Cool technology meets timeless style

By Jesse Sanchez.

Solaris shingles merge eco-efficiency with enduring aesthetics.

As climate-conscious innovations transform the roofing industry, CertainTeed’s Landmark(R) Solaris® shingles shine as a game-changer for contractors and homeowners alike. These shingles marry the appeal of classic roofing styles with advanced solar reflectance technology, offering a sustainable and energy-efficient solution without compromising visual allure.

The Solaris shingles employ a revolutionary "cool roof" granule technology, designed to reflect the sun’s infrared radiation, a major contributor to roof heat. According to CertainTeed, this innovation reduces roof temperatures and cooling costs, enabling homeowners to potentially achieve energy cost savings. The product line boasts Solar Reflectivity Index (SRI) values that meet or exceed industry codes and regulations in several parts of the United States, making them eligible for credits in environmental building programs like LEED® and NAHB®.

Darker colors, cooler outcomes

Traditionally, dark shingles absorbed more heat, posing a challenge for energy-conscious homeowners. With Landmark Solaris shingles, CertainTeed bridges the gap between aesthetic preferences and thermal performance. Homeowners can now enjoy rich, bold colors like Solaris Graphite and Weathered Wood while benefiting from energy savings. As stated by CertainTeed, “The capacity to reflect sunlight with bright colors has traditionally been at odds with homeowners’ preference for darker shades… until now.”  

Designed for durability and ease

Landmark Solaris is not just about energy efficiency. Its dual-layer construction enhances durability, while features like a wide nailing area ensure precise installation. Complementary components such as hip and ridge caps and waterproof underlayment form part of CertainTeed’s Integrity Roof System, which maximizes longevity.

Solaris offers a compelling blend of performance, sustainability and timeless design. The brand’s diverse palette and robust warranties ensure that these shingles are as reliable as they are stylish.
