Installing a DECRA Metal Roof provides an excellent opportunity for a homeowner or building owner to significantly reduce solar heat gain on their interior conditioned space.
Installing a DECRA Metal Roof provides an excellent opportunity for a homeowner or building owner to significantly reduce solar heat gain on their interior conditioned space. This action will, in turn, reduce the building’s overall cooling expense. To quantify this DECRA Metal Roof insulation advantage, we contracted with R&D Engineering, Cookeville, TN* to calculate thermal resistance performance (expressed as the R-Value) for each of our DECRA Metal Roof panel styles used in an installed roof system. R&D Engineering is an internationally recognized lab focused on thermal resistance research for building products.
