflectance and thermal emittance. Both are measured on a scale from 0 to 1 — the higher the value, the cooler the roof.

GAF’s COOL Elastomeric/Thermoplastic Roofing Options

® Next-Generation TPO Roofing. EverGuard Extreme® TPO (patent pending) not only provides next-generation performance against heat aging and UV degradation (the two key factors directly related to roof system longevity), but it also exceeds all key ASTM standards for TPO membranes. Why settle for “standard” TPO when you can get the next-generation protection of EverGuard Extreme® for your property? Plus, it offers a special guarantee that allows you to install your roof today, but add solar panels or vegetative roofing up to ten years later—without compromising your guarantee coverage. Note: EverGuard Extreme® TPO is now available in economical 50 mil and 70 mil versions, as well as traditional 60 mil and 80 mil. Best For: All standard, high heat, or solar single-ply applications, or where you just want the best TPO system possible.

® TPO Roofing. For new construction, TPO is fast becoming the membrane of choice, thanks to its ease of installation, high reflectivity, proven performance, and economical price. GAF’s classic EverGuard® TPO features industry-leading guarantees, and provides superior performance at a cost-effective price. Best For: Standard single-ply applications in new construction or re-roofing.

® Liquid-Applied Roofing.

From metal to modified bitumen, BUR, or single ply, TOPCOAT® liquid-applied roofing can restore or add reflectivity to virtually any roofing system. A highly reflective elastomeric coating might be a cost-effective option to increase energy efficiency. TOPCOAT® restoration systems can help renew, repair, and restore virtually any surface to a reflective cool surface—and can help save you money versus a traditional replacement roofing system. Best For: Budget-friendly option for adding 10 years or more to the life of an aging metal, asphaltic, or single-ply roof, or for use as a highly reflective coating on any new roofing system.

® PVC Roofing. Although PVC is more expensive than TPO, for roof applications that require resistance to grease, oil, or chemicals, EverGuard® PVC is the right choice. It offers the same reflective benefits and ease of installation as TPO. Best For: Applications that require resistance to grease, oil, or chemicals, such as restaurants, factories, etc.

“ I wanted a GAF EverGuard® roof for the energy savings—but now that it’s installed, the energy savings have exceeded my expectations!”

— Scott Brenner Brenner Real Estate Boca Raton,FL

Reflectivity isn’t the only path to energy savings. GAF offers additional solutions to improve energy efficiency, whether it’s intended for commercial or residential applications.

EnergyGuard™ Polyiso Insulation. GAF supports the whole-building concept of energy efficiency, and the biggest bang for the buck is upgrading your roof’s insulation.

Studies show that energy bills are significantly reduced by increasing the R-value of insulation. GAF’s EnergyGuard™ Polyiso Insulation is the best solution for high R-value impact, available in both rigid board stock and taper.

Master Flow® Attic Vents. GAF solar-powered attic vents are designed to cool your attic by removing damaging heat and moisture—and to help reduce your energy costs. Our Green Machine™ line of solar-powered attic vents features options for both rooftop and gable mounting as well as the world’s first solar-powered ridge vent.

GAF’s COOL Asphaltic Roofing Options

® Built-Up Roofing (a.k.a. “BUR”). GAF has been a pioneer in the development of reflective BUR roofing that is ENERGY STAR® qualified and Title 24 compliant. We’ve accomplished this through our GAFGLAS® EnergyCap™ Cap Sheet. It is a granular-surfaced BUR cap sheet with a factory-applied coat of our TOPCOAT® elastomeric coating. The result is an easy-to-install BUR roof that is ENERGY STAR® qualified and Title 24 compliant. EnergyCap™ Cap Sheet can be used as the top layer in a multi-ply BUR system or in a hybrid BUR/modified bitumen system. Best For: Any installation that needs the proven safety of a multilayer BUR system (e.g., schools, military, warehouses, or any building where leaks would be highly problematic), with energy savings.

® Modified Bitumen (a.k.a. “MB” or “mod bit”) Roofing. Those who are looking for the special qualities that a modified bitumen or hybrid MB/BUR roof can provide can now achieve energy savings as well. RUBEROID® EnergyCap™ Cap Sheet can be used as the top layer of either a traditional two-layer MB system or a multi-layer MB/BUR hybrid system. Either will result in a roof that is ENERGY STAR® qualified and Title 24 compliant. Best For: Any installation that wants to add energy savings to the traditional benefits of a mod bit or hybrid roof.

® GAF’s ENERGY STAR®-qualified Timberline® Cool Series Shingles feature specially designed roofing granules, which have greater reflectance than traditional shingles. This results in less transfer of heat to the space below— which may even translate into savings on your energy bill. GAF’s Cool Series Shingles are available in three popular colors. Best For: All shingle installations (condos, townhouses, or commercial building facades) that require the energy-saving properties of a reflective roof.

* Includes 25% WellRoof® Guarantee Extension. See WellRoof® Brochure for details and the WellRoof® Guarantee Extension for complete coverage and restrictions.

** See GAF Shingle & Accessory Ltd. Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions. The word “Lifetime” means as long as the original individual owner(s) of a single family detached residence [or the second owner(s) in certain circumstances] owns the property where the shingles are installed. For owners/structures not meeting above criteria, Lifetime coverage is not applicable.

“ I wanted the performance and security of a mod bit roof, but with the energy savings of cool. GAF EnergyCap™ was the perfect answer.”
