The new 3m ultra reflective granule is integrated into soprema sg surfaced roof membranes to create solutions that provide the solar reflective index sri ratings needed to comprehensively meet. Seasonally or daily at the roofing level are detrimental to the. Solar reflective shingles and solar reflective roofing membranes can be an important component in a building system designed to reduce overall building energy consumption and the impact the home or building has on the environment. White highly reflective roof membranes and coatings have been proven to save building owners thousands of dollars annually on their energy costs.

A reflective roof membrane has the capability to reflect the sun s uv and infrared rays away from the building allowing the roof temperature to increase only by 12 o f which is much lower than the 78 o f increase from the traditional black roof. Over the last ten years new information has emerged about reflective roofing. Since epdm membrane is available in both black and white era has also stayed current on the latest research specifically related to the use of reflective roofing. New highly reflective granule surfaced roof membrane developed through collaboration between 3m and soprema.
