摘要:
A roofing material includes a fire-retardant particulate material on its upper surface. A solar-reflective surface coating encapsules the fire-retardant particulate.
摘要:
An uncolored roofing granule including a low solar absorption base and a low solar absorption and solar opaque coating presented on the base, the coating including a binder, a pigment, wherein the binder includes a curable component and a non-clay, thermally reactive curing agent.
摘要:
A cool roofing system includes highly reflective calcined kaolin particles having a solar reflectance of 80% to 92%. When applied to a roofing substrate, the highly reflective kaolin particles produce a roofing system having a solar reflectance greater than or equal to 70%.
摘要:
A roofing product having at least two separate zones, with one of the zones having one or more certain functional characteristics such as flame retardancy, solar reflectivity, weather resistance, selected coloring, heat stabilization, algae resistance, and/or solar collection for electrical generation, and another of the zones not having such functional feature(s). The different zones can be present in core or capstock material. The product can be made by any of various processes, such as co-extrusion, forming, molding, coinjection, shot injection moldings, multiple step injection moldings and/lamination.
摘要:
A roofing material includes a plurality of laminate layers and a surface treatment. The plurality of laminate layers includes a top laminate layer which at least partially overlaps a bottom laminate layer. The surface treatment is on portions of the top and bottom laminate layers. A shadow area is created on a top surface of the bottom laminate layer, adjacent to the top laminate layer, that is void of the surface treatment. This shadow area has a distinct visual appearance from the other portions of the top and bottom laminate layers that are subjected to the surface treatment.
摘要:
A roofing product and method includes coating a substrate with bitumen to yield a bitumen coated substrate having an exposure zone. First granules are adhered to the exposure zone to yield a first granule coating. The first granules have a solar reflectance greater than 35. An adhesive is adhered to at least a portion of the first granule coating. An open portion of the first granule coating that is free of the adhesive is maintained. An overlay of non-white second granules is adhered to the adhesive, such that the overlay of second granules and the adhesive provide a raised structure above a plane of the first granule coating.
摘要:
Solar-reflective roofing granules having deep-tone colors are formed by coating base mineral particles with a coating composition including an infrared-reflective pigment. Color is provided by a colored infrared pigment, a light-interference platelet pigment, or a metal oxide.
摘要:
Roofing granules include a core having an average ultraviolet transmission of greater than sixty percent and an average near infrared reflectance of greater than sixty percent and a UV coating layer on the exterior surface. The coating provides UV opacity, while the core provides near infrared reflectance.
摘要:
This invention relates to a building cladding for inclined surfaces such as for a sloped roof. More specifically, this invention relates to a building cladding that is passively responsive to sun elevation angles, is multi-functional, and is substantially uniformly ornamental when viewed from common viewing positions. The cladding is predominantly comprised of pairs of substantially horizontal and vertical surfaces extended horizontally and repeated vertically or along the incline of the building substrate. Substantially horizontal surfaces may be adapted for absorbing solar energy, reflecting solar energy, generating electricity from solar energy, converting solar energy into another form of energy, and or ornamentally matching substantially vertical surfaces.
摘要:
Roofing material with an irregular surface and tailored radiation properties and tailored aesthetic properties in separate directions, simultaneously. This provides enhanced thermal performance in the sun direction and aesthetically pleasing visual appearance from viewing directions.
