Reflective shingles
Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2009 11:45 pm
We are going to have to replace our roof this summer so I have been researching different options. We thought that we wanted to go with the stone coated metal until we got an estimate for $20,000.00 to do our house and garage Needless to say, we won't be doing that! I have been doing some research on reflective shingles from ELK. Has anyone used them?
Also, in another topic, Yanita talked about having a whirlybird fan in her attic. Not to sound stupid, but do mobile homes have an attic or a space for a fan?
Our house is well insulated; we have 2 x 6 walls with extra insulation, and we even upgraded to an Artic pack insulation when we ordered it. We have 28 windows in it; we have replaced 20 of them with double hung low e but it gets hot here in the summer so I'm thinking that the reflective shingles and an attic fan would help.
Any thoughts?
