In Kerala’s tropical climate, keeping homes cool without excessive reliance on air conditioning is a priority for many homeowners. One of the most effective ways to manage indoor comfort is by choosing the right roofing shingles. Certain shingle varieties are designed to reduce heat gain naturally, helping to maintain cooler interiors while lowering energy bills.
At Scaffs India, we offer premium shingle collections that not only protect homes but also improve energy efficiency through advanced heat-reflective technologies.
How Shingles Reduce Heat Gain
Roof shingles play a major role in heat transfer. By reflecting solar radiation and limiting heat absorption, they help reduce the temperature inside your home. This natural cooling effect is achieved through:
Light-Reflective Coatings – Special surfaces reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it.
Thicker, Layered Designs – Multi-layer shingles provide better insulation.
Cool Roof Technology – Some shingles meet Energy Star® standards, designed to minimize heat buildup.
