Metal roof panels are finished with Kirby's premium DiamondKote 70% PVDF finish (Kynar 500 or Hylar 5000) or can now be finished in the new cool-scape™ energy-saving solar reflective colors. Both finishes are backed by an industry-leading 35-year warranty.

Roof panels may be covered by a standard 20-year limited standing seam metal roof weathertightness warranty if requested at the time of order placement. A premium 20-year limited standing seam weathertightness warranty is available based on erector certification through completion of Kirby's builder training program.

With Kirby and your local Authorized Builder, you are assured the highest quality product, delivered on time and within budget. That's the Kirby Difference.

The Problem

Global Warming: Air temperatures continue to rise with temperatures in larger cities being as much as 12° hotter than nearby suburbs.

• Smog: Due to excess heat and increased energy production, many cities are exceeding ambient air quality standards.
• Energy Consumption: Alarmingly higher levels of energy requirements are increasing energy costs and depleting precious resources.
• Heat Absorbing Metal Roofs: Darker-colored roofs have become a major source of higher temperatures absorbing and retaining more heat than ever before.

The Solution

New cool-scape™ heat reflective metal roof colors from Kirby Building Systems can help win the energy war.

• Reflectivity, even on medium-to-dark colored roofs, is increased to meet Energy Star specifications for steep-sloped roofs greater than 2:12.
• Emissivity values exceed 80%, meeting virtually any energy code.

The Benefits

• Lower Energy Costs: Inside air temperatures are lowered, resulting in significant energy savings.
• Longer Metal Roof Life Expectancies: Roofs experience less expansion and contraction, reducing thermal shock and increasing life spans.
• Greater Metal Roof Color Flexibility: With reflectivity levels meeting Energy Star° specifications, the appearance of buildings can be enhanced due to greater roof color flexibility.
• Monetary Incentives: In many cases, legislative bodies are now offering monetary incentives to use heat reflective roof products.
• Better Environment: Lower air temperatures, decreased smog levels, and less pollution result in a cooler, cleaner environment in which to live.

cool-scape™ colors are available as non-stock standard colors and require special pricing and lead times. cool-scape is available with a 35 year paint finish warranty.
