CertainTeed Roofing

Landmark Solaris™ from CertainTeed Roofing is a brilliant energy-saving breakthrough that puts cool roof technology to work.  Landmark Solaris is a steep-slope, solar reflective asphalt roofing shingle which contains advanced colored granules that reflect the suns rays and can reduce a roofs temperature by as much as 20% in the summer.

As an advanced hybrid roofing material, Landmark Solaris combines the traditional beauty of asphalt shingles with the ecological benefits of cool-roof technology.  The result is a long-lasting ENERGY STAR® rated product.

Blending ecological technology and innovative performance, Landmark Solaris roofing is more durable than traditional shingles. The reflective technology reduces “thermal shock,” the expansion and contraction of exterior building materials.

This roofing product qualifies for an energy tax credit of up to $1500 under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.  For more information, visit the CertainTeed Energy Tax Credit page.
