GAF introduces RUBEROID and GAFGLAS EnergyCap Bright White Granulated membranes. The new surfacing replaces the previous coated membrane version with a new premium bright white solar reflective granule to help address cool roof initiatives across the country while also combining the durability of modified bitumen with the aesthetics of a solar reflective bright white surfaced roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A bright white granulated surfacing brings an added benefit of long-term solar reflectivity to a building, and can help improve overall performance of the total roofing assembly by maintaining the roof cap sheet at a lower surface temperature than a standard white granule surfacing treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This improvement can also help make installation easier for contractors by allowing for simplified side and end lap embedment improving adhesion and loose granule application on lap bleed-out. The EnergyCap membranes can be used in heat-welded (torched), cold asphalt, or hot-mopping asphalt applications and are FM Approved (refer to RoofNav.com<\/a> for specific assemblies), Classified by UL in accordance with ANSI\/UL 790 (refer to UL Product iQ for specific assemblies), and rated with the Cool Roof Rating Council for their reflective properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To comply with the requirements of the California Energy Code, Title 24, an Ultra Bright White version is also available. These products will be manufactured on a made-to-order basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
