By Western Colloid.  

Western Colloid makes installing an energy-efficient green roof system easy with FARR. 

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! 

Consider a FARR system – Fluid Applied Reinforced Roofing 

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. 

With our Cool Roof Green Roof System you can: 

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

  • Decrease energy costs by as much as 30% 

  • Lower maintenance costs 

  • Improve occupant comfort with the high-reflective the roof 

  • Increase life cycle of the roof 

  • Reduce “Heat Island” effect 

  • Protect against UV degradation 

  • Reduce waste added to landfills by not tearing down current roof 

  • Be in compliance with the California Title 24 and USGBC LEED Requirements 

  • Many systems have FM 4470 Class 1 approval, UL Class A ratings and ICC-ES evaluation 

  • Meet South Coast AQMD standards, which are some of the most stringent VOC limits in the country
