Carlisle is a roofing company that provides a wide variety of roofing systems and solutions. They provide an "EPDM" roofing system in black for Northern climates and white for Southern climates. The black roofing stands up the northern winters by attracting the sun's solar energy and can help reduce heating costs during the cold. The EPDM membrane may also help to melt snow that can pile up on the roof and lead to collateral structural damage due to the weight.
Southern climates, on the other hand, have to deal with the heat of the sun, and white roofing will reflect the heat and reduce cooling costs throughout the mild winter and hot summers. Sunbelt areas, where the demand for cooling is greater than heating and make reflectivity a benefit.
Whether you select tile, rock or synthetic shingles for your roof, selecing the right color for your location can save you thousands of dollars a year in heating and cooling costs. And don't forget to check out green roofs....growing living roofing insulation can save you even more!
