[TM] Mineral Surfacing, an energy-saving modified bitumen bitumen (bĭty  `mən) a generic term referring to flammable, brown or black mixtures of tarlike hydrocarbons, derived naturally or by distillation from petroleum. roofing system, combines the superior tensile (700 lbs.) and tear (1,400 lbs.) strength of a high-performance membrane with the energy-saving benefits of highly reflective surfacing. Standard white minerals typically provide 25 to 30% reflectivity re·flec·tiv·i·ty n. pl. re·flec·tiv·i·ties 1. The quality of being reflective. 2.

Garlands Starburst mineral provides 50 to 60% reflectivity, which can decrease rooftop temperatures to about 1200 F, significantly reducing urban heat-island effect and extending the working life of the roof. In addition, the Starburst super-bright, high-albedo mineral surfacing retains 50% of its initial reflectivity years after installation, for even greater energy savings over time.
