Knowing that our roof needed replacement, Precision applied for and was awarded a grant from the City to install state of the art roofing material that is designed to reflect ultraviolet rays away from the roof.  This will keep our roof and building cooler. Dark materials absorb a greater amount of heat than lighter/white materials.  A typical asphalted black roof absorbs 70% or more solar energy than a "cool roof". On a sunny, summer day, a black roof can reach temperatures in excess of 170°F.  On the same day, the highly reflective GAF Cool Roof can be as low as 110°F.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/39DD8DDD-4ED9-49BF-9DDE-19E2968F0950/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
