a great reflection on your home

Landmark Solaris forms a barrier between your roof and the sun that reduces your roof’s temperature by as much as 20 percent in the summer.

Landmark Solaris is ecologically smart, beautifully durable, and architecturally ideal for sunny climates or anywhere solar heat is a challenge.

THE HEAT REFLECTS AWAY,AND YOUR HOME STAYS COOL.

Landmark Solaris™ is a brilliant breakthrough that puts cool roof technology to work for you. Plus, our palette of rich, authentic colors makes it an easy choice for eco-friendly living.

The secret is in CertainTeed’s advanced roofing granulesthat reflect solar energy and radiate heat far better than traditional roofing shingles.

you don’t have to gowhite to go greenUsing cool roofing technology has beenrecognized as one of the easiest, mostcost-effective ways of lowering energyconsumption. But until now, going greenmeant going white.

While white is naturally reflective, LandmarkSolaris’ innovative technology puts colorwhere white used to be and produces ashingle that reflects solar infrared rays thatare a source of heat gain through the roof.

That’s a green of a different color.

a cool explanationWhat are Solar Reflectance and Thermal Emittance?

Solar reflectance and thermal emittanceare the two radiative properties used tomeasure the “coolness” of a roof.

so cool, it’s rated for rebatesLandmark Solaris is rated by Cool RoofRating Council for cool roofs.

Landmark Solaris shingles may qualifyfor credits/points in LEED®, NAHB® andother “green” programs.

And some utility companies offer a rebate for Landmark Solaris that canput as much as $300 back into a homeowner’s pocket for an average3,000 sq. ft. roof.

Landmark Solaris shingles are ENERGY STAR® qualified roof products that meet both solar reflectance and thermal emissivity requirements.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2/17/09 enableshomeowners to receive up to a $1,500tax credit if they install specific energyefficient products that carry an ENERGY STAR rating.

natural beauty

As an advanced hybrid roofing material,Landmark Solaris™ combines the traditional beauty of asphalt shingleswith the ecological benefits of cool-rooftechnology.

The result is a long-lasting ENERGYSTAR rated product.

smart. sustainable.

CertainTeed’s advanced roofing granules reflect infrared rays to reduce roof temperatures by up to 20 percent, lowering energy costs and reducing the “heat island” effect – a cause ofsmog, impaired water quality, and heat-related illnesses.

Blending ecological technology and innovative performance, Landmark Solaris™ roofing is more durable thantraditional shingles. The reflective technology reduces “thermal shock,”the expansion and contraction of exterior building materials.

And, Landmark Solaris™, meets ENERGY STAR standards for solar reflectance and thermal emissivity.

hot town… solar in the city

U.S. cities and suburbs often have airtemperatures up to 10 degrees warmerthan surrounding areas.

Elevated summertime temperaturesin these developed areas produce “heat islands,” which are detrimental to human health and the environment.

Heat islands form as pavement andbuildings replace trees and other natural land cover. They add to highertemperatures in the following ways:

• Displaced trees and vegetation minimize the natural cooling effects of shading and evaporation.

• Structures heat the air trapped between them and reduce airflow.

• Waste heat from vehicles and air conditioners add warmth to air.

There are two primary strategies for mitigating heat islands: increasing vegetative cover and installing alternative roofing materials such as Landmark Solaris shingles.

“Elevated temperatures from urbanheat islands, particularly duringthe summer, can affect a commu-nity’s environment and quality oflife.”
