Green Your Roof System With Fluid Applied Reinforced Roofing (FARR)

By Western Colloid.  

Western Colloid makes installing an energy-efficient green roof system easy with FARR. 

There are thousands of reasons to choose a cool, green or solar roof system, most of all being that they are better for the environment. These roof systems come with quite a lot of personal benefits too — they help reduce energy costs and the high quality insulation maintains the temperature inside a building. With so many benefits from these roof systems, it is no wonder that building owners are asking about greener options. 

In addition, with the passing of Title 24 in California, stringent South Coast AQMD standards, and the financial incentives given by the utilities companies, cool roofing is now the fastest-growing sector in the roofing industry. But meeting the standards for cool roofing can be a confusing endeavor. Luckily, Western Colloid is here to help!
