A Comparative Temperature Test of Atlanta’s Duraroof uPVC Roofing vs. GI Steel Roofing
A recent comparative temperature test conducted by Atlanta Industries evaluated the thermal performance of two roofing materials: Duraroof uPVC roofing and GI steel roofing. The test recorded a significant difference, with Duraroof uPVC roofing maintaining a temperature of 34°C, while the GI steel roofing registered a higher temperature of 43°C. This 9-degree gap highlights the difference in heat retention between the two materials.
The primary reason for this variation is the difference in thermal conductivity. Duraroof uPVC roofing, with its lower thermal conductivity, absorbs and transfers less heat, resulting in a cooler environment beneath the roof. In contrast, GI steel roofing, known for its higher thermal conductivity, allows more heat to pass through, causing a warmer indoor atmosphere under similar conditions.
These findings emphasize the superior thermal efficiency of Duraroof uPVC roofing, making it an ideal choice for hot climates. Its ability to maintain cooler temperatures can improve comfort levels and reduce the reliance on cooling systems, leading to potential energy savings. For homeowners and businesses looking to enhance energy efficiency and comfort, Atlanta’s Duraroof uPVC roofing presents a viable, cooler alternative. Keep your roof cool with Duraroof.
