The Energy Star approved roof products program was enacted by
The US Environmental Protection Agency & The US Department
of Energy, their mission was to encourage the public to help conserve
energy consumption and we applaud their efforts. The benefits
are for example having your roof painted white are obvious, it
saves on cooling costs by lowering demand for the electric to
run your ac, saves on ac repairs since your ac systems are not
under as much stress, using products like Roof Reflective Elastomerics
is also important because you want it to perform as long as possible.
1.*
Energy Star Rated Reflective Roof Products*
NOTE : Rebate checks are distributed to the contracting firm for
up to 50 cents per sq ft.
Rebate
incentive amounts that go to the contractor are to be deducted
from the labor expense cost to install an approved "Energy
Star" reflective product and it is calculated on the measured
air conditioned space of the property.
*The
IRS has tax incentives of up to 1500.00 for a reflective roof
systems, (See the Energy Tax Credit on the home page) for certain
types of reflective roof systems.*
*Roof coating products
submitted to be Energy Star Approved*
Fp&l representatives do not undertake the field verification
process for testing roof coating products, (roof coatings must
be applied for no less than a 3 year period on 3 seperate jobsites)
then slit sample removals of the weathered producst on jobsites
listed are to be collected.
In the field testing procedures and product designs used are
the responsibility of the contracting and manufacturing firms
to verify the weathered samples submitted were installed previously
on specific roof surfaces and the product recipe is consistant
with the lable designated.
The final testing is then completed by (U.L) Underwiters Laboratory
to determine that the standard minimum durability and reflective
characteristics are still at sufficient levels to be approved.
"Roof
Shield System provides the required strenght to shield out south
Florida's unpredictable weather and has the benefits of being
weatherproof, windproof,hurricane proof and is a multi layered
seamless system".
2.
Dade County Approved roof coatings or Mastics approved to be used
in High Velocity Wind Zones of the south Florida Building Code,
the TAS-121, means that a coating can be applied over an exiting
surface structures that already have the minimum required building
code within its engineered design.
WINDPROOF WIND LIFT RESISTANT Test is The Miami-Dade County, State
of Florida approved TAS-106. UPLIFT PULL TEST in the field on
the roof after the tile are permanently locked down (sealed at
all points momolythic) to specific pressures that unequivocally
demonstrate real hurricane force wind resistance
See our Up-Lift Test Video and data results just below the video
uplift test found on our products page
3. Dade County Appoved Mastic or Elastomeric does not make a tile
roof seamless or monolithic at all points and by itself is not
a multi layered system (Mastic's are approved to be applied to
the common field tile area only, and are not to cover or seal
the head laps), reference Tas-121.,
