Reduce #UrbanHeatIslands with a #CoolRoof. #PVC roofs can reflect at least 75% of the sun's rays and emit 70% or more of solar radiation—minimizing smog, greenhouse gases, and other air pollutants. For more information, click here: ow.ly/KuU250Lrboi

#PVC roofs' heat-welded seams are one of many factors contributing to their #durability. Stronger than the #roofing membrane itself, these seams create a long-lasting, watertight bond. Learn more here: ow.ly/Mze350LrbeM

#FunFactFriday: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that if 80% of American air-conditioned spaces installed #CoolRoofs, there could be an annual #CO2 reduction of 6.23 megatons. That’s equivalent to offsetting the CO2 emitted by 1.2 million cars!
