Find the right tile for a cool roof by contacting EcoStar

June 22, 2026 at 7:44 a.m.

The performance of a cool roof depends on two main factors: solar reflectance and thermal emittance. Solar reflectance measures the fraction of solar energy a roofing tile reflects, while thermal emittance refers to the tile’s ability to radiate heat away from its surface. Together, these qualities help keep roofing materials cooler and reduce the amount of heat entering the home.

EcoStar synthetic roofing tile is offered in a variety of colors and styles and is designed to capture the look of natural tile while providing a sustainable, lightweight roofing option.
