Problems solved by technology

Such asphalt surfaces absorb radiation, thereby resulting in increased temperature which can result in thermal degradation of the roofing system and/or increase the cooling costs of the roofed structure.
As a result...

Embodiment Construction

[0045] Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for the purpose of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention only and not for the purpose of limiting same, FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art roofing system 10. The roofing system 10 is secured to a roof, roof substrate (e.g., base sheets), or subroof R by any suitable arrangement. The roofing system 10 is a shingle that includes a bitumen- or asphalt-based material 12, 15, a reinforcement material 14 therebetween, and layer of granules 16. The reinforcement material 14 is typically a felt or fiberglass material that is commonly used in the art. The reinforcement material 14 is shown as being fully embedded in the bitumen- or asphalt-based material 12. The granules 16 are illustrated as being partially embedded and secured in the bitumen- or asphalt-based material 12. The granules are typical granules used in roofing materials. The granules are generally derived from a mineral base rock such as greenstone, greysto...

Abstract

A roofing or siding system having an improved average resulting reflectivity. The roofing and/or siding system is at least partially coated with a plurality of granules. At least one layer of paint is applied to the roofing and/or siding system to increase the resulting reflectivity of the roofing and/or siding system.
