Energy Efficient Roofing
At Billy Ellis, we understand that you are constantly looking for innovative ways to enhance the value and beauty of your home. After all, your home is your most valued asset, and maintaining that investment is a top priority. So it only makes sense that you should consider energy efficient roofing for your home.
Billy Ellis has a total solution! Discriminating homeowners that are tired of the short lives and ordinary looks of other residential roofing materials select Energy Efficient Metal Roofs by Billy Ellis for distinctive beauty, durability, and energy efficiency. Our specialty metal roofing systems adorn thousands of homes, and that number is growing every day.
The Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® coating incorporates the advanced HI-R Heat Barrier coating, which creates a cooler, more efficient home due to the special reflective pigments embedded in the finish. The complex chemical structure of these pigments reflects away the infrared portion of the sun's rays most responsible for heat. A Classic roof coated with HI-R reflects away the sun's heat, leaving the attic space and the entire building much cooler in the summer. In the winter, reflected heat from the sun helps the roof shed snow and ice build-up evenly and quickly. Homeowners with a Billy Ellis Metal Roof report saving up to 25% or more on their energy costs.
• Reduces attic heat gain by up to 34%
• Reflects the sun's radiant energy
• Approved U.S. Energy Star Partner

As the technology of the industry constantly improves, we are committed to improving with it in order to make sure that we are always producing only the highest quality metal roofing systems possible. This commitment to quality often involves updating certain aspects of our product design.

A unique four-way interlock system assures a weather-tight, wind-resistant hold on all four sides of a Billy Ellis metal roof. This interlock system has been proven in laboratory tests to remain watertight even during wind-driven rain of over 110 miles per hour.
TEST RESULTS, FLORIDA SOLAR ENERGY CENTER SUMMARY
Starting with the summer of 1999 and continuing this year, Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) has been including one metal roofing system produced by Classic Metal Roofing Systems with the testing done at their Flexible Roof Facility (FRF). The results of this testing clearly substantiate the energy efficiency of our products and provide further confirmation of testing which FSEC did for Classic in 1985.
TEST DESCRIPTION: The FRF is built to allow side-by-side comparison of six different roofing systems. Analysis is done as to the mid-attic temperatures reached in these test cells during a three-month period each summer. The FRF is located near Cocoa Beach, Florida and, as such, has fairly consistent weather from summer to summer, allowing analysis to occur between the various three-month test periods. The mid-attic temperature readings are further extrapolated into air conditioning loads and energy usage ratings including allowances for attic ventilation and air conditioning ductwork running through the attics. FSEC has tested various roofing products including glazed white clay tile, black asphalt shingles, red "terra cotta" clay tile, and white steel standing seam. The products they have tested for Classic are as follows: 1999 – White Aluminum Shake; 2000 -- Medium Brown Aluminum Shake; 2001 -- Reflective ("Hi-R") Medium Brown Aluminum Shake; 2002 – Reflective ("Hi-R") Ivory Aluminum Shake.
RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS: Our products have consistently shown favorable results in terms of average high temperatures during the test periods.
