Cool Roof System Installed by Kirberg at Missouri State University

St. Louis Roofing Company, Kirberg Company, recently completed the two-month installation of a new Cool Roof System at Kemper Hall; the home of the Department of Physics, Astronomy, and Materials Science at Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri.Ý The innovative cool roof system, manufactured by Johns Manville, is a cost-effective, energy efficient roof designed to stand up to the elements for years to come, and it is expected to save the university a significant amount of money over time.

Cool Roof systems like the one installed for Kemper Hall are among the fastest growing commercial roofing systems in the industry. They're made of an especially durable material with low-temperature flexibility and high-temperature tolerance. They are exceptionally resistant to wind and fire, as well as ultraviolet, ozone, and chemical exposure.

Kirberg Company was happy to recommend the Cool Roof system, which comes with a 20-year warranty, and to provide the university with a solution for this that will serve them well in the future.

"At Kirberg Company, we present the facts and provide our clients with the best roofing solutions based on their needs, budget, energy consumption, maintenance requirements, and repairs," said Eric Kirberg, Vice-President of Kirberg Company. "We always have our clients' best interests in mind, and that's why they come to us with their roofing needs."

The Kemper Hall project is not the first roofing project that Missouri State has hired Kirberg Company to complete. The roof consisted of a total replacement, amounting to 400 squares. Earlier in the summer of 2011, Kirberg replaced the roof on the Plaster Student Union, the gathering and learning center for the students. The materials used for both roofs were Derbigum, a type of cool roof system that works to save and produce energy.Ý The student union roof took two weeks to complete, and amounted to 100 squares.
