The Cool Roof System
A 5-component ventilation system that creates continuous airflow under your tile roof, dramatically reducing heat transfer and cooling costs.
High-Performance Underlayment
Synthetic underlayment provides a secondary water barrier over the roof deck, protecting against wind-driven rain and condensation.
Vented Eave Risers
Installed at the eave line to create intake airflow, drawing cooler outside air under the tile and across the roof deck.
Elevated Batten System
Raised battens create an air channel between tiles and underlayment, allowing convective airflow that carries heat away from the roof deck.
Vented Ridge
Exhaust ventilation at the ridge peak allows hot air to escape, completing the continuous airflow cycle from eave to ridge.
Westlake Roof Tiles
Concrete or clay tiles with high solar reflectance and thermal emittance properties that reduce heat absorption by up to 40%.
Arizona Impact: The Cool Roof System reduces attic temperatures by up to 30°F, cutting cooling costs by an average of 22% — especially significant during Arizona's 6+ month cooling season.
Built for Arizona Conditions
UV Resistance
Tile roofing is naturally UV-resistant and will not crack, curl, or deteriorate under Arizona's intense sun exposure the way organic materials can.
Monsoon Protection
Rated for winds up to 150 MPH with interlocking design. Tile weight provides natural wind resistance superior to shingles.
Heat Reduction
Natural thermal mass plus the Cool Roof System's air channel reduce heat transfer by up to 40%, cutting cooling costs by 22%.
Class A Fire Rating
Non-combustible concrete and clay tiles carry the highest fire rating available — critical protection in wildfire-prone Arizona areas.
