Cool roofing is essentially a roofing system comprised of building materials that are lightweight and reflect direct sunlight away from the building. The roofing must also have high emissivity (ability to emit energy by radiation) which allows the cool roof to discharge infrared energy. This type of roofing can, amazingly, lower the surface temperature of the roofing by up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"background: white; mso-highlight: white;\">There are many benefits associated with installing cool roofing on public buildings. The most obvious goal is to protect the environment due to the lower energy expenditure. This also results in massive savings on energy cost, and there can be government subsidization with cool roofing as well. While still relegated to the public roofing sector, cool roofing is an exciting new development that will be intriguing to watch as we move into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\" style=\"position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<p><!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal<\/w:View> <w:Zoom>0<\/w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves \/> <w:TrackFormatting \/> <w:PunctuationKerning \/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas \/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false<\/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false<\/w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false<\/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF \/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-CA<\/w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE<\/w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE<\/w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables \/> <w:SnapToGridInCell \/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct \/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules \/> <w:DontGrowAutofit \/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark \/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp \/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables \/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx \/> <w:Word11KerningPairs \/> <w:CachedColBalance \/> <w:UseFELayout \/> <\/w:Compatibility> <w:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser \/> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val=\"Cambria Math\" \/> <m:brkBin m:val=\"before\" \/> <m:brkBinSub m:val=\"&#45;-\" \/> <m:smallFrac m:val=\"off\" \/> <m:dispDef \/> <m:lMargin m:val=\"0\" \/> <m:rMargin m:val=\"0\" \/> <m:defJc m:val=\"centerGroup\" \/> <m:wrapIndent m:val=\"1440\" \/> <m:intLim m:val=\"subSup\" \/> <m:naryLim m:val=\"undOvr\" \/> <\/m:mathPr><\/w:WordDocument> <\/xml><![endif]--><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Studying the Latest Advancements in the Roofing Industry<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">Roof Pro + may be experts in the field with the experience that is required to become known as Tor<span style=\"background: white; mso-highlight: white;\">onto&#8217;s best roofing company.

However, this does not mean we are set in our ways or refuse to learn new things about roofing and building science. In fact, we have made it a top priority to stay constantly educated and updated with respect technological changes in the field. Our President, Chris Hasenauer, is the roofing expert and leading authority on the current industry trends and knowledge on the scientific side of the business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"background: white; mso-highlight: white;\">One important aspect of roofing education is understanding exactly how a manufacturer instructs the contractor to install their product. A roofing warranty is a very valuable thing, securing your home financially in an unfortunate event. However, this warranty can become null and void if the roofing system is not installed correctly! Contractors must know precisely what the manufacturer says about installation and follow the directions. <\/span>Roof Pro + studies this intensely, and always make sure the work is installed properly. The difference between a roof lasting 10 years with good installation and 30 years with excellent installation can be minor, which is why attention to detail and following manufacturer instruction is so very important.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; background: white; mso-highlight: white;\">Roofing Industry Advancement: Cool Roofing<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"background: white; mso-highlight: white;\">While cool roofing is generally installed on larger public and commercial buildings, it is still a very interesting scientific and technological advancement that is becoming very popular within the industry. Cool roofing is essentially a roofing system comprised of building materials that are lightweight and reflect direct sunlight away from the building. The roofing must also have high emissivity (ability to emit energy by radiation) which allows the cool roof to discharge infrared energy. This type of roofing can, amazingly, lower the surface temperature of the roofing by up to 100 degrees fahrenheit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><span style=\"background: white; mso-highlight: white;\">There are many benefits associated with installing cool roofing on public buildings. The most obvious goal is to protect the environment due to the lower energy expenditure. This also results in massive savings on energy cost, and there can be government subsidization with cool roofing as well. While still relegated to the public roofing sector, cool roofing is an exciting new development that will be intriguing to watch as we move into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--[endif] -->* Style Definitions *\/ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:&#8221;Table Normal&#8221;; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:&#8221;&#8221;; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:&#8221;Calibri&#8221;,&#8221;sans-serif&#8221;; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} &#8211;&gt; <!--[endif] --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studying the Latest Advancements in the Roofing Industry Roof Pro + may be experts in the field with the experience that is required to become known as Toronto&#8217;s best roofing company.
