Auburn Tile is your Cool Roof Solution:

Auburn Tile is licensed by the Cool Roof Rating Council and our tile colors surpass the building energy efficiency standards put forth by the California Energy Commission . ( Title 24). 

 

What are the benefits of having an Auburn Tile Cool Roof:

 -    Save on annual electricity bills by reducing summer air conditioning costs.

-         Save peak electricity demand costs if you have time-of-use metering.

 -    Reduce roof maintenance and replacement expenses by extending roof life. Auburn Tile  products protect your roofing underlayment by reducing the heat stress that can cause premature breakdown.

-        Helps to reduce the heat island effect. Heat islands develop in cities and result in temperature  that can be 2 to 8 degrees warmer that the surrounding countryside.

-    Reduce roofing waste added to landfills.

-    Save money by helping builders and roofers meet California's Title 24 Energy Efficiency

      Building Standards; which allows them to install Auburn Tile without costly add-ons to satisfy the requirements of Title 24.

 

-    Auburn Tile’s products meet the Cool Roof criteria without the use of paints, dyes or special

     coatings. So you don’t have to worry about the coatings wearing off and having your roof take on an additional heat load.

 

-        Cool Roofs don’t “heat up” like other types of roofs. That’s because Cool Roofs have two properties non-rated roofs do not; they reflect the sun better and they dissipate heat more efficiently.
