Atlas Roofing Corporation has enhanced solar reflectivity performance across its Pinnacle Sun shingle line, delivering improved energy efficiency and expanded design flexibility for homeowners and contractors.
The updated Pinnacle Sun lineup features increased Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) values across all cool color offerings, representing an overall improvement of approximately 15-25 percent depending on the color. This improvement helps the roof reflect more radiant heat, reducing heat transfer into the home and improving indoor comfort.
Atlas is also introducing Cool Oyster, a new color with an SRI rating of 22. This addition pairs high solar reflectivity with a brilliant cool gray, giving homeowners a fresh, versatile option that balances performance and style.
These performance gains are paired with advancements in color consistency and overall appearance. As part of its ongoing commitment to operational excellence, Atlas has incorporated enhanced granule blending into its manufacturing process. This includes a refined application method that delivers richer, more vibrant colors with more unified blend patterns.
The result is improved aesthetic consistency across the roof while maintaining the high-performance standards contractors and homeowners expect.
Pinnacle Sun shingles are engineered as a high-performance system, combining multiple 3M technologies in a single product to deliver one of the most technologically advanced shingles on Products with Purpose. People with Passion.Atlas Roofing Corporation the market today. 3M Cool Roofing granules help reflect the sun’s radiant heat away from the roof, which can reduce cooling costs by up to 15 percent*. That performance is supported by 3M Scotchgard Protector, which helps prevent the black streaks caused by algae that can darken the roof surface over time. By keeping the roof cleaner, Scotchgard Protector by 3M allows the cooling technology to perform as intended and maintain solar reflectivity over time.
This integrated approach extends beyond energy performance. Pinnacle Sun shingles are manufactured with 3M Smog-Reducing Granules, which convert smog-causing pollutants into water-soluble ions that are washed away with rain, delivering the smog-fighting capacity of two to three trees on an average-sized roof.
The enhanced Pinnacle Sun shingles are available nationwide and meet key energy code requirements, including California Title 24 compliance, with select colors meeting the more stringent requirements of Los Angeles and other local jurisdictions. The updated Pinnacle Sun line is available now.
