Project Description
Cool Roof Tiles (Heat Reflective Tiles)
Overview
A cool roof is one that reflects the sun’s heat and emits absorbed radiation back into the atmosphere. The roof literally stays cooler and reduces the amount of heat transferred to the building below, keeping the building cooler and at more constant temperature.

Advantages
Provides Thermal Insulation with Superior Passive Cooling Technique
Reduces Inside Room Temperature minimum 5 to 8 degree Celsius
Reduces surface temperature up to 24 degree Celsius
Acts as a Good Water-Resistant barrier
Very Cost Effective Compared to Other Insulation System
Eco-friendly Product – Provides Natural Air-conditioning
Complies with ENERGY STAR® & Cool Roof Rating Council Guidelines
Test certified by NABL accredited laboratory and Conforms to ECBC / LEED / IGBC Roofing standards.
Reduces use of AC; Hence lessens CFC emission
Reduces power consumption; Hence reduces electricity bill
Durable, lightweight and high dimensional stability
Withstand a considerable amount of load
Anti-skid surface

FUNCTIONALITY
High Albedo
A high solar reflectance capability that will reduce heat island effect, save energy – indoor temperature reduction in buildings without air-conditioning and cooling load reduction agent in the air-conditioned buildings
Lifetime Performance
A durable thermal insulation product that most often lasts the lifetime of a building; reduced resource requirement for replacements due to natural disasters, wind-driven rain, moisture damage and vermin.
Disaster Resistance
Resistance to damage from hail and high winds and can sustain winds in excess of 125 miles per hour that would strip off most other roofing material
Economical Cost
More economical than other roofing products on a life-cycle basis; significant energy and in-maintenance savings
GREEN ASPECT
Beyond Kilowatts – benefits of saving energy (25%-40%)
Minimally processed product with reduced non-renewable material use
Reduced smog from urban heat island effect – high SRI, high thermal resistance and thermal transmittance
Reduced heat ingress and flux when the sun cooks the roof
Some part of Stone Grinding Slurry waste is also used in the non-wearing layer
Negligible environmental footprint
Longer life cycle
