Cool Roof System
For a cool, comfortable lifestyle
The Cool Roof System is a system of combined components that enhances the cooling effect of the heat reflecting undertile membrane RadenShield™ even further. The Cool Roof System utilises the concept of convection whereby cool air enters through the eaves and as it heats up, creates an air circulation that escapes through the ventilated ridge (Dry Ridge System).
Heat transmission can occur through three processes, namely radiation, conduction and convection. Radiation, which accounts for the lion's share of heat transmitted within a home, causes discomfort within our sanctuaries. The Cool Roof System is a system of combined components that enhances the cooling effect of the heat reflecting undertile membrane RadenShield™ even further.
The Cool Roof System utilises the concept of convection whereby cool air enters through the eaves and as it heats up, creates an air circulation that escapes through the ventilated ridge (Dry Ridge System). In colder or humid climates, this ensures that moisture and stagnant air can escape, preventing the build-up of mould and wood rot. In hotter climates, the release of hot air reduces heat conduction into the roof space and ultimately the home.
As a passive system, Coverland Cool Roof System keeps running the entire day. When the house is cooler, airier and fresher, you use less air-conditioning. Savings are therefore made due to the reduced energy required.
BenefitS
The benefits of RadenShield™, an element of the system, are amplified as the cooling effect is enhanced. The CoolRoof® Technology was developed by the Monier Technical Centre, Germany. Due to its success MONIER in Malaysia, Indonesia and India are also currently offering the CoolRoof® technique.
- 10°C Cooler
- 60% reduction on airconditioning usage
- 30% electrical savings
