The Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficient Roofing Materials

Homeowners and business owners in New Hampshire understand the importance of having a durable and reliable roof to protect their property from the harsh weather conditions. However, have you considered the benefits of choosing energy-efficient roofing materials? At Queen City Roofing, we specialize in providing our residential and commercial customers with high-quality, energy-efficient roofing solutions that not only enhance the comfort of your building but also help you save money on energy bills.



One of the primary benefits of energy-efficient roofing materials is their ability to reduce heat transfer. Traditional roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, absorb a significant amount of heat from the sun, which can cause your attic and living spaces to become uncomfortably warm during the summer months. This excess heat forces an air conditioning system to work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, leading to higher energy consumption and increased utility bills.


In contrast, energy-efficient roofing materials, such as reflective shingles, metal roofs, or cool roofs, are designed to reflect a large portion of the sun's heat away from your building. These materials often feature special coatings or pigments that improve their reflectivity, helping to keep the roof and interior spaces cooler. By reducing the amount of heat that enters a building, energy-efficient roofing materials can help maintain a more consistent and comfortable indoor temperature, while also reducing the strain on the HVAC system.


Another advantage of energy-efficient roofing materials is their potential to extend the lifespan of a roof. The constant exposure to the sun's UV rays and heat can cause traditional roofing materials to deteriorate more quickly, leading to cracks, warping, and other forms of damage. Energy-efficient roofing materials, on the other hand, are designed to withstand the effects of the sun's heat, which can help to prolong the life of a roof. This increased durability can save money on costly repairs and premature roof replacements in the long run.


In addition to the energy savings and increased durability, energy-efficient roofing materials can also contribute to a healthier indoor environment. When your attic and living spaces become too warm, it can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which can negatively impact the air quality in your  home or building. By keeping the roof and interior cooler, energy-efficient roofing materials can help to reduce the risk of mold growth, creating a healthier living or working environment for you and your family or employees.


Moreover, choosing energy-efficient roofing materials can also have a positive impact on the environment. By reducing your building's energy consumption, you can help to lower your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. Many energy-efficient roofing materials are also made from recycled or eco-friendly materials, further reducing their environmental impact.


At Queen City Roofing we offer a wide range of energy-efficient roofing materials to suit the needs and preferences of our residential and commercial customers in New Hampshire. Our experienced team can help you select the best roofing solution for your building, taking into account factors such as your budget, aesthetic preferences, and energy efficiency goals.


Some of the energy-efficient roofing options we offer include:


  • Reflective asphalt shingles: These shingles are coated with special granules that reflect the sun's heat, helping to keep your roof and interior cooler.


  • Cool metal roofs: Metal roofs are naturally reflective and can be coated with special paints to further enhance their energy efficiency. They are also durable and long-lasting, making them an excellent investment for your property.


  • Reflective EPDM or TPO roofs: More appropriate for commercial uses, these rubberized, reflective roofs help minimize the heating effect of direct sunlight.


Investing in energy-efficient roofing materials not only provides long-term cost savings but also contributes to a more comfortable, healthy, and sustainable building.
