By Western Colloid.
There are thousands of reasons to choose a cool, green or solar roof system, most of all being that they are better for the environment. These roof systems come with quite a lot of personal benefits too — they help reduce energy costs and the high quality insulation maintains the temperature inside a building. With so many benefits from these roof systems, it is no wonder that building owners are asking about greener options.
In addition, with the passing of Title 24 in California, stringent South Coast AQMD standards, and the financial incentives given by the utilities companies, cool roofing is now the fastest-growing sector in the roofing industry. But meeting the standards for cool roofing can be a confusing endeavor. Luckily, Western Colloid is here to help!
Western Colloid created Cool Roof Systems that can make a huge difference in the heating and cooling costs of your building. Specifically, Fluid Applied Reinforced Roofing (FARR) systems. The cost of upgrading or restoring your roof with this system is offset by the cost savings for your building. Additionally, your roof upgrade may qualify for government rebates, tax deductions, or write-offs.

Apply over BUR, Modified Bitumen, Single Ply, Spray Foam and Metal
