Custom-Bilt Metals Vail Titan Select Shingles

Vail Titan Select shingles represent one of the most environmentally-friendly building choices available today. Vail Titan Select shingles keep homes cool and energy costs down while maintaining performance in harsh weather and bringing style to the home’s exterior. Durability, aesthetics and green attributes make Vail Titan Select Shingles ideal for any climate, including those with the harshest of temperatures and weather conditions.

The Titan Cool Roof Reflective Paint System is a premium, two-coat system featuring BASF and Kynar 500 reflective pigmentation technology. This material delivers a highly energy-efficient cooling performance by reflecting up to 70 percent of the sun’s total radiation. Less heat in a home’s attic means a decreased demand on the home’s air conditioning system. Most homeowners see an approximately 30 percent drop in their energy bills after installing a Cool Roof from Custom-Bilt Metals. The U.S. EPA corroborates this figure, which can translate to upwards of $450 in annual energy saving. When Vail Titan Select shingles are used in larger, localized quantities, such as in a subdivision or new neighborhood, their properties can help to reduce the urban heat islands that contribute to the accumulation of smog.

Vail Titan Select Shingles are Energy Star compliant, and not only help to keep roofs cool, but are 100 percent recyclable and include recycled content. Roofing life cycle is increased because of lessened expansion and contraction of the roofing material. Additionally, because the metal itself is longer-lived than composite shingles and roofing materials, the cost of re-roofing a home is virtually eliminated over the life of the home and more roofing material is kept out of landfills. Many homeowners can enjoy lower fire insurance premiums after installing a metal roofing material like Vail Titan Select shingles.

Cool Roof products from Custom-Bilt Metals contribute up to 24 points in a LEED certification level. A cool metal roof is eligible for one point in Credit 7.2 of the Sustainable Sites category. It will also contribute to points in other credits where recycled content, recyclability, energy optimization, and water collection properties are included in a whole-building, weighted-average approach. For example, a cool Kynar 500-based prepainted metal roof can qualify for one point in Credit 7.2 of the LEED Sustainable Sites category if it covers at least 75 percent of the roof surface area and meets certain criteria for Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) values.
