Malarkey Shingles Keep Your Roof Cool and Help Reduce Your Utility Bills

March 11, 2021    JD Hostetter

Malarkey Shingles Keep Your Roof coolAre you spending an unnecessary amount of money on energy bills each month? Is your home always chilly in the winter and too hot in the summer? If so, the culprit may be your aging, outdated roofing system.

We understand that you want to keep your home at a comfortable temperature without breaking the bank with outrageous utility bills each month.

That’s why a roof replacement with Malarkey Roofing Products® energy-efficient shingles is the best way to keep your house cool while reducing energy usage.

Malarkey’s Cool Roofing shingle granules, installed by JD Hostetter, work to reflect the sun’s ultraviolet light away from your roof so that you can enjoy lower energy bills and a cozy, well-insulated home.

How Energy-Efficient Shingles Work

You’re probably interested in energy-efficient shingles that will cool your home and lower your energy bills. But you might be wondering how they work.

The secret? Reflective granule technology.

Shingle granules have a drastic impact on your roof’s performance, appearance, and longevity. But most importantly, shingles work to reflect the sun’s damaging rays away from your home.

Each energy-efficient Malarkey roof is made with 3M™ Cool Roofing Granules that reflect 20 to 25 percent of the sun’s energy.

Cool Roofing Granules are an excellent investment because they:

  • Increase your roof’s lifespan.
  • Make your home a more comfortable temperature.
  • Lower your energy bills.
  • Improve air quality.
  • Reduce heat-related illness.

For reference, a traditional asphalt roof only reflects 3 to 12 percent of solar energy, which may shorten your roof’s lifespan and cause more heat to be transferred into your home.

Incredible Features of Malarkey Cool Roof Shingles

Malarkey Cool Roof shingles include incredible features that will add beauty, durability, and longevity to your roof.

You can be confident your roof is covered by a fantastic warranty. You’ll save money on energy bills, and know that your shingles can stand up to storm damage.

3M Cool Roofing Granules

These shingle granules are made with highly reflective pigments that reflect infrared light away from your house and reduce the amount of heat transferred into your home.

RCap™ Plus Cap Sheet

These highly reflective white shingle granules are embedded into the roofing membrane to reflect ultraviolet rays and reduce the amount of heat absorbed into your home.

Flexor® Polymer Modified Asphalt

This durable asphalt material increases flexibility and granule adhesion of the shingles to offer extreme weather protection, including Class 4 impact resistance.

Scotchgard™ Protector

This coating made of copper-containing granules protects your shingles from black streaks and stains caused by algae.

Right Start™ Warranty

Malarkey offers a non-prorated, transferable warranty that offers 100% warranty coverage during the first 7 to 15 years after your roof installation.
Malarkey Cool Roof shingles are also offered with an additional wind warranty.

Benefits of Malarkey Energy-Efficient Shingles

Besides having a beautiful, new roof, energy-efficient shingles offer homeowners tons of other incredible benefits. Here are a few:

Lower Utility Bills

Even though the initial investment for your new roof replacement will be costly, you’ll save countless dollars on electric bills in the years to come.

Malarkey’s energy-efficient shingles can save up to 15% of the power you’re currently using to cool your home. This decrease in energy use will result in a significant return on investment!

More Comfortable Home

Since Malarkey’s energy-efficient shingles work to deflect heat from your roof, your home’s interior will be significantly cooler after your new shingles are installed.

A standard roof can reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit in the hot summer sun. An energy-efficient roof will stay up to 50 degrees cooler, which will take the strain off your air conditioning system and keep your home at a more comfortable temperature.

Longer Roof Lifespan

Harsh UV rays from the sun can have a damaging effect on your roof.

Since Malarkey’s energy-efficient shingles reflect infrared light away from your home, your roof will last much longer than most traditional roofing systems.

Beautiful New Roof

If your roof has already experienced storm or water damage, you may already need a roof replacement. So why not upgrade?

Investing in energy-efficient Malarkey shingles will result in an attractive, durable roof that will last for years to come.

Tax Credit

Many energy-efficient roof replacements will qualify you for a federal tax credit. Consult your tax professional to see if your new roof is eligible.
