Polyglass Kool Roof Solutions Self-Adhesive Membranes
Why do we say eco-friendly? Because Polyglass' Kool Roof Solutions Package — which includes its Polykool, Polybianko and Polyfresko self-adhesive roofing membranes, — have highly reflective white surfaces that help reduce energy consumption by minimizing the heat island effect. The company says the materials are Energy Star-rated, Cool Roof Rating Council-listed and California Title 24-compliant — all nice things that mean that such roofing can contribute toward your building's LEED credits.
The Kool membranes combine a top ply of APP ("asphaltic polypropylene polymersmodified," if you must know) bitumen compound with a self-adhesive bottom ply, eliminating the need for fasteners and other installation accessories. Let me tell you, now: On the roof's the only place I know where you just have to wish to make it so. But I live in Never-Never-Land. You, of course, would probably want to contact your architect and engineer, show him this, and see what he or she thinks before proceeding.
