What is Cool Roof technology?
At a time when everyone must work to preserve the planet and combat climate change in their own way, Cool Roof technology offers a solution to the problems of temperature distribution in urban areas. SFT Roofing 's solutions effectively reduce the air conditioning needs of buildings and improve the thermal comfort of occupants.
Inspired by the traditional architecture of hot countries, the Cool Roof is a technology that keeps roof surfaces cool, thanks to the properties of:
reflectivity of the materials used, i.e., the ability to reflect the sun's rays.
emissivity, or the capacity to radiate heat.
What are the differences between a classic roof
and a Cool Roof roof?
In France, most roofs are made of dark materials that absorb light. Whether it's black bitumen roofs, steel sheet roofs, or traditional slate roofs, these roofs tend to trap heat. In contrast, the Cool Roof waterproofing membrane reflects nearly 95% of solar radiation.
Thermal comfort
The Cool Roof system helps maintain a constant and comfortable indoor temperature. Periods of intense heat therefore no longer impact the summer comfort of the occupants.
People moving around in a structure with a reflective surface therefore benefit from a better quality of life and preserve their health .
Environmental protection
With Cool Roof roofs , improving the thermal comfort of residents leads to limiting the use of air conditioning, a major energy consumer, major emitter of greenhouse gases and responsible for exacerbating the urban heat island phenomenon.
Like photovoltaic roofs , the Cool Roof roofing membrane therefore contributes to sustainable development and the fight against global warming, while also improving the air quality of urban areas.
The savings
on energy bills
Roof protection
Individuals and professionals who live or work in buildings with white roof membrane roofs no longer feel as much need to air-condition their homes or offices.
This change in behavior has a direct impact on the amount of the electricity bill, which decreases considerably.
When a building has a white roof, its lifespan is extended . Because the roof overheats less, it experiences less wear and tear. Consequently, maintenance work is less frequent.
Our products meet the requirements of RE2020 . They can be used in new construction or roof renovation .

The positive contribution of cool roofs
Why choose this technology?
In certain regions of France where the climate and urban planning regulations allow, flat roofs are common, and this type of construction, with its contemporary look, is becoming increasingly popular. These buildings can also offer additional living space when the roof is suitable for conversion .
