Marcus Hiles – Western Rim - Fort Worth Real Estate Powerhouse Introduces Reflective TechShield®

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

When Marcus Hiles first launched Western Rim Property Services to tap unmet demands of the Texas residential renting market in 1990, he already knew his industry interventions, revolutionary in their essence, would make him a housing innovator. Western Rim communities built throughout Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio are not only recognized for their elegant design and state-of-the-art amenities, they are also highly regarded for efficiency. With their ENERGY STAR appliances and environmentally sustainable construction, residents enjoy lower utility bills and better temperature control, due to the installation of reflective TechShield® radiant barrier sheathing.

Advanced central air conditioning HVAC systems cool all of Marcus Hiles' properties; HVACs use less energy than standard thermal comfort units, TechShield® radiant barrier sheathing adds an extra layer of protection from the heat. The radiant barrier is a reflective material mounted to the sheathing of the roof to redirect the sun's intense rays, blocking 97 percent of its produced warmth from ever entering the home. The barrier's post-lamination foil incising process uses VaporVents™ technology, an innovation that allows its panels to fight moisture accumulation, adding to the durability over its more than 20-year lifespan. As this layer of shielding keeps attic temperatures down while combating humidity within the roofing, the overall effect ultimately requires less air conditioning throughout the home, thereby utilizing less electricity.

Marcus Hiles is a renowned real estate expert and philanthropist who has changed the landscape of Texas rental market. He has planted a total of 30,000 trees in the last 10 years, while adding 2,500 trees annually remains a key part of Western Rim's long-term objectives. He has also personally donated over 59 acres of parkland to the state of Texas, in the interest of conserving and protecting local wildlife and the preservation of open green spaces for public use.
