Ultra-Cool/Energy Star
All Ultra-Clad™ HYLAR 5000® products are now Ultra-Cool®. Incorporating Dura Coat Product’s Durapon 70 system technologies, Ultra-Clad products meet the ENERGY STAR® requirements for cool roof certification. All standard Ultra-Clad color formulations utilize Cool technology pigments and are Cool rated.
Benefits of Cool
- Heat is reflected away from buildings
- Lower environmental temperatures help reduce smog levels
- Cooler interior spaces help save the cost of energy used for cooling
- Increased roof life expectancy due to less expansion and contraction
- Superior workability & handling. Products are cooler to the touch
- Cool pigments typically have better gloss retention and fade resistance than non cool
- Monetary incentives increasingly offered for reflective-roofing products
When these advantages are combined with the generally recognized benefits of metal roofing–greater fire resistance, lighter weight, seamless integrity, 100% recyclability, wide color choice and long life–Ultra-Cool products are a wise choice for you and the environment.
Why Cool?
Tests prove that on a 90° day, a white roof will have only a 110° surface temperature as compared to a 190° surface temperature for a black roof. Despite the obvious energy savings of a white roof, building designers, architects and owners desire a wider range of color options. The solution: CMG Ultra-Clad coatings, which offer high heat reflectivity without sacrificing color choice.
LEED Recycled Content Information
The following is information related to the recycled content of Coated Metals Group’s (CMG) Ultra-Clad pre-finished steel substrate and subsequent products fabricated from it. Note that CMG employs multiple suppliers of steel substrate. As a result, the actual mill source location cannot be determined until the shipping point is established. For specific LEED information, customers are encouraged to inquire on an individual project or order basis.
