Fire King Fleurette

Energy Star Compliant Residential Roofing Materials and Fire Protection

I’m not a residential roofing expert, but I do know to how to do a simple roof repair. As a teen I used to work for my dad in the summer months, he was a roofing contractor back in the sixties. My dad was a consultant and a member of the Roofing Contractors Association of Southern California. Needless to say, I did not become a roofing contractor, but I do understand what goes into a residential roofing project. 2

In late October of 2008, my family and I lost our home to the Santa Ana wind-driven wildfire that threatened the Getty Center. Our new home had a shake wood roof just like our old home did, so the first thing we decided to do was to replace it with fire resistant roofing materials. 2

There are quite a few types of residential roofing materials that offer fire protection; we decided to do the main part of the house with a new type of metal roof system that also meets Energy Star compliance. Our new home is an architectural beauty; there is a section of the house that has a flat roof top patio that looks out over downtown Los Angeles. For more information visit Totonto Roofing companies

After doing a bit of research I found out about green roofs and how architects and roofing contractors are using new environmentally friendly technologies to create fantastic self-contained garden spaces atop commercial buildings. I wanted to utilize that new technology in my residential roofing application.

To do green roofs on flat roof buildings there are some structural issues that need to be considered. The roofing contractor I ended up hiring to do the work had previously done a few green roofs on some residential roofing jobs back in the summer of 2008. I was fortunate enough to have purchased a home that was designed by an architect that used commercial grade materials for the home’s residential roofing structure.

The biggest change that had to be made to the roof was a roof coating that was sprayed onto the commercial waterproofing that was on the roof from the time it was built in the nineties. There is no difference to using a roof coating on a residential roofing project than there is when using one on a commercial application.

My new home is now completely remodeled and we have just moved in. The entire pitched part of the roof has a fire resistant metal roof that was manufactured with an Energy Star compliant roof coating that reflects the Southern California sun’s heat away from the interior and the flat section of the home has a roof top garden space that looks out over downtown. What really makes me happy about using environmentally friendly techniques on my remodel project is the fact that we saved a lot on our taxes.

With the federal government offering tax payers a credit for using Energy Star compliant materials and with the money we are going to save on utility costs, I think more people should use more environmentally friendly materials on their residential roofing applications. If you think that it is time to replace your roof, I suggest you consider looking into using the new technologies that offer not only fire protection but that also help cut energy costs.

Even though we lost everything in the wildfire, I’m content knowing that we have a home that is Energy Star compliant and gives us protection from any future fires.

The Fire King $6.49 Long ago shape-shifters were plentiful soaring through the sky as crows racing across African veldts as cheetahs raging furious as dragons atop the Himalayas. Like gods they reigned supreme. But even gods have laws and those laws when broken destroy. Zoufalstvi. Epatoivo. Asa. Three words in three very different languages and yet Soria understands. Like all members of Dirk & Steele she has a gift and hers is communication. When she is chosen to learn the dead language of a shape-shifter resurrected after thousands of years of icy sleep she discovers a warrior consumed with fury. Strong as a lion quick as a serpent — Karr is his name and in his day he was king. But he is a son of strife a creature of tragedy. As fire consumed all he loved so death was to be his atonement. Now against his will he has awoken. Zoufalstvi. Epatoivo. Asa. In English the word is despair. But Soria knows the words for love.
