Landmark Solaris

Landmark Solaris AR is a laminated asphalt shingle made by CertainTeed. It is the algae-resistant cool roof version of the Landmark shingle. Its ceramic-coated mineral granules have high solar reflectance, and the shingle is offered in a traditional color palette.

It is a separate product from standard Landmark, Landmark PRO Solaris and Landmark TL Solaris. In residential shingle roofing it is the exposed covering of a pitched roof, and underlayment, flashing, starter and ridge products are separate components.

Every color of Landmark Solaris AR is rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC).

Landmark Solaris AR has a fiber glass mat base. High-reflectance ceramic-coated mineral granules are embedded in refined, water-resistant asphalt. Two pieces are laminated together with asphaltic cement, and each shingle has self-sealing adhesive strips.

The shingle also carries CertainTeed's NailTrak feature, a wider nailing area. Landmark Solaris AR shingles help protect against dark or black discoloration, sometimes called staining or streaking, caused by blue-green algae (Gloeocapsa magma). Available colors vary by region. The colors offered for Landmark Solaris AR in each region are listed in the product brochure and on the CertainTeed website.

Four colors are listed with their CRRC product ID number, aged solar reflectance, aged thermal emittance and aged solar reflective index (SRI).

• Aged Cedar: CRRC 0668-0055, aged solar reflectance 0.24, aged thermal emittance 0.90, aged SRI 24.
• Crystal Gray: CRRC 0668-0058, aged solar reflectance 0.26, aged thermal emittance 0.90, aged SRI 26.
