Two new cool rated colors were introduced at Western Roofing Expo and both are part of the Unified Steel Stone Coated Roofing line, a lightweight option at just 1.5 pounds-per-square-foot that benefits from the structural strength of steel. Each new color provides high solar reflectivity and high thermal emittance when solar energy hits the roof surface, detracting sunlight and radiating heat off the roof surface. The colors exceed California Energy Code (CEC) Title 24 Part 6 Cool Roof Requirements and, with a Solar Reflective Index, or SRI, greater than 20, also meet LA County’s more stringent SRI requirements. The new hues, Harborwood and Stirling Gray, are offered in both PINE-CREST Shake and PACIFIC tile profiles.

In addition to the new cool rated colors, Westlake Royal Roofing Solutions showcased expanded Unified Steel offerings onsite in the booth. The roofing leader’s other robust product lines were also be on display and include: U.S. Tile Clay Roofing Products, a legacy line of clay tile manufactured to the highest standard of sustainability and craftsmanship; Newpoint Concrete Roof Tile, a durable concrete line known for its superior strength and long-lasting beauty; and Westlake Royal Roofing Components, a range of integrated roof components designed to deliver a higher standard of roof installation and performance. 

Additionally, the Energy Efficient Cool Roof System, featuring Above Sheathing Ventilation (ASV) that helps achieve significant energy cost savings, was showcased.

“Visitors to our booth will be able to explore a wide range of roofing systems and components, finding options that complement a variety of architectural preferences and styles, and that provide protection from extreme weather while dramatically improving energy efficiency,” adds Miller.
