Which Roof Type Holds the Most Heat? Shingles vs. Metal vs. Roof-Over
Which roofing assemblies heat up the quickest and which assemblies release heat efficiently?
All roofs hold and transfer a certain amount of heat to a home or building’s interior, but some assemblies perform better than others. Today on The Metal Roofing Channel, Thad and the entire crew build four sample roofing assemblies to test which one stays the coolest throughout the course of a week.
The assemblies are:
- Metal
- Asphalt shingles
- Metal over asphalt shingles
- Metal over fanfold insulation over asphalt shingles
Topics covered:
- Experiment setup
- Temperature readings and analysis
